First of all, I rarely like figs. The fig note here is a little to figgy for my taste, but it's a very interesting scent anyway because it's got some odd green but indolic note that feels threatening (I can't describe it in any other way), the rose somehow adds to the menacing atmosphere. I can see why it's called the Serpent's Orchard, I really do feel like something is watching me from the fig trees, when I smell this fragrance. I can't see the serpent but I know it is there.
