I became aware of this fragrance through the nice comment from Helena1411 and bought it blind without a second thought :)
Due to the lack of an "everyday" summer scent (Tom Ford's Mandarino di Amalfi is simply too precious and expensive for everyday use :) , this hint came at just the right time.
Well then, on to the fragrance experience:
For me, the scent can be divided into exactly 3 to 4 components:
The namesake fig, juicy peach, creamy coconut milk, and sensual musk.
Once sprayed on the skin, a delicious, creamy, slightly sweet scent unfolds.
The fig serves as the conductor around which all the other fragrance components are finely arranged; I am particularly surprised by the creamy coconut milk, which I can really perceive well.
Actually, I am not a fan of coconut in fragrances, as this note often comes across as very synthetic and sticky to me, but here it creates a wonderful balance with the fig.
The fig and the coconut share their spot in the sun with a very light peach note that occasionally wafts around my nose... delightful.
The musk keeps everything, as it should, in place.
One more word about the sweetness:
I would categorize the scent as unisex, with a slight tendency towards the feminine side... but never too sweet that men couldn't wear it.
It's simply a beautiful, lightly sweet-smelling summer fragrance that exudes good vibes.
The longevity is perfectly fine, the scent easily lasts 6-7 hours (even longer on clothing)
I would rate the sillage as somewhat weaker, but in my opinion, this doesn't matter much, as the price-performance ratio is simply right. (a little re-spraying won't hurt :) )
Conclusion:
If, like me, you are still looking for a summer scent for 2019, you should definitely give this fragrance a chance. It simply puts me in a good mood and radiates an effortless aura of summery joy of life.
The fragrance doesn't go wrong much (maybe the sillage), but it gets so much right... provided you like fig scents or, like me, are looking for something new.
I’ve also received a sample now and I agree: it’s very well done and a great daily companion in the summer. It really does smell like I’m processing fresh figs from the tree.
I'm glad to hear that my comment helped you with the fragrance, and even more so that it was successful according to your comment! Enjoy your new summer scent!
