What does Wild Fig & Cassis smell like?

Fig and blackcurrant lead in the top, giving a fruity first impression with a green edge. Stone pine in the heart adds a resinous depth. Cedar and musk in the base settle the sweetness onto a woody, earthy footing and soften it.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mostly for daily use, leisure and the office. It reads more feminine to many, though a fair share of voters call it masculine. Molinard Figue and Massimo Dutti Luminous Neroli have a close profile.
