Statement

Our Verdict - Sleight of Fern

This modern fougère is a divisive one. Some find it a 'modern gem' with a captivating blend of classic and contemporary, while others are put off by medicinal or pickle-like notes. Definitely sample before you commit.

Best For:

Formal

Date

This classic chypre's powerful sillage and complex character suit formal events and evening wear best. Its bold projection and vintage style can be polarizing in the office or casual settings.
