What does Figuier Noir smell like?

Black pepper, cardamom and clove give the opening a spicy edge, while fig leaf adds a green note. In the heart, jasmine and iris bring a soft floral touch and black fig leans fruity. Cedarwood and patchouli form a woody base, and candied fig sweetens the finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter the least chosen. It suits leisure, work and daily wear, and most voters read it as masculine, though some call it classic or modern. Nishane Karagoz and Harry Lehmann Feige have a close profile.
