The best and strongest fig scent in the world / green, fresh, and even suitable for summer

I was determined to find the best fig scent in the world, and these were my criteria:
It should be fresh, very green, distinctly smell of fig, and very importantly!: have excellent longevity. It should be perfect for spring and smell very plant-like.

Now I have tested about 8 fig fragrances and often had issues with longevity, or they were too soapy or not green enough. Thanks to a wonderful Parfumo member, I received a sample and spoiler: the fragrance has now been ordered.

The opening:
The scent has a very strong and extremely fresh opening! "Wow, is it strong, fresh, and perfect for summer," I thought immediately. You can directly smell a slight fruitiness and the bergamot. The fig is only present in the background at first. The major players at the beginning are especially the green notes. The skin of a fig or crushed leaves. I also somehow found a minimal cleaner note, which strangely didn’t bother me. It’s not a toilet cleaner note, but I did notice a slight cleaning cloth vibe. My girlfriend said it reminded her of a fresh cocktail with mint (and she is very, very critical), so it passed the friends test.

After 1-3 hours:
The bergamot recedes, and the fig comes to the forefront. The plant-like green notes join in, and it stays like this for a while. A very, very light floral note also appears. This is, for me, the definition of a spring fragrance, invigorating and simply green. It fits perfectly on a sunny day when the first plants bloom after winter.

The drydown:
Here, the fig slowly fades away, and the green notes become more subtle. A woodiness comes in, along with a lasting freshness. This remains until the end and feels simply invigorating and well-groomed.

Longevity and sillage:
The sillage is really very strong in the first hours, and the scent radiates very well. A small, fresh, and green scent wafts into the nose repeatedly. I have never experienced this with this fragrance DNA. Exactly this is the uniqueness of the scent: it is a green and above all strong fig fragrance. For 150 euros / 50ml, I find the price absolutely justified.

Conclusion:
For me, the best fig scent and also the best green scent I have smelled so far. Perfectly unisex and wearable by everyone. For me, it’s a scent that also works very well in summer, but I wouldn’t wear it in the evening or at a club. Whether there are compliments, I can't say. I am happy to say: “I have found the perfect fig scent for spring!”
