What does Figue Amère smell like?

It opens with fig leaf, mandarin orange and bergamot, a green, citrusy freshness. In the heart, violet leaf, narcissus, angelica seed and rose add a soft, lightly spicy floral touch. Irish moss, cedarwood and amber settle underneath as a woody, faintly sweet base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads about equally masculine and feminine. It has been discontinued. Ramón Monegal Impossible Iris and Harry Lehmann Akazie have a close profile.
