What does Balade de Figuier smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn and winter further behind. It is worn mainly for daily and leisure use and also at the office, while night-out and evening votes are fewer.

The scent leans citrus, green and floral: fig leaf and fig milk sit alongside mandarin orange, grapefruit and petitgrain. Benzoin and iris round it into a powdery, creamy, slightly sweet softness, while lavender and Haitian vetiver anchor the green freshness on a woody base. Ferrari Noble Fig and Agua de Sevilla Bulería have a close profile.
