Clary Fig

8.3

Carl Kling · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Carl Kling Clary Fig is a fresh, green unisex scent that suits spring and summer best, with the fruity sweetness of fig balanced by citrus. It opens with caraway and lemon, and the heart brings together milk, fig and clary sage. The milk adds a creamy softness, the fig supplies the sweetness, and the spice stays in the background. Musk and sandalwood set a calm, woody base. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, though autumn follows not far behind. It is chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it reads as sitting in the middle. Z Zegna Milan and Xerjoff Uden have a close profile.
