Ffern Samhain is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Elodie Durande. Samhain opens with Lemon, Orange, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Bergamot, Neroli, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Davana, Vetiver, Jasmine, and Iris. Ffern's Samhain carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Samhain is a tricky one. It aims for earthy elegance but the powdery iris and unexpected carrot twist can be polarising. You'll either get its autumnal charm or you'll be left scratching your head.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on iris, white floral and powdery - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and unique, somewhat contemplative character make it suitable for casual wear or an office environment where you want to stand out but not overwhelm. It’s a bit too quirky for truly formal events and definitely not for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright citrus zest of lemon and mandarin, quickly cut by the sharp, almost peppery kick of petitgrain. Then things get really interesting: a dusty, rooty iris-carrot accord takes centre stage, softened by hints of rose and powdery violet leaf. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver, sweet tonka, and a resinous benzoin, keeping things grounded and slightly woody with a whisper of juniper.
