After leaving the N2 highway in the heart of South Africa's stunningly beautiful Garden Route, and driving through some 7km of plantations to The Fernery, you immediately get the feeling that something special awaits you. The feeling is enhanced by the wonderful smells of plantation pines, the abundance of ferns carpeting the plantation floor, the ancient indigenous Tsitsikamma forest, a riot of fynbos and a soft mistiness coming off the Indian Ocean, all combining into a magnificent natural scent that no Parisian perfume can ever hope to emulate.
