  |  English Fern is green in a warm, dry, herbal, aromatic way, yes, pretty much a classic fougere I think. I appreciate how the herbal notes are not overpowering, sharp, bitter or sour like they too often are. The scent feels well blended and smooth with a distinct liquorice note - warm liquorice (fennel?) not cool anise. Feels outdoorsy in a refined, traditional way, like a 30ies gentleman in a light sports costume and a straw hat inspecting his garden or playing tennis with his wife without getting sweaty. Or possibly out for an autumn walk in a cashmere pullover - this may be an autumn scent rather than a summer scent. The sillage is quite strong and the scent linear and longlasting.08 June 2008 |
  | A new scent for me, I'm still working on a full review. DEFINATELY lighter than I;m used to but, well more to come 07 June 2008 |
 | This is a very fine Fern fragrance, which is classic without being "old fashioned"; formal but not stuffy. While I like it very much, it loses out by a leaf to Wild Fern by Trumper which is just a tad more lively and interesting. English Fern, however, has its admirers, and for good reason. It is a rich fragrance and very much carries the smell of indoor ferns, whereas Wild Fern is a bit lighter and "out-doorsy". The Penhaligon is nevertheless an excellent choice. And an almost perfect fragrance for the business man who wants to stand out but not obtrusively so. Joe 05 June 2008 |

| English fern is nice for the right person. Which in this case is not me. You can definitely smell the quality in the scent but i think the mark is missed by this being "too woodsy". With alot of green scents, you have a little something to offset the green. Not here. If you "seriously" want to smell like your rolling in an english field, this is all you.. just not my bag, but high quality 29 August 2005 |

| Fresh, green and incredibly classic. It's like a walk through wild english woodland after a spring shower. I'm not sure if there is any lavender in this but there is immediate herbaceous lavender topnote that simultaneously lifts and calms. This is nice stuff but a little too fresh for me. 21 March 2005 |
