I enjoy this fragrance, but I don’t think it smells as natural of fig leaf or tree as Diptyques’s Philosykos or some others I’ve tried. Esteban’s Folie de Figue is more of a stylized, abstract fig concept than it is “fig.” It represents the leaf, but also there is the bark and probably the fruit in the background. The basically green accord is well grounded in a neutral woody base. But there’s something else besides fig in the mix: Something that changes a standard fig leaf green note to a brightly aromatic fig leaf green note. There’s something like aldehydes in there, but it’s not aldehydes. There’s just a touch of synthetic in the mix but it’s an interesting creation... for a while. Folie de Figue is pleasant and highly wearable. The striking green note lasts on my skin for about a half hour, but then the fragrance falls apart and for all purposes, disappears. Excellent beginning but lacks longevity and development.
