BeauFort London Fathom V is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Fathom V opens with Soil Tincture, Green, Juniper, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Lily, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Salt, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. BeauFort London's Fathom V carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive, challenging, and utterly unique, Fathom V is a 'love it or hate it' scent that conjures vivid, often dark, imagery. It's a photorealistic journey into damp earth and decaying florals, perfectly capturing the melancholy of a rain-soaked cemetery or the intense green of a florist's cold room.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and remarkable longevity, Fathom V isn't one for the office unless applied with an extremely light hand. It's too evocative and unique for most formal settings, leaning more towards casual wear or niche events. The scent profile, particularly the 'wet earth' and 'funeral flowers' vibe, makes it less suited for an intimate date, unless your date shares your appreciation for the avant-garde.

About

Fathom V opens with a blast of green notes, blackcurrant, and a prominent soil tincture that quickly settles into a bouquet of wet, waxy lilies and jasmine. The heart reveals hints of spicy pepper and earthy cumin, while the base grounds the composition with vetiver, salty oakmoss, and a whisper of incense. It evokes the uncanny realism of a hyper-green, earthy floral. It’s distinctly cold, damp, and powerfully naturalistic, like burying your nose in a funeral wreath on a cold, wet day.
