Pros & Cons
- ✅ Perfect for a hot summer day – opens very green, smelling like fig leaves, and settles down to a more fruity fig before drying down beautifully woody. (Chishiya)
- ✅ Truly a pretty fragrance. Green, juicy, and feels like a warm sunny spring afternoon. (Maxmiller614)
- ✅ I love the fig leaf note – creamy, Mediterranean, perfect if you’re longing for summer. (SabiedribasKrejums)
- ✅ The most natural‑smelling fig perfume – green, milky, fruity, and a tiny bit woody. (Liz-frag)
- ✅ Users love its realistic fig leaf and fruit scent, describing it as fresh, green and reminiscent of a fig tree.
- ✅ Praised as a versatile unisex fragrance that shines in warm weather, especially spring and summer.
- ✅ The EDP version is noted for a richer, woodier character compared with the EDT.
- ✅ Realistic and evocative fig scent that feels like a Mediterranean grove.
- ✅ Excellent longevity for a green, fresh fragrance.
- ✅ Versatile unisex wear, suitable for daytime and casual occasions.
- ✅ Sophisticated yet approachable composition.
- ❌ I absolutely disliked this at first sniff. (ppalm)
- ❌ The worst thing about this scent is the longevity, which isn’t any and the projection is practically nonexistent. (MegWhite)
- ❌ I do not like this as a fragrance for my skin – it goes slightly sour and ends up smelling like a rotten fig tree. (pleasuretoburn)
- ❌ Short longevity and weak projection are the most common complaints.
- ❌ Some reviewers find the lactonic/coconut note artificial or off‑putting.
- ❌ A few users report the scent becoming sour or overly sweet after a short wear.
- ❌ Can be perceived as overly green or vegetal by some noses.
- ❌ Moderate projection and sillage may not satisfy those seeking a strong trail.
- ❌ Premium price point compared to similar niche offerings.
- ❌ Fig note is polarising for people unfamiliar with fig‑centric scents.
