Fleur de Figuier (1999)
by Molinard

From the vial ... love at first sniff: Enthralled, charmed, smitten--soft greenery, fig-sweetened. Something goes a little wrong once the juice hits my skin though. Our combined chemistry generates an almond note and the green disappears. Awww. So close to ecstacy. I'm going to smell this vial over and over and over and over.

Ooooh, Talieseki, thanks so much for that information. I adore this fig (I am a fig fiend - have about a half a dozen of them) It is at once pungent - green and lightly, sweetly rounded - and bracing, and the essence (for me) of fig. For someone for whom Phylosikos doesn't work and whose fave until now has been Premiere Figuiere that is really saying something.

Could smell great on the right guy, but you fig-loving ladies should give it a try too!!

That is really amazing. I have never expected it to be realistic. Fleur de Figuier has exactly the smell of green small ripe male figs we collect to make jam. And of course the big coarse fig leaves and the milk it runs out when you cut a leaf or ripe fruit. It is really very nice and realistic. but it would be a male scent more than a female i think. (May be because the scent is of a male tree... the fig trees do not carry male and female flowers on the same tree like many other fruits. If you want to grow fig you have to have many female trees beside a male tree. While female trees gives the yummy big fruits, male tree has green small unriped unseeded fruits that are tasteless but has that wonderful aroma. So they are collected for candies and jams.) well i advice it to gentlemen who likes sweet greens.

A classic unisex figuier scent extremely pleasant to wear, chiefly during summer days (very refreshing). A cheaper alternative to Dyptique's Phylosikos.
