Seize the day

Contemporary interpretations of the fig never really did it for me. Too coconutty, too cardamommy, too iso-e-superish. I started to avoid perfumes that listed fig. It was only after I tried Premier Figuier that I realized it was not the fig note that I disliked, it was all that creative mishmash that others put around it, blurring the actual scent.

Premier Figuier stays true to nature: a fig tree from head to toe. In all its simplicity, it offers a moment of pure relaxation. Great weather, great mood, great day, you know the vibe. Ideal for those pre-summer sunny days or perhaps even the hot summer evenings. Yeah, I can picture myself drinking cocktails at a rooftop bar wearing this. Oh dear, I almost forgot I am a total abstainer there. One day at a time.

Anyways, bottom line, sometimes simpler is better. I am glad I tried it. Now I like the fig.

Under a Fig Tree with a Cool Coconut Water

Premier Figuier starts off very herbaceous, fresh and dry with a slight nutty woody note. The sillage is approximately 1 meter(3.28 ft.) and this is a lovely unisex fragrance that I wouldn't mind smelling everyday. It conspires to invigorate the wearer and to conjure up a feeling of hope and new beginnings- this must be an attribute of the lime note providing a tangy twist to the fig leaf. It also has a calming core of sandalwood, almond milk and coconut (unsweetened) which provides and smooth intriguing dry down, while not getting too "In Your Face" with it's gourmandness. This fragrance is note a sweet fruity scent, nor does one really get the fleshy meaty part of the fig itself from this creation. But rather, the experience of sitting in the late afternoon shade under a fig tree branch, inhaling deeply and feeling truly content with one's surroundings. The tail end of this fragrance on my skin becomes even woodier and slightly powdery musky (but not a particularly dark and animalic musk) more of a faint subtle soft powdery effect. I keep going back to this sample and each time I wear it, I am sure that it will be my next full bottle purchase. Then later other more flashy impulsive ideas lead me to put this further down on my list. But I feel sure that this crisp green open, balmy nutty center and woody smooth base will eventually be added to my collection as sure as the sun still rises.

High quality, standard fig

It is a very nice and predictable fig scent. I really like it but it doesn't stand out as particularly different or special. If I had this I would wear and love this but as I'm kind of always on the hunt for fig fragrances, it doesn't stand out enough. It opens fresh and green and dries down a bit more woody and creamy.

The best fig tree smell

I tried this, the extreme, philosykos and all the other fig tree scents around there, and this is by far the best one.

First of all is very important to distinguish the difference between fig and fig tree.
Fig is fruity and sweet. Fig tres is green, leafy, dry and sour.

This scent is all about a green fig tree leaf which turns creamier time after time. Is woody and intoxicating. The almond milk accord and sandalwood is what makes it creamy and nutty. So you basically have a green leaf mediterranean smell with a nutty creamy and woody base.

I also have the shower gel and body cream, and the trio makes this scent last forever on me, and i get lots of unsolicited compliments.

I have a new bottle, 2021 batch, and i have no problems with its performance. People around me smell it even after 6-7 hrs. Maybe old bottles loose power because molecules loose intensity year after year. I personally think new bottles are the best, even if you might not agree…

Finally, don’t think the extreme is the same or performs better. The extreme has a “grandma soap bar” vibe that i can’t stand. The normal edt is the best out there for me. Lighter, more airy, more projecting, fresher… absolutely the best fig tree smell and the FIRST FIG FRAGRANCE in the history (that’s why its name). So honors where honors belong :-)

Parfum de foyer

The smell of fig trees under a blazing sun.

It's realistic, but this kind of literal smell is a retrograde step.
It harks back to the simple naturalism of pre-synthetic perfumery, and the days when perfumers could only copy natural smells and not interpret them.

Fig makes a good parfum d'ambience but it's a bit boring as a fine fragrance.
