Juicy fig fruit amber
I *love* fig fragrances, and specifically, I love the smell of fig fruit, rather than the leaf, so when I heard this was a fruity fig fragrance I had to try it. It opens up bombastic sweet fruity fig with incredible sillage. I had sprayed it on the back of my right hand and after that it was far and away the most dominant and persistent fragrance in my scent bubble for a good few hours. After that, the fragrances becomes a little more sweet fruity with a floral aspect that kinda reminds me of green muscat grapes and white floral and goes through a (thankfully) short messy latex plastic bit before that recedes and it slowly descends into a woody amber base that gets closer and closer to the skin. The longevity is ok in that it's still detectable on skin at roughly 10hrs in, but I would say the "main attraction" of the perfume is in the first 6hrs.
Surprisingly all-season for a fig fragrance and much more fig dominant than BDK Gris Charnel, which I suppose is the only other all-season fragrance I can think of that features fig. Much sweeter and juicier than most of the famous figs out there, like L'Artisan Premier Figuer and Diptyque Philosykos. Sweeter and not as woody/creamy as Essential Parfums Fig Infusion or Satellite a la Figue! Less bright and watery floral than Parfumerie Generale Jardin de Kerylos.
Sprayed on from the tester bottle at Ministry of Scent in SF on a 75F day. Worn about 10hrs at time of writing.
