Fleur de Figuier Roger & Gallet 2013 Eau Fraîche
2
Wonderful figgy fruity freshness!
Opens with a bright blast of yummy juicy fig and orange. The grapefruit and caraway is a little too sharp for my nose’s liking, but only for a few minutes or so.
As it starts to settle into the heart, the fresh fig and green fig leafs are bright and vibrant and the caraway adds a lovely aromatic, very slightly soapy, hint to the accord. There’s still hints of orange, but some peach and nectarine there too amongst the fresh fig notes but the lovely green fig leaves stop it becoming too sweet. This is a gorgeous fruity freshie!
In the dry down, there are lovely hints of woody, earthy, slightly honey fig pulp and musky fruitiness in the base. Delicious! There’s creaminess too... No.. not creamy… it’s milky! Not warm ambery cream, it’s green and fresh white milky sap from the fig tree. Beautiful!
I luuurrrrvve Fleur De Figuier!! There is something very familiar in the scent that I haven’t yet placed my nose on. A wonderful fig tree scent. It has the fleshy fruit, complimented with sweet citrus, the musky fig pulp with a hit of honey, the earthy green leaves and the milky fig sap. A perfect Eau Fraîche, blended wonderfully to create a deliciously light and joyful scent that makes me want to dine alfresco on fresh Greek salads, soaking up the sun while sipping on a good Pino Grigio.
