Myrillia

At the first sniff, I was nearly overwhelmed by the patchouli note. A criminal offense was just barely averted, and the culprit disappears back into the overall composition of the fragrance after a brief moment - phew, lucky me.
Instead, anise and juniper flit past my nose, giggling and chewing mint gum. I wonder where the mint comes from - it’s not listed in the notes. A subtle woody, herbal note lingers in the air.

Aquatic is not how I would describe this fragrance.

I became aware of the fragrance while searching for a refreshing, summery scent through a YouTube video. However, due to the low price and the unappealing bottle, I had quite low expectations for the fragrance (I know, rookie mistake ;)). A spontaneous test in the store, however, proved me wrong.

At first, the scent is citrusy-fresh, but without smelling like cleaning products. After a short time, the citrus notes fade a bit, and creamy-spicy-green-woody notes come to the forefront. I attribute the creaminess to the vanilla present, which I can't quite detect distinctly, but it seems to do its job very well.

The only downside of this fragrance is its longevity. Unfortunately, this scent needs to be reapplied from time to time to remain present. In my opinion, this is quite manageable for the price. I like to spray the fragrance, for example, when I know that I will be going to the gym later in the day and don’t want to bother anyone there, or to refresh myself throughout a warm day.

My first "real" designer perfume love. Although the scent exudes a certain youthful charm and is certainly not the most complex fragrance of all time, I also find it suitable for an older audience - because I do not perceive the scent as childish at all.
The fragrance is sweet, vanilla-like, creamy, caramel-like - but has an additional subtle spiciness that gives it that special something I love so much about it.
The scent is simple, but not boring or flat.
The fragrance is sweet, but not overwhelming or cavity-inducing.
It works for any occasion; so far, no one has been bothered by it, and I can wear it for all occasions and in all seasons.
In short: this fragrance was my signature scent for years and would probably still be if I hadn't found my way to this forum.

... this is how I perceive the Fico Nero di Sardegna.

What I perceive:
In the first two hours, the green is extremely tree-like - as if one had just broken off a fresh twig from a fig tree and is now sniffing at the break. At this point, I can hardly smell the fig (the fruit) or only very subtly as a background, delicate fruitiness. The focus for me is clearly on the plant, not the fruit. The scent is herbaceous but not bitter. Additionally, one can perceive a milky-mild undertone (which I attribute to the coconut milk) that is somewhat creamy, but does not smell like skin cream to me at all. I find the scent at this point to be extremely "edgy" and characterful.

After about two hours, the intensely green "tree-like" aspect diminishes a bit. Instead, the creaminess and sweetness come a bit more to the forefront. Generally, the green notes are still the most characteristic and noticeable aspect of the scent. The scent intensity decreases, and it no longer wafts into the nose with every movement of air - it becomes more intimate. In the process, it almost takes on a musky quality.

My personal opinion:
I see this scent as art - as an art form to capture and convey the scent of the fig tree as representatively as possible. However, I currently do not see myself wearing Eau de Tree (and that is simply what this scent is for me in the first few hours). This is by no means a negative comment; rather, I feel somewhat overwhelmed by the greenness. However, those looking for an authentic fig tree perfume will surely find an extremely suitable scent here. People who are searching for a fig scent with a focus on the fruit or generally a sweeter scent will likely be disappointed here.

I needed several attempts to write this review. Dabbing it on, thinking - hmm, I’ll write a review later. I lost sight of writing the review, but still kept sniffing and indulging all day long.

Initially, I found this scent to be very mature and formal. More elegant and serious than what would typically be an everyday scent for me (so far). Floral and zesty-tingly, it tickles my nose at first - I attribute the latter to the citrus notes, although I can't perceive them overly strongly otherwise.
The fragrance is intense, but neither overpowering nor heavy, and yet not too fleeting.
I see it in the evening with a cocktail dress, all dressed up - perhaps as a guest at a wedding?
Later, it becomes vanilla-like, creamy-spicy, and still remains floral. Here I can also distinctly smell the jasmine. A gentle and very pleasant farewell.

So why is it an everyday scent for me now, when all the described associations lean more towards the formal? I caught myself wanting to wear it even on days when I already knew I wouldn’t find the time to review the scent (and when there were no special occasions). And those days were certainly not glamorous - sitting at my desk in the home office with no concrete plans to leave the house.
