REALISTIC FIG, UNREALISTIC PRICE
It’s a very realistic, fresh green fig scent. It opens milky and vegetal, almost lactonic, but not sweet at all. There is nothing dirty, skanky, or truly “erotic” happening here, unless your idea of erotica is sitting on the grass in a fig orchard, enjoying fresh air. As it dries down, it turns creamier, and the fruity, berry-like undertones start to peek out quietly.
What I really like is the muted creaminess and the realism. This smells like an actual fig, not coconutty, not jammy, not overripe, and not too grassy either. Just a clean, green fig, captured very accurately. On my skin, it became especially nice and creamy, with slightly sweet-tart fruity notes coming out later. On the blotter, it stayed true to the opening the whole time: fresh, green, almost cucumber-like fig. So I think this is skin-chemistry dependent, since it smelled so different on skin versus blotter.
It reminds me of Womanity Eau de Parfum, but imagine someone carefully removed the ocean and marine notes and left you alone with just the fig. I like it, I really do, but let’s talk about the price. The largest bottle is around $1,400 and… absolutely not. This is a very simple, very one-note fig fragrance.
In short, it’s a stunningly realistic fig, but not complex enough to justify that price tag.
