Fleur de Figuier Chabaud

Fleur de Figuier opens with a moderately sweet lush fruity fig with an almond-like aroma. As the composition transitions to its early heart the relatively sweet aromatic fruity fig remains, adding a very slight dirty peach undertone to the mix. In the latter mid-section things remain quite linear but the sweetness level wanes and the composition gradually incorporates a green tinge to the fruity fig. During the late dry-down the fig gives way to a stark cedar woody finish. Projection is average and longevity excellent at about 12 hours on skin.

Fleur de Figuier is a pretty easy composition to like. It is pleasant smelling, easy to wear and showcases some very smooth transitions. No, you are not going to find any innovation to speak of as the composition is pretty classically structured and relatively safe, but there is just enough of a slightly dirty undertone resembling aromatic peach to keep things interesting. What can I say...? I like it. The bottom line is Fleur de Figuier while a tad safe and linear is a fine easy to wear presentation of fruity fig, earning a "very good" 3.5 stars out of 5 rating. Recommended.
