All about this fragrance

Vibe check

A brisk afternoon gathering where polished manners give way to irreverent conversation. Aromatic spice keeps the opening alert, while powdery incense and earthy woods bring a slightly dishevelled richness—the scent equivalent of good tailoring worn without much reverence for convention.

How to wear

Try it in mild to cool weather, when the contrast between aromatic freshness and rich woods has room to unfold. Start with one or two sprays on the chest or neck for a measured presence; warmer skin should draw out the spicy, woody side without requiring heavier application.

Who it’s for

For those who enjoy aromatic woods with spice, powder and an earthy edge rather than overt sweetness. Its combination of geranium, frankincense and sandalwood suits a taste for traditional fragrance textures with a less conventional attitude.

Plowden & Fallow’s story

Plowden & Fallow interprets British traditions, folklore and eccentricity through contemporary, unisex fragrance. Its emphasis is on small-batch UK production, carefully considered ingredients and packaging, and a practical approach to reducing transport miles and using sustainable components.

Squire Jack’s concept

Squire Jack takes its name and creative premise from John “Mad Jack” Mytton, the extravagant Shropshire eccentric associated with Halston Hall. His appetite for excess and unconventional behaviour becomes a contrast of opulent woods and darker, earthy undertones: a fragrant portrait of mischief shadowed by society’s disapproval.

Extra info

The official note chart includes orris in the heart and oakmoss, vetiver and cedar in the base, adding detail beyond its headline spices and sandalwood. The brand’s historical inspiration article references Nimrod, the pen name of Charles James Apperley, and his memoir of John Mytton.
