Too Cowardly for a Fig

Philosykos.

Great theme in itself. Green, creamy, fig.

Unfortunately, one melody is not enough for a good song in this case. It's too creamy for me, neither enough fig nor enough green.

I understand why people like it, but on me it creates uncertainty about what I want to say by smelling like this.

Doesn't last, hardly any sillage, and still a niche price.

Preferable: profumum roma - Ichnusa, for those who like the herbal-fresh aspect, or The Zoo - fig my love, for those who love fig and nothing else. Both have significantly more depth and are also more valuable as a "statement."

Your review hits the nail on the head.
Anyone who likes creamy, sweet fig should give it a try.
I feel like it needs a contrasting note to balance out the sweetness and make the scent more interesting.
For me, it's only close to the skin.
Funny, my first association: hay... that's what it smelled like in my grandparents' hayloft. Then the fig comes through.
