by Slumberhouse
Fjerne by Slumberhouse is a soft, comforting fragrance that blends sweet gourmand notes with dry, woody depth. It opens with a creamy, slightly milky touch—like toasted coconut and wheat—tempered by a subtle dusty-powdered tone reminiscent of fresh flour or natural sandalwood. The heart reveals a delicate balance of vanilla, tonka, and caramel-like sweetness without becoming cloying, while undercurrents of green, coniferous wood and a hint of incense give it a subtle ethereal quality. The dry-down deepens into a tactile, balsamic sandalwood-amber base with a lightly animalic, musky warmth, layered with light patchouli and a fleeting hint of beeswax or linen. Though restrained in sillage and somewhat modest in projection, its longevity is genuinely impressive, often lingering for hours with a soft, intimate presence. Worn almost universally, it feels unmistakably tied to its brand's aesthetic yet stands apart—more wearable, more accessible, and less intense than other Slumberhouse offerings. It evokes a farmhouse kitchen, a sun-drenched library, or a quiet apothecary shrouded in wind and dry herbs.
