What does Ficus in Fabula smell like?

It opens with fig, fig leaf, vodka and caviar, and the fig leaf carries on into the heart, keeping the green side forward. Dried fruits, ozone, marine notes and hibiscus push it toward an aquatic, floral feel. The base closes it with fig wood, cedarwood, hazelnut and vanilla, adding a woody, creamy sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though from a small number of votes. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure and daily wear leading and night out and evening also getting a share. It reads as an easy unisex scent for relaxed use. Dorin Figue Divine and Lorenzo Pazzaglia Dream Sea have a close profile.
