Fathom V is absolutely the worst example of non-perfume. It is not earthy (I expected the smell of earth) but it is a bad, bad floral. Lily, Mimosa, jasmine kill all the other notes. OLFACTORY KILLER!
One of the worst fragrances ever tried.

In July it was in Rhodes, which is far from being the greenest of the Greek islands, and there is no humid green-woody aroma in the air. In the mountains, there are mostly pine treet, rather than cypresses, as on many other islands. And in towns of course, citrus trees (which, unfortunately had already flowered but not yet ripened), figs, jasmin grandiflorum, oleander, eucalyptus and acacias. Fields with withered grass and small bushes and lone, wonky cypresses. Aromatic lavender, basil and thyme in clay pots in front of tavernas. Cool damp air and whiffs of incense in small chapels and monasteries. And everpresent smell of the warm salty sea…
I took a sample of Beaufort London Fathon V with me and I was amazed how surprisingly accurately this perfume fit into the island environment. With such notes as juniper, mandarin, thyme, jasmine and an earth accord; and the base, which includes cedar, salty notes, oak moss and incense, this fragrance for me was a spot on embodiment of Rhodes.

“The Shape Of Water,” bottled.
As another reviewer mentioned, living with this might be challenging, especially on a regular basis. But what an amazing composition. Simultaneously gothic, fresh, watery and earthy.
You want true niche? Fathom V has got you covered.
seceZooxHaics – :
I admire this fragrance a lot more than I actually like it, if that makes any sense. Fathom V is a really novel take on the aquatic genre and far more adventurous than most of its brethren. It contrasts saline and floral notes with earthy spices and and the suggestion of woodiness. It’s one part murky ocean, one part spice rack, and one part florist’s workshop. Fathom V really is a fragrance that explores the contrasts between light and dark. Which all sounds really attractive, but I find it very difficult to wear.
None of the previous reviewers mention the prominent cumin note. I generally do not have an issue with cumin notes – since they often add a certain piquancy to fragrances and can give additional nuance to woody base notes. But here, I find the combination of the cumin note and the juniper to be really jarring. Upon initial application, the fragrance’s green notes are dominant, with the spiciness somewhat concealed. But as the fragrance transitions from aquatic to earthy, the cumin and juniper become much more pronounced – to a point that feels uncomfortable. This is a dilemma though, since removing these notes would leave the fragrance without its spicy backbone.
I think everyone should try this. It’s unique and surprising. But it’s also challenging and I can’t seem to decide whether it’s genius or madness.

On this nondescript Sunday I browsed my stash of samples to find this, sent my way by a kind BN friend. I knew about Beaufort being a London based brand, but this was my first experience. Fathom V (strange name) starts off with dewy-grassy greens and florals on my skin, fresh and uplifting. Lily is the star flower, together with the greens, but then, after about a couple of hours, the greens calm down a little to reveal some musky-aquatic notes, lightly salted. This shapes the development and leads to the concluding dry down accord of Fathom V, as it becomes soft, fuzzy but perceptible. It exhibits an understated but persistent sillage – almost forming a hazy fragrant cloud about my skin which is quietly enjoyable.
I was initially prepared to write off Fathom V (again, strange name) as a decent but unremarkable green floral scent, but the dry down has moved me. It is more of a floral-green-aquatic rather than floral-aquatic, and the aquatic notes are very well done, not like calone at all but more salty, fresh and ethereal. I love how they are intertwined and together create a lush and sensuous dry down. It is less bright than Lys Mediterranee, and the lily is less striking next to Lys Fume and Une Lys. However, I feel this adds to the composition rather than being a detraction, as the balance is beautiful in the end.
3.5/5

Nobody get that almost deafening sharp cool smell? Am I hallucinating?
Only after the white cold blast of galbanum-like scent, the green lily secretly raises its head.

Truly a summers day in a bottle . Summer at the countryside fields of wild flowers green grass soil and sun . The green note bit like Narcisus and muscari steams , strong springlike and abit sharp . I realy cant pick the notes apart in this perfume . it smells ike a bouquet of feshly picked Narcissus and Muscari armeniacum (grape hyasinth) It reminds me abit of Vent Verte Balmain with the clear green start . There is a calming terapautic feal to this . For thouse days you nead to keep your head calm and grounded perhaps . Beautiful and different
karen76 – :
it’s quite an unusual and unique smell I must say, even after many years testing fragrances. so high five on there from me. The only fragrance that smelled this green was Neon Grafitti from Jazmin Sarai.
Not sure how wearable it is or whether it gets compliments at all… it smells like damp woods in summer 🙂 more like an aromatherapy experience to me.

Amazing. Earthy green lily. Smells like freshly cut flowers, grass, and earth.

اين تصويرهاي ذهني را براي تداعي و تجسم رايحه ي اين عطر مرور كنيد:
١) براي خريد دسته گلي تازه به گلفروشي مي رويد
٢) ديگران براي خريد دسته گلي تازه براي شما به گلفروشي مي روند
٣) در هر يك از دو فرضِ بالا، گلها را داخل گلدان پر آبي قرار مي دهيد
٤) قاعدتا هر چند روز يكبار آبِ گلدان را عوض مي كنيد تا گلهاي تازه ديرتر پژمرده شود و لطافت و رطوبت آن نيز حفظ شود
٥) اما اشتباه نكنيد! اين عطر بوي گل يا فضاي گلفروشي نمي دهد
٦) اين عطر دقيقا بوي آبِ تعويض نشده ي گلداني را مي دهد كه از بس عوض نشده بو گرفته و باعث پژمردگي و خشكيدگي گلها شده
٧) اگر از چنين بويي لذت مي بريد در خريد اين عطر درنگ نكنيد!
با سپاس

Fathom V has a very harsh and synthetic green opening that lasts for about 20 minutes. After this initial opening FV becomes a flower bomb. I get nothing but very heavy floral scent and it smells like I work in a flower shop. After a couple of hours hanging out in the flower shop a large ocean tidal wave comes crashing down through the walls and roof of the flower shop adding a salty brine to the floral barrage. This adds a murkiness to the flower bomb as the flower shop quickly takes on more and more sea water. Over the next few hours the water fills the shop and then begins to drain, dragging me out to sea.
I find this one to be much more feminine than masculine and I would love to smell this on a woman, but the very heavy floral makes it a pass for me.
It is a well blended scent with good projection and longevity on my skin.
Bottom line: If you enjoy floral and are looking for something a bit unique, this one is worth trying a sample.

The storm by edvard munch 1893
vlad87 – :
Fathom V is stirringly beautiful. This fortifying fragrance opens with watery, stemmy greens; crisp, almost metallic like bitter celery leaves.
As the tide starts to flow, rich minerals are overturned; peppery, leathery herbs take root; a toxic juniper wood sap begins to ooze forth.
A dense fog rolls in, shaded with cold, grey salt and full of static that is subtly infused with tannin and clarifying menthol. The sweetness of the floral air is a soft, yet masculine beckon of a merman to the siren of D.S. & Durga’s Peacock Lily. He calls her with a deep, melodious, penetrating timbre.
*Congratulations to you below stonecabin. I think this will be a beautiful wedding scent*

I have a sample of fathom. I wasn’t too sure about it initially, it had such a strong, green opening with the already mentioned iris to the fore. I did find myself constantly sniffing my wrist as it dried down though. It seemed to sweeten slightly and spicy notes seemed to develope somewhat. Wether I knew what to expect the second time I applied it I can’t say, it still had that strong, almost stark opening. But it just smelt so good. I would say this is quite a unique scent. It actually lasts on my skin for eight to ten hours which is unusual. It also projects well, leaving a noticeable trail too, which seldom happens with me! I will be buying a bottle of this masterpiece very soon. I have been searching for a scent for my upcoming wedding. I think this may be it!

This smells like the seashore after a storm, fresh, woody, green. Got a sample a few weeks ago, bought a full bottle today. Love it.
beka766 – :
A superb carefully constructed sea grass accord. Herbaceous and sharp it is made from sea salt, lily, thyme, vetiver and frankincense. Complex.
Fathom V formula explores the idea of ’sea-change’ and the constant tidal flux of the sea with the overdosed use of contrasting materials: salt and earth, fragrant herbs and mosses, pleasant floral notes and intense dark spices encompassing and outlining the push and pull of the oceanic torrents.
Масян – :
First fragrances I sampled from this English house and I have been impacted by the aroma, also impacted because the perfumer has run a lot risk in making the composition and when this happens two things can happen:
The first is to make a masterpiece and the second to exceed you using essences and do something interesting without further ado.
With Fathom V we are in the second case.
The aroma that feels quite linear opens with a very green, very fresh, very synthetic and full of aldehyde notes, smells like leathery and soapy grass with a bottom as rotten point.
At the exit you can clearly see the use of acetophenone which has a very specific odor like the classic cream to clean the shoes and gives that mentolated, leathery and astringent appearance that saturates the nostrils at first smell, for me the result is A green, emphasizing “green” with nuances of industrial leather.
All this combo is contrasted with the strength and energy of the floral note of the lily, white, clean, immaculate and with crisp green and aquatic facets, and that it joins to this rupturista lot, without complexes and “rare” of apocalyptic aroma industrial.
It finishes a drying with a woody background musky that adds nuances and some complexity giving an extravagant, powerful, striking result of science fiction, but without that “punch” that has to have a good fragrance.
Very rare, like a B-series movie, and although the fragrance is well made, it’s too much for me.
Rating: 5

This is just so weird. Astonishing. The opening is unlike anything I’ve ever smelled as a fragrance before. I don’t know if I get the earth notes. Perhaps there is juniper there, or some other spices but in a herbal not dried/spicy format.
The floral part is overwhelmingly lily, a green lily. Every thing is actually both very green and slightly rotten and salty too.
I keep smelling it through I’m not yet sure if I want to smell of it. But certainly interesting.
Later: No. I don’t like it on me. Fairly linear and not much respite from that nearly-acrid green.

Lilies and other green notes, clean and crispy. Smells like flower shop. Really great longevity and sillage. For strong personalities.

Ваким – :
Lilies. Lots of them. LOTS of them. For a long time. I don’t get Sea from this, wet wood maybe, mossy. And lilies, so much lilies. Not sweet ones, green sappy ones. That said, I think I like it. I’m a man, and I’m not convinced how manly it is. But it’s weird and cool and smells so unlike a ‘perfume’ as to be unisex. And did I mention that it smells of lilies?
setdubovik2011 – :
Lady here: I have tried to like this perfume. But I cannot. The opening is strong- very overwhelming. I would say it is more masculine.
The imagery I get from smelling this perfume is waxworks scene trying to portray a dark story set in a port from the XVIIIth century. I don’t know why I have that specific image in my head when I smell it but I do. I guess it is the salty oakmoss with the soil mixed in together that portrays that scene in my head. I would not say this is easy to wear. But an interesting perfume to smell.

Intriguing, initial impressions: a wow opening, settling into…some…thing…I really don’t know…dirty juniper berries, Batman…so far, I dig it, possibly the freshest of the line, but you know, fresh on a hot tin roof, fresh unprocessed, fresh prince of Bellevue. Deep, wet countryside green, without fir. At times have loved, disliked, and felt meh in the drydown, about it. Definitely need more time exploring this one.
Update, three months later: Tested every know and then, thinking that I like it, but did I need it, it could be too much, too linear? Etc…But no, just sprayed, and it is a f-ing awesome bomb. A tonic. Mortal Kombat special move.

على العكس تماما من العطر الناري الدخاني الملتهب شديد القوة والعتامة وكأنه يعبر عنه وطيس حرب ضروس “Vi Et Armi”
أصدرت دار بوفورت لندن هذا العام 2016م عطرا مغايرا بالكلية
ألا وهو “Fathom V” والذي يمكن ببساطة تسميته بعطر الحياة
فهو يعبر ببساطة وعبقرية عن نبض الحياة في أوج نضارتها
عطر ينقلك ببراعة من مكانك وزمانك وحالتك أيا ما كانت إلى حالة من الاسترخاء وسط مروج خضراء مبللة بقطرات الندى
البداية مع توت العرعر المنعش الذي تشبه رائحته رائحة السرو الخضراء
والكشمش الأسود الحار والذي أحمد الله أنه ليس مكثفا وإلا لأصبح العطر مغرق في الفاكهية التي لا أميل إليها
ثم يأتي Earth Tincture برائتحة التشيبيرية كرائحة تربة الأرض في الحدائق والمزارع لتقضي على النزعة الفاكهية في السيطرة على العطر وسيكون للدفع باليوسفي والنوتة الخضراء اثر كبير في انجاح هذه المهمة
ويخرج العطر من افتتاحية مكسيا بعبق عشبي ندي مغلف بلمحات إرثية ترابية رطبة.
قلب العطر سيكون مع تدخل الزعتر ذو الميول الجلدية الحارة لتكريس الإحساس بالوجود في طقس مشمس صحو ولإضفاء مزيد من الشعور بالحياة والحركة.
ثم يأتي الثلاثي العبقري “الزنابق – الياسمين – الايلانج” وهذه أعتبرها نقطة اكتمال ونضوج العطر، وربما هي السر وراء ابتسامة كل من سيستنشق عبق هذا العطر.
النوتة الاسبايسية من “الفلفل والكمون والزنجبيل” خافتة ومقبولة للغاية بل هناك من قد لا يلحظ وجودها.
ثم يأتي هذا الوحش الإرثي “طحلب السنديان” المكثف ليدعم من الشعور بالوجود في طبيعة خضراء مفتوحة وليعطي العطر لمسات تشيبرية كلاسيكية رائعة ولكن دون الشعور برائحة العطن التي قد ينفر منها الكثيرون
الفيتيفير والعنبر وخشب الأرز والباتشولي والبخور في القاعدة هم مكمل كلاسيكي قوي لعطر عصري مفعم بالحياة.
العطر ببساطة هو عطر يعبر عن الطبيعة الخضراء بشكل عصري في قالب كلاسيكي شديد الاتزان والحبكة.
جمال العطر والنقاء: 9/10
الثبات والفوحان: جيدان 8/10
التقييم العام: 8.5/10
