Although I think it's fair to expect a fragrance review to be as formally objective and specific as possible, there are times when the evocative nature of scent so overpowers us that we are pushed into the subjective. I wanted to like "Wild Fern," just as I wanted to like Penhaligon's "English Fern," but both are a challenge. This one especially is too reminiscent of certain fathers of another time--very clean, spicier than the more intensely green Penhaligon's, but ultimately a barbershop cliché. That quality can hold a retro appeal for some, and in fact I can imagine this being charming for a teen or young 20-something. But for me it evokes dark memories.

In the battle between English Fern by Penhaligon and Wild Fern by Geo. T., I finally and reluctantly decided on the Trumper, although it was close. I love the smell of fern in a man's fragrance, it is so fresh and unique. Department store colognes DO NOT include this scent. The problem is that neither of these lasts very long. Still they are terrific, and in this race, it's the sweet, natural smelling Trumper's Wild Fern by a nose.
