What does Figuier Ardent smell like?

It opens with Calabrian bergamot, Guatemala cardamom and Turkish aniseed, setting citrus against a touch of spice. In the heart, salted fig, Provençal fig leaf and Madagascar pepper give it a green, lightly fruity and aquatic feel. The base of Florentine iris, Virginia cedar and Brazilian tonka bean settles into a soft, woody and creamy finish.

Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads as balanced between the two. Acqua di Parma Yuzu and Acqua di Parma Mirto di Panarea have a close profile.
