Flawed Fern: Sarah McCartney’s Quirky Fougère for 4160 Tuesdays
Sarah McCartney has created Flawed Fern, the latest aromatic fougère from 4160 Tuesdays, released in 2026. Designed for both men and women, it offers a fresh, softly spiced take on the classic fern theme.
The perfume’s name hints at an imperfect fern, and indeed the composition embraces the unconventional: bergamot, lavender, coumarin, oakmoss, kumquat, fennel, basil and fern.
4160 Tuesdays, the London-based perfume house known for its storytelling approach, has a winner with Flawed Fern. Sarah McCartney, the brand’s founder and nose, has taken the familiar aromatic fougère blueprint and turned it on its head with a playful selection of notes.
Traditional fougère elements such as lavender and oakmoss are present, but the addition of kumquat, fennel and basil gives the fragrance a zesty, herbaceous and slightly aniseed character. It’s a combination that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
The scent profile is aromatic, fresh and mildly spicy, with citrus, woody and mossy facets. Coumarin lends a soft, vanillic smoothness that tempers the green sharpness of the fern and basil.
Flawed Fern is surprisingly easy to wear. It has enough freshness for daytime, but the subtle spice and mossy base make it suitable for more formal or evening occasions. It feels most at home in spring and early autumn.
For those who find many modern fougères too safe, Flawed Fern is a welcome alternative. It’s a fragrance that wears its imperfections proudly, and that’s exactly what makes it so appealing.
Those who enjoy classic fougères with a twist, plus fans of green, fresh, gently spiced fragrances.
Flawed Fern proves that a fougère can still surprise. Sarah McCartney has crafted a scent that is both charmingly imperfect and utterly compelling.
