Freaky Fig

On paper I did not like it at all. Thankfully I kept it around and gave it a try on skin! It needs the warmth of a body to bring it to life. It’s a photorealistic fig: velvety, mottled purple skin encasing earthy, creamy sweet flesh with crunchy little seeds. It’s a very wild, natural fig, not at all tame or polite. It can even be a little raunchy - several people raised their eyebrows when they smelled it. To me, this is a perfect end of summer fragrance - read Margaret Atwood’s poem “Late August” to catch the vibe.

Meadows in May

This is profoundly relaxing, and incredibly unique.

As it opens I get kitchen savories and crisp vegetal notes. I'm not sure, but it's like celery, marjoram, parsley and maybe even a bite of cucumber, but all very natural - unconventional greenness.

As it dries the greens remain, but I catch the fig blended with black currant. They combine into a fruitiness that remains warm and comforting, not quite jammy, but authentic and far from cloying. If you dislike fruit generally, I'd recommend this even so, it's never a huge blast and is unlike many designer fragrances in it's approach.

An indistinct warm undertone carries this along and rounds out the fruit&greens; and we're it not so I'd think this was unbalanced and too thin. As it is, it's still not a "thick" fragrance and there's an understated grace about it all. So much is done with only 4 notes.

As I've mentioned, it's warm. It reflects summer, but think I'd prefer in spring when things are still a little cool. Maybe 55-60 degrees and mild. I'd bet it would sing in April-May, and I'll try it then. It's nicer indoors so far than it is outside, the winter air is unkind to sweet Elektra.

Also, longevity is insane.

Not the Fig for Me

I’ve tried this a few times, and I just can’t love it. The complexity is there and the notes aren’t *wrong*; they do describe the scent I experience. This just isn’t a version of those notes that brings me joy.

I’m definitely getting a realistic fig leaf, but somehow the overall impression is soapy-powdery rather than green. A friend of mine compared it to Shalimar and I can kinda see it.
