Imbolc is a unisex fragrance by Ffern, launched in 2026.
This eau de parfum belongs to the Permanent collection and was created for those who appreciate expressive compositions with a natural feel and a distinctive character.
Ffern was founded in the United Kingdom in 2018 and offered its own take on niche perfumery: seasonal fragrances shaped by mood, the rhythm of nature and the feeling of the moment.
Imbolc continues this philosophy, combining fresh citrus energy, spicy greenery and a deep woody-mossy base.
The composition was created by perfumer Elodie Durande.
Her work is built around contrast: the sparkling opening gradually becomes more herbal and spicy before evolving into a dry, resinous and woody drydown.
At first, Imbolc feels fresh and vibrant, thanks to citrus nuances and cool peppermint.
In the heart, the fragrance gains green depth: basil, lavender and marjoram meet cardamom, clove, mimosa and sambac jasmine, creating a full-bodied spicy-aromatic accord.
The finale unfolds with particular depth.
Oakmoss, patchouli, red cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, seaweed and fir balsam form a dense woody-mossy trail with a cool natural character.
In character, Imbolc belongs to the fougère, spicy and woody fragrance families.
Its olfactory profile combines aromatic, balsamic, citrus, green, floral, white-floral and earthy nuances, making the composition feel layered and allowing it to evolve beautifully throughout the day.
The fragrance is presented as unisex and may appeal to both women and men who prefer fresh, herbal and confident compositions over sweet ones.
Its very strong sillage makes Imbolc a striking choice for cool weather, open spaces and occasions when you want to leave an expressive impression.
On the skin, the fragrance is especially suited to autumn, winter and early spring, when its mossy, woody and coniferous-balsamic nuances feel fuller.
It is suitable for walks, trips, business meetings and evening outings when an outfit calls for a composed, intellectual and slightly wild note.
The exact amount of Imbolc recommended for skin and clothing is not specified in the available information, so the optimal number of sprays is best determined individually, taking its high longevity and very strong sillage into account.
Other concentrations of this fragrance are also not listed in the available information.
Those drawn to classic freshness and a green-woody direction should take a closer look at Dior Eau Sauvage.
Geoffrey Beene Bowling Green and Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme (2010) may also serve as useful references, although Imbolc stands apart from them with its more pronounced mossy, spicy and coniferous depth.
In the context of Ffern, this release demonstrates how modern niche perfumery can work with recognizable fougère codes without turning them into dry classics.
Imbolc retains freshness and versatility, but its rich base gives it a bold, textured and memorable character.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes unfold with bergamot, lemon, orange and peppermint, creating a bright citrus-green opening.
The heart of the composition features basil, cardamom, clove, sambac jasmine, lavender, marjoram and mimosa.
This accord combines spicy freshness, expressive herbal notes and a soft floral nuance.
The base is built around oakmoss, patchouli, red cedar, sandalwood, seaweed, fir balsam and vetiver.
As a result, the fragrance takes on a woody, mossy and resinous character with a cool, natural nuance. The complete composition belongs to the fougère, spicy and woody fragrance families.
