The Mediterranean

If you've travelled in the Mediterranean (Greek islands, Cyprus), if you know how fig leaves smell and can appreciate this association, you'll like it.

It's a pleasant summer scent. It's stylish, cool.

But for my taste, however, the note of sweet melon is too strong and I wish that fig was even more prominent.

Absolutely repulsive mix of creamy, green, spicy and medicinal

I've had my fair share of perfumes I've disliked over the years I've invested in this hobby, but nothing I've had to scrub off my skin per se. Well this has changed with this one. I was able to leave it on my skin for 10 minutes before immediately going to the bathroom and trying to scrub it off. That's how bad my experience was with it.

The beginning is a flagrant green hue of deep green leaves. I can applaud the perfumer for making this a pretty photorealistic note of greenery (almost dirty green). There's also some type of creaminess that mingles in with the green leaf note. I wasn't a fan of it, but at that point, I was ready to leave it on my skin and see where it'd go. That's when things took a turn for the worst. There's a medicinal / plasticky / synthetic / woody note that rose up and started altering the scent. When I brought my wrist to my nose I had to clench my teeth when trying to sniff it. That's how repulsive it was. Even now, I have a lot of difficulties putting into words what the scent smelled like. I'm absolutely floored as to what happened here. I usually love white tea, sandalwood and musks. I'm a bit more unfamiliar with figs, but I've smelled it in some perfume. So is it the galbanum? The green leaf? I'm still not sure. Even after scrubbing it off, there was a remanent waft of that atrocious note that wrecked everything. I could also smell the fig note trying to peak out from underneath with a fruity, spicy undertone.

I've got to say... Maybe it's that creamy, green and fruity / spicy mix that turned me off. Maybe it's the galbanum. Or the green leaf note. I'm still not sure. What I do know is I'm glad I got to try it out with a decant. From the bottle, the perfume seemed fine, but on my skin, it's a completely different story. Do not blind-buy this perfume.

Wrapped in leaves

For me, the fragrance perfectly captures my idea of tart, not too sweet leaves that have been freshly plucked or crushed. Fig is slightly perceptible, but for me the fresh, tart green leaves dominate.
It becomes somewhat milder as it progresses, but other notes do not stand out to my nose. Athenean keeps the promise of its first impression.

This can be a spectacular fragrance for those who want to be at home in a fresh pile of leaves. For me, it is.
