Lovely fruity, sweet fig without the usual green and sort-of plasticky/resinous scent I get from most fig fragrances. Might be the fact that this is nectar rather than pure figs. The fig is very strong, overshadowing the citrus fruits that are at the top. I still get a sweet, tangy and fruity vibe, but it's pretty subtle and I only know about it since I have been looking at the notes (and have smelled other Acqua di Parma so my nose knows what to smell for). There's a subtle spiciness coming from the pepper, but it's pretty soft, sweet and fresh compared to the other Acqua di Parma I've tested out. Drydown remains fresh, but a lovely fruity woodiness comes up. The drydown is soft and clean, like after getting out of the showwer. Overall, the notes are pretty tame compared to the fig nectar that remains the star throughout most of the fragrance.
Once again, Acqua di Parma has it down to a T when it comes to citrusy, woody and fresh perfumes. The only problem, and it's a major one, is the performance. Very weak, abyssmal even. It becomes a skin-scent after only a few minutes. It does live on your skin and makes your skin feel clean and washed up, but other than that, it doesn't really act like a perfume (imho). The pricepoint isn't worth it in my opinion and there are better freshies out there at a cheaper price.
