Reviews of Wild Fern| Harvitz81 Show all reviews | A very classic fougere. Pen’s English Fern is definitely my favorite from this variety, but comes across pretty sharp and harsh at times. Wild Fern is a much more subdued green scent with oakmoss accords. I didn’t detect any lavender in the opening, which in my opinion a true fougere should have. Overall you can tell this is made from quality ingredients, though it is pretty weak. Longevity on me is in the 4-5 hour range. This one is very close to vintage FR (lucky enough to have a sample of this), though no where like the newly released FG (which I don’t think is a fougere at all). If Pen’s is too strong for you, but you like this type of scent, then Wild Fern will be perfect. 24th September, 2011. |
| ironduke South KoreaShow all reviews | It is Amazon jungle steamy forest, not English countryside with quiet, wild flowers. Not that I hate jungle steamy forest, just different. I like the shower gel too. I believe it as one of best of Trumpers alongside West Indian Extract of Limes. Better than Penhaligon's since Trumper's have less harsh notes. 21st June, 2011. |
| Redbeard United StatesShow all reviews | I'm not big into this type, but here goes: it opens with mostly wintergreen or faux-WG, with a bit of a cooler, more direct green note on top of that. Burns my nostrils unpleasantly (definitely the only Trumpers to do that!). Starts to develop a Blenheim/Wellington style sweaty herb overtone. But then all of a sudden, it smooths out dramatically (did my nose break?). Now it's a lot weaker, and more of a calm green without too much mint or dry herbs. This is acceptable. Why didn't it tell me right from the start that it was going to do this? This is much more relaxed than Pen's English Fern, making it another example, like the aforementioned pair, of Penhaligons using a jackhammer and brute force to create the same scent that Trumpers does with a precise chisel. 13rd April, 2011. |
| bokaba United StatesShow all reviews | I'm just now starting to get interested in fougeres having concentrated almost exclusively on traditional eau de colognes as floral soliflores. I find this is the better of the fern scents from the Three "T"s. It is drier and more earthy than Penhaligon's and much better parades the fern note. Penhaligons is sweeter and more citric. The base is a nice sandalwood and earthy fern. Not too bad, but not near the quality of Crown Fougere or the rare Fougere Royale. 25th February, 2011. |
| MHV CanadaShow all reviews | Based on my Perfume Oil sample of Fougère Royale, which I got from The Perfumed Court, the closest thing to this FR is in fact the humble Fougère soap by Roger & Gallet. It appears to be discontinued, but stashes hither and thither still remains. 4th February, 2011. |
