What does Fig smell like?

It opens with pink grapefruit and grand fir, fresh and fruity. In the heart, pink pepper adds spice, jasmine sambac a floral sweetness and Seville lavender absolute an aromatic edge. The base of fir absolute and hyraceum dries down woody, resinous and gourmand.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most for leisure and evening wear. Votes on character split between feminine and masculine, which fits its unisex profile. Parfums de Marly Layton and Enrico Gi Oud Privé have a close profile.
