I had been looking forward to Figue Érotique for a long time.
Of course, Tom Ford's reputation precedes, and the first reviews and statements painted a familiar picture.
Then the fragrance arrived. Simple packaging, familiar bottle—so far, so average. Then the first spray.
As a fig lover, I am pleasantly surprised. It is a green fig that I have never smelled before, complemented by a sweetness familiar from caipirinha – brown sugar. Slightly synthetic, slightly hazy, the fragrance lingers in the air. In gentle waves, the sillage, which is slightly above average for Tom Ford, makes its way through the room. In any case, it's a successful fragrance, and I like it. I think it will also sell well, but it won't knock Lost Cherry off its throne – with which it is often compared.
However, it's clear that the price is too high. €355 for 50ml is simply too much. A noble, not too experimental fig that unfortunately not everyone will be able to afford.
