FERSEN

Fersen is the unisex eau de parfum by Les Folies du Parfum, the Verona maison that dedicates its fragrances to mad souls living outside the rules. It is an aromatic marine scent, fresh and spicy at once, capturing the essence of an era and a place: Capri and its most legendary villa.

The Fragrance

Fersen is dedicated to Baron Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen and to Villa Lysis, the home he had built on the cliffs of Capri in the early twentieth century: a refuge of beauty, mystery and freedom, far from the conventions of his time. The maison describes it as a journey into the soul of a man who had found his lost paradise on the island, and the perfume follows the arc of a day on the cliffs, from the morning sun to evenings in the villa's salon. It belongs to the Classic Collection, is made in Italy and comes in the hand-crafted glass bottle with magnetic cap, in a wooden box.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is bright and vibrant: Calabrian bergamot meets black pepper, salt and saffron, like the crisp air of a morning by the sea. The heart is a floral breeze: marine notes intertwine with white flowers, verbena and ginger, fresh and slightly piquant. The base warms slowly: musk, mate, vanilla and light woods wrap the skin with an oriental softness that keeps talking to the initial freshness right to the end.

Who We Recommend Fersen To

We recommend Fersen to those who love marine perfumes but want them richer and spicier, with a warm base that makes them suitable for evenings too. It is perfect for spring and summer, for holidays and for the days when you want to carry a bit of the Mediterranean with you. Unisex, it appeals to anyone looking for an elegant freshness with a story.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Fersen is the marine scent we hand to people asking for "something fresh but not ordinary": it opens like a sunny day and ends like a summer evening, and that transition makes it far more interesting than the usual aquatics. Anyone who loves Capri recognises it at once.

FAQ
