The Fig I've Been Dreaming Of

Among Ortigia’s offerings, Fico d’India stands out as my favorite and perhaps the only one I’m seriously considering adding to my collection.

This fragrance is a breath of fresh fig, green and sunlit, as if plucked straight from the tree. Floating around it, I sense a citrusy sparkle - bergamot maybe? Or could it be a soft whisper of orange blossom? Whatever it is, it adds a bright shimmer to the fig, lifting it with a light, almost oriental breeze.

It’s simply beautiful. A scent that feels effortless, natural, and luminous, like Sicily in a bottle.

almost atypical for a perfume, a delicious, comforting scent

Little fruity sweetness, rather herbaceous fruity, a creamy nutty almond accord with floral fruity orange blossom on a somewhat fresh cedar accord.
A round composition, for me rather mild fruity with an appealing light woody base.
Fragrance composition with good sillage and good longevity (6-7 hours), not overwhelming but pleasantly present, mild without falling into the vanilla or tonka trap. For ladies and gentlemen, almost atypical for a perfume, more of a delicious, comforting personal scent.

Just had a heated conversation with my girlfriend.
I crave harmony and am more peace-loving than Switzerland - but when someone steps on my toes, I say loud and clear: Ouch!

My temperament sometimes gets in the way.

Now I’m reflecting on whether I was perhaps too prickly?

What fragrance suits my mood better than Fico - the scent with the prickly pear?

But in the opening, an unexpected marzipan aroma soothes my spirit.
As delicious as a fragrant raisin snail from the baker.
I didn’t see that coming.

Then the sweetly fruity prickly pear makes its entrance, but completely without thorns.
The sunny orange blossom also puts me in a mild mood, conveying warmth.
The smoky cedar suggests to me to pack the peace pipe.

This fragrance has temperament - but well-measured.
I think: What does it have to do with me? - and I have to smile.

It has said exactly the right thing to me - and tomorrow I will enjoy delicious raisin snails with my girlfriend in harmony.

I had this Ortigia filled up yesterday at L. so that I can test it in peace. Today I regret not having bought it!

The scent is simple, but really well done! Finally, a fig scent that smells like fig, doesn’t develop a strange herbaceous note, and doesn’t drift into being too sweet.

The scent progression is linear and beautifully supports the prickly pear. The orange blossom gives it a slight freshness at the beginning, and the sandalwood adds a subtle woodiness to the fig in the base, encouraging it to last longer.

The longevity is quite decent, and the presence is moderate. Since it contains natural ingredients, you should definitely test the scent on your skin.

I forgot to mention something in my comment about Ambra Nera. Although the packaging for Ortigia Aqua Colonia states otherwise, it is generally Eau de Toilette.
