Not bad, but not my style. Simultaneously too masculine and too Christmasy. As time passes it mellows and gets a little soapy, which is not bad.

Thank you Penhaligon for taking me back to one of the most loved olfactory experiences of my childhood: those grayish, velvety pelargoniums whose scented leaves would fascinate my nose then, too. So much so that I learnt to love their scent long before I developed a fondness for flowers and their scents in general. There was an abundance of them where I grew up, my mother, the first fragrance lover in my life would softly touch their leaves and I would wiggle them, the scent on our fingers would keep my nose busy for a long time. Now, smelling English Fern, I can even almost see the plants we used to stop by. Some lost time, something forgotten brought back by a little bottle. What else can I want?
Pelargonium isn’t listed as one of the notes of English Fern, maybe it’s the combination of lavender and geraniums (close relatives of pelargonium) that make me think of pelargonium but whereas geraniums are usually warm and hissy on my skin, this is pure bliss. Serenity. Bright. Slightly metallic. Somehow androgynous, somehow feminine.
I didn’t get this experience the first couple of times I sampled English Fern. I had other questions, learnt questions in my mind. Would I be able to handle this fougere or would I smell like an eccentric English gentleman wearing a tweed jacket and taking a walk in the beautiful English countryside? How would it compare to other green fragrances I knew? The topnotes justified my concerns as English Fern opens with a blast of dense, green, almost pine-like notes on my skin. Wonderful and rejuvenating for an aromatherapy experience, a smellalike for the stuff you sometimes pour on hot stones in a sauna – this is the second time I’m using this description and I still don’t know what that stuff is called. But if it was left at that, I would never get a full bottle of English fern and decide to wear it everywhere. And then one day, the green blast lost its tenacity and bang… pelargoniums. I now have a full bottle of English Fern and it has a unique category of its own in my collection.
I think it’s very versatile. If you like the smell, you could wear it everywhere, to a wedding, to bed, to the boardroom… The scent is mostly linear and realistic on my skin. Layers beautifully with another favourite, Rive Gauche.
Medium sillage and good lasting power.

Im going through my samples from Penhaligon’s. This house is really “flower garden” and I prefer florientals . . . . anyway, English Fern to my nose, at first sniff I said “Wow, the name English Fern is sooo appropriate”. It is really green (not grass but fresh bushes/leaves), earthy, clean and soapy. This definately brings to mind an old world English gentleman’s smelling scent . . . maybe aftershave?? This is a unisex scent but too masculine for my tastes.

Supposedly the closest extant relative to Houbigant’s fabled Fougere Royale. English Fern is a classical fougere of the highest order–mind you classical fougere–not the more modern aromatic fougeres we are so used to like Jazz, Tsar, Patou Pour Homme Prive, and others. English Fern is one of the best examples of the pure fougere accord–lavender, geranium, citrus, sandalwood, and oakmoss with patchouli and clover for good measure likely with tonka, too though it is not listed. It is not nearly as earthy as Trumper’s namesake offering. Many reviewers have commented that English Fern does not smell like a fern–it is not supposed to–the fougere genre is an abstraction of natural green elements among others. Fougere merely refers to a type of fragrance with dominant lavender-geranium-oakmoss-tonka accords that became popular at the end of the 19th Century. English Fern is quite a bit smoother and more refined than other “fern” fragrances.

I tried this one yesterday and though it was nice, there was a note that I kept bothering me. This comes out as refreshing and cooling, perfect for the summer and also better suited for a man than a woman. The lasting power is really good, but that constant sharpness along with a cooling effect, like a menthol note, is not what I’m looking in a fragrance.

Christmas wreath in a bottle. Green, minty, lavendary scent that reminds me of Mennen Skin Bracer, though I haven’t smelled Mennen in years. A good, all occasion frag that I like less than when I bought it mostly because my tastes have changed in the past few months of intensive adventures in fragranceland. Only three lippies because I think it has an artificial smell that cheapens it for me, but not hugely. I wear English Fern when I have to put on a suit and lecture or go to court and I want a frag that will please me but be acceptable and fresh to others. Like much of traditional English fashion, it is correct. Wouldn’t buy it again because there are so many other scents I’ve come to prefer, though probably none of them are as versatile as EF.

Chanel no.19 for a man… or just for everyday. Simultaneously elusive and satisfying, just as a fragrance should be. Deeply English, which is to say: well-bred, pastoral and eccentric. Quite unique and sophisticated, but not the least bit brash or sleazy. I like it on myself (I’m 21 years old, a girl), but would die for it on a man.

Stunning. I wear other scents but I always, always come back to this. Nothing else smells quite like it – just the most beautiful distillation possible of the smell of the forest in a bottle. Heavenly.

This is a classic, typically English fragrance. The blend is impeccable and from the first sniff right through the dry down you can just smell the quality here. The top note of lavender combined with the sandalwood note really softens the fragrance so that it is clean without being overly soapy and never tends towards accrid leatheriness, as some fougeres do. This is overwhelmingly green, but in a fresh, soft way. I utterly love it, it has instantly become a must have – both my fiance and I loved the sample we had and I have ordered a bottle for the bathroom. I really recommend getting a sample of this if you can, it really is lovely and exceeded all my expections, it is not at all fusty, just a lovely, personal scent for both sexes. Top marks!

From Penhaligon’s website: “Fresh, calm and alert, as irresistible a tonic to the senses as a walk in green woodland. Here is distilled essence of natural life, with fern and oakmoss. City rigours zappped – instantly! Its fresh, green scent makes it the ideal bathing range for both men and women. Top Notes – Geranium, Lavender; Middle Notes – Oakmoss, Woody, Clover; Base Notes – Patchouli, Sandalwood”
Really really nice unisex lavender leaning towards the masculine end of things. I was suprised how much I actually liked this one. Green, fresh from shower, lavender, soft enough (must be the sandalwood base). Worn lightly on a man, just enough to sniff when you go in close … this would be so sexy! Can imagine the delights in owning a candle!
