Fragrance notes
Character
The fig note arrives with a green, slightly milky skin that feels like walking past a tree where the fruit has just split open. Lemon sits beside it, bright and sharp, keeping the opening from leaning fully into cream. Together they form a fruity and citrus pairing that stays close to the body, never expanding outward to fill a space.
Floral and woody accords round out the character, giving the scent a gentle structure that supports the sweetness without letting it sprawl. The composition maintains a steady presence through a morning or afternoon, sitting near the skin in a way that requires a lean in to catch the details. It fits a table set outdoors with a glass of cold water and a plate of sliced fruit, the air warm enough to make the light feel heavy.
Sweetness here is tempered by the green edge of the fig, creating a floral and woody trail that lingers just enough to be noticed. The scent feels at home in a garden path lined with trees, where the air carries a natural, easy warmth. A bowl of ripe figs resting on a sunlit stone ledge.
