Two compass roses designed for Ffern, a small batch, limited edition, organic perfume company based in Somerset. There are four perfumes each year which are released on the date of the Summer and Winter solstices and equinoxes.
Solstices give us the longest day or the longest night on 21st of June and December respectively. Equinoxes have a daytime and nighttime that are approximately equal in length and occur around the 21st of March and September. The compass roses incorporate Summer and Winter themes for the Solstice design and Autumn and Spring themes for the Equinox design.
They appear on the Ffern website and were part of their online marketing, as gift cards and for charity prints. Adapted designs have been used for packaging of scented candles.
