Between edible and Ornamental
[Subjective]
I’m reviewing this as an outsider to this genre. I love figs, but not on my skin. That said, there was enough richness and depth in the presentation here to entice me.
This is a very creamy, almost powdery and floral interpretation of fig. You don’t get a juicy succulent fig, but rather more of the feeling of sitting under a fig tree on a late summer night. The fig is balanced with a super buttery jasmine that I’m guessing is supposed to conjure the image of the fig flower. I like it, but beware of its indolic nature if you are sensitive to that. It doesn’t smell like other jasmine scents you might be used to, and that’s really intriguing.
On your search for the perfect fig fragrance, this definitely should be on your list, but to me, it misses the intrigue and depth that other Meo Fusciuni fragrances carry.

Opens round, sweet and fruity. You get the fig right away, together with the mysterious and creamy jasmine note. It’s all very dark and a bit wilted (in a good way), like a couple of figs have started to decompose on the tree. Then you get to appreciate the subtle vanilla caramel sweetness that rounds out this profile perfectly.
As it sits, the floral blends with the other notes, focusing the image on this fig. A cramy and silky dried fig that’s right in between edible and ornamental. A deep green note completes the image here with a faint bitterness.
The scent remains pretty linear from here on out, although the indole becomes more noticeable towards the drydown in an unpleasant way, at least on my skin.
[Performance]
Performance is adequate. It’s no bomb, but that’s ok. On my skin, I get 4-6 solid hours of enjoyment, but the last couple of hours of wear become weak. Definitely an intimate scent as it only projects in the first hour or so. The good thing is that it remains pleasant throughout the entire wear!
