Citron Fig Clean 2016

... because it's cowardly :)))

Jokes aside, "Citron Fig" by Reserve is one of the better fig scents I've ever encountered. It's comparable to Heeley's "Menthe Fraiche," just a bit more figgy. Quite pretty, pure, summery, fresh - and this comes from someone who usually avoids and doesn't like figs in fragrances. So, anyone who is fond of figs and appreciates their green fuzziness will likely bounce with joy here.

"Citron Fig" combines the best attributes of its two namesakes and adds an exquisite mint leaf. And that's what makes the difference. Sometimes it's the little things. The fig is clearly noticeable, yet this time it's transparent and pleasant. The lemon is of high quality and makes the scent a refrigerator tip. Musk serves as the adhesive and dispersing agent as always, and with a minimal woodiness, it wraps up a thoroughly excellent scent experience a bit prematurely. The fragrance plays above its price range in quality.

Bottle: fits well with such a clean person.
Sillage: hardly makes an appearance - even in heat.
Longevity: 4-5 hours play in its weight class.

Conclusion: Lemon and fig - the name already says enough. And yet, I am shocked at how fine and elegant this summer refresher feels. Definitely a highlight in the Clean catalog. A secret tip for any hot summer day.
