About Helena Rubinstein Wood Fern
Helena Rubinstein is the house behind Wood Fern.
Wood Fern through the year
The best time of year to wear it is fall and spring. It is less suited to winter. Ranked by season: fall, spring, summer and winter. If you need something for winter, Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere unisex is a better fit. Its fresh smell feels good on warm days.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is woody (100%), followed by citrus and green. You will probably like it if you enjoy woody and citrus smells and notes like cactus flower and cedar. Less obvious notes include mandarin orange, labdanum and musk.
For work or for evenings
