Although I haven't consciously smelled Fleur de Figuier yet, it feels familiar to me.
Could it have been worn in the family?
It also seems much older than the indicated production date of 1999.
I would have placed it in the 1940s, as it has a pleasant old school note.
Could this be due to the nostalgic ivy?
The fig leaf dominates the scent, and the petitgrain adds a green sweetness.
The cedar is distinctly woody-spicy, which gives the fragrance a somewhat antiquated feel that takes some getting used to.
A scent that surrounds you when you shuffle through old castles or museums in plush slippers.
Figuier has a certain noble "dusty" quality - if my nose isn't just playing tricks on me.
It's certainly an unusual fragrance blend that I don't reject, but I need to warm up to it first.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of an occasion or mood where I could wear it.
