A Full-Plant Fig Perfume
Henri Bendel WILD FIG edp is a full-bodied, complete plant fig fragrance. I believe that the edt has now been discontinued, but my roller ball contains the edp, which is still being offered in the attractive bottle of this line with the blue cap pictured above.
I say that this is a "full plant" fig fragrance because it smells simultaneously fruity and woody and green. To my nose, the wood is the most dominant component, but this is a nice blend of all three elements and completely unisex. I do not find WILD FIG to be very sweet, although vanilla is listed as a note. There is definitely no vanilla scent to this creation as far as I can detect. There is the tiniest bit of Playdoh effect here, but nothing compared to Christian Celle FIG or the other dough-like fig perfumes I've tried.
Henri Bendel has produced another fine, relatively inexpensive and somewhat trendy perfume with WILD FIG. I am quite sure that fig aficionados would dig this and be happy about the reasonable price tag, relative to high-end niche perfumes of this type.
