Reviews of Fig & Vetiver
by Anthousa

Smooth, sweet, and very beautiful! Also smells natural IMHO, like mellow fruits and coconut. The creaminess makes it special and not too sharp.
One word of caution: I believe this contains natural fragrance oils. Key word oils. When I sprayed on my wrist it made my skin shine (the EDP spray).
It was later absorbed and ceased to glimmer, but I would suggest not to spray this on clothes as the oils could stain.

One of my first "niche" purchases, and certainly my first very smart fragrance buy (though I didn't know it at the time!) Inexplicable Fig and Vetiver was at my local TJ Maxx, alone and unboxed. I loved the ombre bottle with that milky sea green at the bottom, and after a quick spritz I was hooked. I think I got 50 ml for about 10 dollars. I still love it, my bottle is still beautiful, and though I don't wear it often, I wear it with love. The fig and vetiver are such a potentially disasterous combo to me (could come off too sharp or green), but this is a lovely and well balanced fragrance. I agree with Taolady-it's downright creamy. No sharp edges, but sophisticated and a little dry. Beloved.

Now I am a HUGE (if inexperienced) fig fan and LUVLUVLUV LaP Prmiere Figuier - but I love this too - it's a creamier figue with the most subtle greeniness and has pretty good sillage and longevity.

A very delightful fig fragrance. I was unimpressed with L'artisans Premier Figuier, so I wasn't expecting much from this one either (the L'artisan was just a little TOO foodish on me). But, this one retains the woody sweetness of the fig note and blends it with the crisp green vetiver notes to create a subtle, relaxed, but nevertheless distinctive experience. Highly recommended if you can find a bottle.
