Delicious Fig
MEΘEXIS (Methexis) is not your typical green fig fragrance—this is fig transformed into a decadent dessert. With notes of fig, dried fruits, honey, cocoa, and cinnamon, it feels like indulging in a luxurious fig pudding or, more specifically, a fig-and-honey crème brûlée I once had.

The fig here is creamy and luscious, capturing the rich flesh rather than the green, leafy aspects of the fruit. The honey note deserves a special mention: where honey can sometimes come across as sharp or overly pungent, here it is smooth, voluptuous, and perfectly rounded, adding depth without overpowering. As it dries down, a subtle powderiness from the cocoa emerges. With the base notes of Benzoin and Amber enhancing it's warm, gourmand character without straying from the figgy heart.

Wearing MEΘEXIS brings back memories of that unforgettable crème brûlée, its caramelized top breaking to reveal a silky, fig-laden sweetness beneath it. It’s a fragrance so delectable it might just tempt you to take a bite out of yourself.

A sophisticated gourmand
MEΘEXIS is a stunning combination of fig, cocoa, honey and vanilla. Beautifully blended, easily unisex as it isn’t too sweet, and perfect for all year round. This is a light wearing fragrance, but it does create a nice scent bubble around you. I find myself catching alternating whiffs of cocoa and honeyed fig throughout the day. Very sophisticated, but comforting at the same time. This is a creamy warm fig scent, no greenness here. I’m not usually a fan of fig scents and while I would say it’s definitely the most dominant note, it’s so beautifully blended with the other notes that I really love it.

My last review...
...is actually over two years ago...and I actually have neither the time nor the muse to sit down and write about it...but this one deserves a review from me. Most of you don't like fig scents, I can't relate but well...live and let live *laughs*...I on the other hand LOVE fig scents and I've sniffed my way through a few the last few years, but this one is the best of them all...why? Because it has the most authentic fig I've ever smelled in a perfume.

Already when spraying on you can smell the fig...green, fresh, light-footed tangy (probably by the currant)...but that does not stay so...after a few minutes join cocoa and honey and a mü cinnamon...cocoa and cinnamon I know...cinnamon with honey I also already know...but cocoa, honey and cinnamon is a daring combination yet incredibly successful in this case. At this point, the fragrance also reminds me a bit of Sorriso by Profumum Roma. While the Sorriso but crushes you in his chocolate embrace and is a 1A canditate for headaches, Methexis manages the trick to leave the fig "green", but still sweet and powdery to emphasize. After a while I also smell the cedar out, which was very well integrated, but just so much a spiciness lets through, that this fragrance actually remains unisex...would he be more strongly dosed, I would want to smell him rather on a man.

In the course, so in the drydown I perceive the musk, benzoin and amber and always in the background the fig, which pulls a tail of tart cocoa with it...

The fragrance has no monster sillage but also does not belong to the wallflowers...so just right for my taste...Durability loose eight hours, then body close. Towards the end I smell on my skin only the vanilla and amber with a weng honey...

Seasonally I see the now in autumn and winter...hm...I'll dare to try it on a really cold day with Sorriso to layer, if I survive the combination, I'll tell you about it *g*

Manos Gerakinis has awakened in me the desire to test more fragrances from him...I'll keep an eye on...

Oh yes...here's a little fun fact of mine...I love the smell of figs, but I don't like to eat them....*laugh*

MEΘEXIS - a lovely gourmand
MEΘEXIS, created by Manos Gerakinis and Chris Maurice. In my opinion, a true masterpiece!

I love the dark purple ripe figs from my own garden. Beautifully juicy, creamy fruity and with a light pleasant honey note. I could sit down in it! I also love the smell of high quality cocoa powder and honey. How beautiful the kitchen smells when I prepare chocolate myself!

MEΘEXIS combines all these delicious scents in a unique work of art.
Creamy, sweet, ripe fig combines with delicious cocoa and honey to a heavenly dessert, refined with vanilla, which brings more complexity together with benzoin, amber and vetiver. Through musk everything becomes a little softer.

I associate the wonderful fragrance with an indescribably delicious golden nectar, which is well perceptible for many hours and wears like an elegant robe of warmth and security.

He can do something!
I liked MEΘEXIS the first time I tried it and the more I smelled and wore it, the more I liked it.
This fragrance is really something and should be tested.
MEΘEXIS has a high-quality, elegant and simply harmonious effect.
It has a great fine sweetness, pleasant fruity notes and simply "depth".

At the beginning we have this great fig. Slightly green, fresh and fruity. At the same time, in combination with the dried fruit, it is beautifully sweet.
However, you can already sense the honey wafting in the background and the cocoa even more so in my opinion.

After a certain amount of time, the cocoa becomes more intense and is simply totally elegant. In my opinion, the cocoa makes up so much of this fragrance.
This note is beautifully crafted. In addition, we then have other great notes that are simply a great addition to the other accords and ensure a super harmony.
I would like to mention vanilla, cinnamon and benzoin once again.

Over time, the fruity impression fades more and more. This beautiful cocoa becomes more intense and is paired with vanilla, the great benzoin and amber. You can just feel that it is a great, creamy gourmand with an idea.

Super unisex wearable and with appealing performance, the fragrance still comes along.
I like it!
