The scent
Forgotten Ferns & Oak Fragrance Oil invites you on a tranquil walk through an ancient woodland after the rain. Lush green ferns glisten with life, brightened by gentle citrus sparks, while airy florals and cypress lend a soft, natural freshness. As the scent deepens, smooth oak, cedarwood, and patchouli create an earthy, grounding base, enriched with subtle, skin-like musks. Evocative and serene, this fragrance perfectly captures the essence of the great outdoors — ideal for autumn and winter collections, Father’s Day gifts, or year-round nature-inspired home fragrances.

Can I use Forgotten Ferns & Oak in an electric diffuser or oil burner?
Yes.
- Electric water diffusers (ultrasonic or humidifier style) – fill the tank with water to the line, then add 3–5 drops per 100ml of water. Start low and add more to taste.
- Oil burners – mix 50/50 with dipropylene glycol (DPG), or add a few drops to water in the well.
Important – look after your diffuser:
- Fragrance oils are concentrated, and some plastics used in diffuser tanks can soften, cloud or crack if oil is left sitting in them. This depends on the plastic the diffuser is made from. It happens with any concentrated fragrance or essential oil, not just ours.
- Empty the tank when you’ve finished. Don’t leave water and oil sitting in it between uses.
- Rinse and wipe the tank every few uses, as fragrance oils can leave a film.
- Check your diffuser’s instructions to make sure it is suitable for fragrance oils. If it says essential oils only, or doesn’t say, ask the maker before using it.
How do I use the 100ml bottles?
They include a blind plug to prevent leaks in transit. Either pierce the centre with a pin or biro to use it as a dropper, or remove the stopper, pour, and replace the plug.
