Fig Heart in the Winter Forest

I love fig and I love patchouli. The fact that there is a fragrance that plays so wonderfully with both notes makes me extremely happy.
I expected a dark, earthy patch, but instead I got a fruity, cheerful fig heart with delicate earthy tones and finely woven amber, cocoa & cedar notes.
This scent makes my heart race.

What I find particularly great is that it can be worn casually in spring and perhaps also on not-so-warm summer days. It is definitely office-friendly, even though my colleague wrinkled her nose upon entering the office and said it smelled strange, somewhat medicinal.
So it already has a great radiance and is very potent.

In my opinion, "Matières Libres - Patchouli Figue | Panouge" is simply elegant and refined.

The delicate spiciness that the fragrance reveals is beautifully complemented by the fruity note. I don’t detect pear and rhubarb.
The patch is not musty or cellar-like. No, it is bright and friendly.
It reminds me of a forest in winter without snow, in sub-zero temperatures. This makes the combination with the fig quite unusual.

The fig is truly always present. In the top note, it is very strong, slightly sweet, not overwhelming but still captivating.
The patch-amber note gives it a wonderful depth.
Patch remains until the end, accompanied by a light cedar forest.
Cocoa and amber make it softer, tamer, and beautifully rounded.
All in all, it harmonizes immensely and is one of my patch favorites.
It’s not necessarily cheap, but it’s definitely worth a test!

I completely agree with your colleague, at least regarding the part about it smelling strange. I don’t perceive it as medicinal, but something in this mix gives me strong nausea. Personally, I wouldn’t categorize it as office-friendly.
Even though I have a negative perception of it overall, I think it’s great how enthusiastically you describe it and how lovely it is for you :) Kudos for the enthusiasm :)

A lovely enthusiastic description. I just tested the scent. I'm not shy about fig, but here the combination is a bit too sweet for me; I would have liked a bit more patchouli and/or wood. But you can't love everything, right? :-)
