What does Purple Fig smell like?

Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, while winter gets the fewest votes. Leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, and some also find it fits the office. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. It sits between masculine and feminine, with votes split fairly evenly.

It opens with angelica seed and Sichuan pepper, which add a light spicy edge. The heart brings galbanum, green fig and jasmine absolute, so the green, fruity side melts into a soft floral note. Cashmere wood and vetiver settle underneath as a woody, creamy base. Miller Harris Lumière Dorée and Harry Lehmann Feige have a close profile.
