Geo. F. Trumper Wild Fern Cologne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1877. Wild Fern Cologne opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Lavender, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Geranium, Carnation, and Fern, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Geo. F. Trumper's Wild Fern Cologne carries a Statement verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive classic that's either a historical masterpiece of green fougères or a dated, pungent bathroom cleaner. It's an acquired taste, for sure - not one for the faint-hearted modern nose.

About

Wild Fern Cologne opens with a sharp, herbal blast of lavender, basil, and rosemary, brightened by citrus. The heart introduces a classic barbershop geranium and the earthy, slightly damp aroma of fern. It settles into a mossy, woody base of oakmoss, patchouli, and sandalwood, with a touch of musk, evoking a walk through a wild, ancient forest floor.
