Fig Infusion Essential Parfums for women and men

I'm just starting to delve into fig fragrances and I was anticipating a jammier sweet fig but this is green and fresh (still sweet but not as 'ripe' as I imagined). I did not care for this when I first applied it but as the day wears on I'm really enjoying the freshness of the floral notes and the consistency of the balance of everything over the last few hours.

A bitter but not green fig, like Gris Charnel but with less sweetness, nothing like Figuier Eden.

I sampled this a while ago but I'm coming back to it now and finding it really nice. The drydown is a very beautifully done combination of sandalwood and white florals with a small hint of green fig. Everything is blended so well together that the notes blur into a minimal boquet of soft floral woods and a tart fruity effect. Orange blossom and a small bit of freesia...really easy-going and doesn't get too heavy and lactonic or sweet. Just enough sharpness from various elements to feel alive and refreshing but not super citrusy in a masculine-fresh way. The fig is definitely present for the first hour maybe? Then it fades a bit. This uses it more in support of other things rather than putting it at the forefront, but it's always there lingering in the background. I also get a little minty camphor of some kind that I keep wanting to smell on my testing strip, but I'm not sure where it's coming from. Maybe it's the spiciness of the freesia? Better than The Matcha if you ask me, but leans into more feminine soft/white florals with a subtly tart fruit in the background. Still a great release that I'm tempted to pick up.

not anywhere near as good as gris charnel, has a rotten/wet grass note in a santal33 way that doesnt suit me, but one could say this is a brighter(less dark) and less potent gris charnel with a touch of santal 33. I cant wear santal 33 bc i LOVE it but it smells rotten with my skin chemistry unfortunately, I feel like this can be a slightly feminine alternative of that which i can wear. This is also totally unisex to me. comforting and pleasant but weakkkk. Lasts for an hour ish. its nice but dont need it tbh, would rather put it in the diffuser and smell it in the air

i got a sample of this from scentsplit and i was so obsessed that i immediately bought a full bottle- i was looking for a solid fig scent for spring/summer, and this is THE one! it's kind of like a fresher, more citrusy rendition of Gris Charnel by BDK- sweet juicy fig, black tea, some mellow spices, delicate florals to round it out. but then Fig Infusion has this bright mandarin aspect that makes it so nice for warmer weather. there's also a resinous quality from the benzoin that i love on the drydown. extremely wearable, unisex, and a more ~ripe~ fig version of Diptyque's Philosykos imo- would definitely recommend for fig lovers!

another one of essential parfums frags that smells like hotel amenities! but this time in not the most desirable way. the sandalwood and general woodiness in this compared to orange x santal is much much heavier smelling. i also smell no fig at all. i see what the notes mean by creamy though, but it's more reminiscent of a thick coconut cream with no coconut smell instead of say, cream from milk. 6.5/10

Personally I just don't believe this is a unisex fragrance.
Too feminine and straight up the performance appears to be pretty weak so it's a no for me.
Just smells like a bunch of flowers to me.

Updating my last review: I wore today and the performance was crazy, idk what other people are talking about. I put it on at 9am and still smell it at 12am. I also got a complement from a friend sitting next to me at hour 13. The scent bubble isn't that big but def lasts a long time on my skin.

To me this smells like what I would imagine a cartoon fig to smell like. Sweet and bright. Then its more woody and green but the fig lasts a surprisingly long time. Good easy scent to spray on a spring day when you want to smell clean, ripe, and interesting. Great value, 8/10.

Posting another review after wearing this fragrance for 1.5 years. I have a theory that you get complimented on fragrance when 1. it's a crowd pleasing composition, 2. it aligns with your personality.

In my case, the second scenario is true. I had a girl shout "It's you!" and ask me what I was wearing in the bathroom at the Florence and the Machine concert because she had smelled me walking past the merch line. It seems to match my vibe, and when I wear this I usually get noticed, even though it's not that loud compared to modern-day fare like Delina, BR540, etc.

too citrusy, creamy and woody for some reason I can barely smell the fig.

Update: this barely lasts, it didn't even last on me 3 hours after showering myself with it, I usually apply this before I go to sleep? and I'm unsure why but it sort of relaxes me, which is a good thing I suppose

Great scent, not so great performance. Still like it because of the scent tho.

Musky sandalwood with slightly green akcent, figs as a wonderful, complementary point.
This fragrance is cozy and fluffy, the touch of fresia adds a gentle kiss by flowers. I like its freshness, which is not tart, just awakening.

The perfume is very similar to Parisian Musc (creaminess) and Thé Matcha (skin-close, introverted) to me. In comparsion with Philosykos, is less green. Nonetheless, this fragrance has its beauty which is uplifting and comforting. It doesn't get bitter, it's delicious.

Everyone seems to have a bit of a different opinion. Personally, I find it to be slightly sweet, but not really to the point where you would consider this a sweet perfume. It feels very creamy and smooth, which is very nice. I would have hoped for a slightly sweeter opening but for the dry down it is the right amount of sweetness. As the creamy ceases the woody slowly increases.
Have had people say it seems good for summer and winter, so I would say it can be used all year round. Distinctive smell that is unique yet inoffensive. 8/10

More sandlewood than anything, immediately. Definitely unisex. It smells soft and cozy. I think it'd be great for fall/winter

its good, but its not as creamy as i wanted. i think the tea note makes it a little too green for my liking. it is subtle ans fresh tho.

Smells like biting into a fresh fizzy fig leaf, with all of it's positives and none of the negatives.

It has the texture of the little hairs on the leaf (like the skin of peaches). This feeling is very similar to fleur de pêche by L'Artisan Parfumeur.

Delicious creamy tea date in the woods, with buttered croissants as the main dish. An instant love

Beautiful and refreshing perfume, perfect for those who want a fresh spring-summer fragrance without going for citrus or neroli-based aromas.

It smells of fig leaves, black tea and, as it evolves, creamy but soft and wearable sandalwood. This note is really the star of the show for me. As a whole, it results in a slightly green and woody aroma, with a soft touch of woody sweetness in its late drying.

It has a moderate sillage and lasts more than 10 hours on my skin. It is perfectly unisex.

It is a fragrance that I like and I admit that it is beautiful but I have not fallen in love with it. Personally, I like to perceive more of the fig in this type of perfume, accompanying the green and woody part of the fig tree, that is, having a touch more fruity sweetness in the composition.

Would I buy again? I did not buy it

I think it's not for summer.

My favourite offering from this house and one of my favourite fig scents. This is such a nice but also provocative fig scent, that is giving me slight tingle on the nose like there is some ground pepper and mint in the front but I guess that's the black tea note playing tricks on me. I went through entire bottle and I will definitely buy another, it is just so pleasing to wear.

A very light, powdery, light soapy-like scent.
No greens, no citrus, no woody notes to me at all.
Just a really friendly airy sweet fig scent, but hardly recognizable as a perfume on my skin.
Not bad though.
Don’t get the masculine note as well.
But I think it is an overall nice easy to wear perfume.

A lot of times scents dont smell like the notes mentioned and i have been used to that. But with this one, its so perfect, i pick up most of it. It has the fig, it has the woody notes, i pick up on the tea and definitely the orange blossom. This is slightly sweet and woody. A wonderful blend in my opinion, very nice scent. I wasn’t expecting much since it was a blind buy but its really good. A very classy, confident and elegant scent.

Kind of reminds me of a cross between Thé Matcha and Thé Noir, which I both like, at a much more affordable price. There is something a little rubbery to the drydown but I still enjoy this. It's worth trying if you're a fig lover.

Guess 1981 indigo very similar to this perfume 100% 👍🏽

Fig Infusion Essential Parfums - "a very gentle fig scent" is my initial thought. When I read the notes list, seeing fig as the main note of this perfume. I was very much afraid that, this one is gonna be another sweet bomb fig scent as many perfumes out there in the market. Surprisingly, it is the opposite; the fig is the main note that your nose immediately picks up after the first spray, but the sweetness of the perfume is not coming from this but rather the woody notes accompany the fig note. To be specific, sandal wood note and cedar wood note. Sandal wood note brings the richness flavor while cedar wood notes brings its signature cool breeze of the mountain range which in turn balance the sweetness from sandal wood. This one definitely is leaning more on the feminine side and I can see that this will be a very nice office perfume for the ladies due to its non-offensive sweet nature. If you want to try out fig scent and cannot go past the sweetness which is quite a signature element of the note then this perfume will be and ideal choice.

Got a sample of this to try something fresh and similar to Philosykos. I would say this reads somewhat more feminine and powdery, while lacking some of the greener elements of Philosykos. Longevity is ok (3-4 hrs), and doesn't really change throughout its wear. I don't get any citrus from this, mostly just fig, white florals, and a bit of woodiness.

This smells like Jazz Club in the drydown so much and nobody mentioned it so far. Perhaps more like a warm weather version

It starts with a tart, green fig, which, with the time, turns creamy and positively delicious. It is one of my personal favourites, and a great alternative to Philosykos for the fig lovers that want something slightly less coconut-y

i like the opening alot. but the dry down is just a bit dirty maybe? i will not be buying this but for sure will wear the 2ml sample i got.

Unisex- fig-coconut & tea smell with hint of woods ,,
classy spa or the smell of skincare product of first class on a plane ,,this kind of smells

smells like plastic to me. sillage is a nice fig, but closer to skin it’s disgusting. skin chemistry is to blame, i suppose, don’t blind buy

I'm adding this to my wishlist simply for the dry down. The price is good as well.

This is a great daily wearable fragrance. It 100% reminds me of Le Labo The Noire 29 but less woody and more fig forward feminine. After the first 30m and into hour 2 it is a hit of sweet - which maybe a bit cloying, but if you hang in with this fragrance it dries down to a wonderfully feminine v of TN 29. Light on the wood. floral, fig and tea forward. Amazing longevity and pleasant sillage. For the price it is totally worth it.

Been looking for a fig fragrance for a while and this is JUST RIGHT. Right down the middle. Not overly creamy and sweet which can get a bit cloying. Light and refreshing with just enough sweetness and woodiness. Looking forward to wearing this in spring and summer. Definitely try this out if you like fig.

Not a sweet fig and only a touch green and woody but not overpoweringly so which I very much appreciate,,has that skin scent intimacy going on, along with a citrusy brightness and the milky fig / creamy sandalwood rolls around it all. I really love this. I love fig scents and this is sophisticated and not overbearing in its green-ness or milkyness and perfect for spring summer.

This is quite pleasant. Surprised me considering how well priced it is. Smells higher quality than price implies. I get more clementine/tea more than fig with a slightly creamy sandalwood base. A little soapy as well.

Neutered Philosykos. I don't love Philosykos, so I am not a huge fan of this one too. It's woody, creamy, fig which just like Philosykos becomes playdough smell on my skin. I'd imagine this would smell lovely on other people!

Reminds me on opening a little of Le Labo Thé Noir 29 but the fig is greener and the tea note is not so prominent. The florals are more pronounced and it’s altogether a bit more upfront and less ethereal than TN29, but actually every bit as elegant. As it dries down it heads off in a different direction altogether and ends up smelling radically different, quite unique and original.
I don’t see any comparison to Un Jardin en Mediterranée or Philosykos, it’s very much greener, kind of soapier. The former is drier, the latter is creamier. It’s nothing like Gris Charnel, it is not as complex or as spicy.
I seem to detect an anise note, like fennel, that’s not listed.
Very fresh, clean, bright and uplifting, ideally suited to days of warm weather.
Performs well, projection and longevity are both pretty good.
Another masterful, original creation from the prolific and brilliant Nathalie Lorson, Essential Parfums clearly don’t scrimp on quality, despite their amazing affordability.
Highly recommended, it’s not like any other fig fragrance I’ve come across.

This is beautiful and gets me compliments from people who wouldn’t generally wear fig forward fragrances. It was the best scent for summer ‘22/23 for me.

Performance is incredible

The reviews of this saying it’s green and boring steered me away from even trying it. I received a sample by chance today and I love it! It’s sweet and creamy fig, I don’t get the green notes or anything masculine.

I'm having a hard time finding the green aspect that people are talking about. This is a very lactonic smelling fig with sandalwood. Nothing comparable to Philosykos or Fico di Amalfi, it smells distant and calculated. No freshness.

unisex scents are easily liked by many people.
a mix of fig, sandalwood, tea and sweet orange in the opening.
but this is not unique in my opinion it is still standard like designer perfume.

I don't get people saying it reminds them Philosykos. Philosykos has much more creamy, milky vibes, while fig infusion is nothing else just grass and lemon. It was a blind buy, expecting something more similar to Philosykos, but I got disappointed. Glad I didn't buy a full bottle. In my opinion there are much more better generic perfume than this. Don't get me wrong, they're not bad, but as I said, I only smell lemon and grass, both at the beginning and after a dry down.

It's an easy grab for daytime wear, performs nicely and won't offend anyone. It's sweet without at all being obnoxious. Cedar in the composition gives a masculine vibe without going too overboard imo. I'd buy again at this price point. 8/10

Well, what can I say, this one completely lives up to its name. Strong fig, strong tea, and all-round probably the best fig perfume I've had the pleasure of wearing. Still don't think it's a great match for me personally, but a wonderful scent. Even though I have no use for a full bottle, I'm going to miss my sample when it's gone.

Very very green fig/sandalwood combo, but with a crucial vetiver and citrus bridging the gap, blending green and woody elements seamlessly. The result is something vegetal without being bitter, aromatic without smelling like cologne. The sandalwood is quite tame and not as synthetic and peppery as others I’ve tried. I don't like fig, but have to admit this is a fabulous green scent, which is so rare to find without oakmoss. Skipping the lactonic or creamy elements was a good call. This honestly makes Philosykos, The Matcha and Gris Charnel look messy; they are really trying to do too much, and end up smelling spicy and musky. Fig Infusion knows where to stop, and I appreciate its well-done simplicity.

It's an ok scent. Woody note in the base gives a very "cologne" vibe. Hard pass.

I'm a dude and I gotta say, this smells great. I wouldn't wear it since I am A DUDE. But yeah women please buy this. I haven't tried Carnal Flower from Frederic Malle for a long time but trying this reminds me of it. I'd buy my wife this. and the price is great. I tried it from the sample set that I bought to try bois imperial

Finally, a fig I can get behind. I'm not a green fragrance lover, it takes a very specific type of green blend for me to like it.

I tried to like Phillosykos, but I cannot do that one. It smells like straight-up grass on me the entire time. Like the air outside when it's lawn mower day. Fig Infusion is delightful in comparison. Creamy, woody, and not as sharp in the opening.

I tried it on yesterday at a niche store. I am surprised there is no "apple" in the notes breakdown on fragrantica as this is the most prominent note in my opinion. The scent started off as fig but then turned into a fresh green apple scent. I am not sure how i feel about it. I think it needs to be tested again.

Smells like you showered with a fig-tea soap bar. A clean, green and fresh fig similar to Philosykos and quite different from something like Gris Charnel.

عطر Fig Infusion
من دار العطور الفرنسية Essential Parfum
من إبداعات العطَّارة الفرنسية ناتالي لورسون

رائحةٌ ربيعيَّةٌ منعشةٌ مبهجةٌ، نقيَّةٌ معتدلةُ الحلاوة، وكأنَّها قطفةٌ من شجرةِ تينٍ مثمرة، يعانقها اليوسفي الإيطالي مع زهر البرتقال التونسي الناضر، قد مُزِجوا جميعًا بالشاي الأسود السريلانكي والجاوي الفيتنامي وخشب الصندل.

وأرى أن عطر Fig
هو الأكثر إنعاشًا واعتدالًا والأدوم ثباتًا من عطر التين الشهير
Fico di Amalfi
من الدار الإيطالية Acqua di Parma.

ولعل من أسباب نقاء الرائحة استخدام كحول الشمندر، والبعد عن المكونات الصناعية بنسبة كبيرة.

أما عن سهولة التعطُّر به فأراه يصلح للصباح والمساء وفي أكثر الأحوال.

Black tea is the star of this fragrance, while fig fruit plays a complementary supporting role. Although generally unisex, the tea note causes this to lean more masculine with a bitter and fresh green quality. In comparison, Philosykos EDT is a sweeter green, perhaps more feminine, if any of this gender nonsense means anything to you.
Overall uplifting, energetic, and appropriate for work as well as hot days in the Spring and Summer. Longevity is about 4-5 hours on me. Lovely perfume!

A stunning fig sandalwood from Nathalie Lorson, the master of nuanced minimalism, a perfumer you know will provide the most of whatever budget is given to her.
I am very impressed by how confluent and well blended all of the notes feel.

To me it feels like the perfect sweet spot between Hermes Un Jardin En Mediterranee in the way it is fresh and green, but without that overbearing minty sweetness that resembles artificial sweetener, and, suprisingly, BDK Gris Charnel, specifically the tea and sandalwood woody accord without the ambroxan and tonka overload in the base.
Overall I find it closer to the latter, but substantially tarter and greener, lighter, and fresher.
My personal theory is that there is a bit of petitgrain in Fig infusion, specifically mandarin petitgrain, even if unlisted, I get that tart mildly bitter, yet intensely fresh green citrus rind quality in there, linking the sparkly top notes to what feels like a fig leaf accord, to the sweet fig fruitiness that develops over time. In fact at times it feels equally green mandarin, as it does fig and sandalwood.

Fig infusion feels perfectly zen in a way, the right amount fruit, citrus, woods, greenness, musk, never spilling over, providing a consistent joyful unisex feelgood vibe you just won't ever get bored of. I actually prefer this to both of the fragrances mentioned above.

Fragrance number 6 out of the 8 from the line
And it’s a marvel
I can easily say I found the alternative to philosycos
It’s very close to it definitely both had the prominent fig accord
Fresh and green I really enjoyed it very much
What actually made it even better is the performance
It’s one of the rare ones from this brand that actually performs very well
If you are looking to get a better deal than diptiques this is the one

I'm trying to figure out the nature of the fig fruit in this fragrance. "Fruity" is the top listed accord but it smells more bitter green to me. Maybe it is a green, unripe fig note, but in that case I don't consider it fruity as much as "green". Or maybe it is the black tea and orange blossom notes contributing to the green, bitter accord. I need to find me some actual fig fruit in a grocery store to learn more about it. I have a bunch of fig-oriented fragrances, but the only fig I've smelled outside a fragrance is fig spread and Fig Newtons. I need to get my nose on real, raw figs. Are there unripe/green fig notes and ripe/sweet fig notes in perfumery? Because I would reverse positioning of the "fruity" and "green" accords listed on this page for this fragrance. The green is slightly bitter, reminding me of the fig bark and fig leaf notes in Dior Dune Pour Homme. Dune is photorealistically like climbing an actual fig tree, snapping open a branch and smelling the moist, bitter green of the interior. Now, Fig Infusion is not that astringent, but it does bring it to my mind. Fig Infusion is pretty good, but not my favorite among my fig scent collection. I like Acqua di Parma Blue Mediterraneo Fico di Amalfi/Ferrari Noble Fig, Dyptique Philosykos better. And since I like the fruit part of the fig experience the most, I even like the sweet fig fruit nectar of Imaginary Authors Yesterday Haze, and even Dolce&Gabbana K EDP more. I'm wearing D.S. Durga Debaser right now and I like that better, because the fig is sweet and fruity, and is especially well-framed within the sweet coconut note and creamy lactonic accord.

Different take on fig than Philosykos and Philosyos- inspired fragrances. Instead of the creamy fig milk and green fig leaf this only has the juicy fruit. The opening is dominated by fig supported by sweet citrus. It's incredibly juicy and fresh smelling. After the opening evaporates so does the fig. After 30 minutes this is a woody tea fragrance: black tea and orange blossoms/freesia and a Santal 33 like drydown of sandal and cedar wood.

This fragrance opens as a juicy unisex but to my nose it turns quite masculine in the centre and drydown. I love this on my husband particularly in the summer.

Does anyone sensitive to Iso E Super have any experience with this fragrance? Really interested in purchasing but I'm worried it will give me headaches.

I have been surprised by how much I am enjoying this fragrance. It took me a couple of days to be convinced, but now I am spraying with abandon. It has a nice balance between fig and woods, fresh and warmth. Very easy to wear.

Opens up creamy and well, figgy. After a while a bit of fresh citrus and benzoin comes into play. Nice scent both sexes can pull off but is more feminine.

Similar to Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi, but a bit more lactonic. I get this sort of oily note, like fresh coconut meat/milk. It dries down to something more fresh, green, and slightly bitter. I'm discovering fig perfumes just aren't my thing, but this seems like it would be great for those who love fresh, creamy summer scents.

A great great fig, it belongs somewhere between Phylosikos and The Noir 29, it's closer to Noir, but Noir is a bit better in terms of quallity.
Green nuance from Phylosikos is presented in the opening while into drydown turns into full blood woodie scent with huge dose of norlymbanol but i don't mind because it sits well close to fig.
For this price point, this is the best and this house deserves much more hype.
Another masterpiece maded by Nathalie Lorson,
Bravo!

Mostly fig on the opening, then settles to tea and sandalwood. The fig here is on the green side, not the oozing sweet, leafy, or milky notes most commonly encountered in todays perfumes. I just rid my collection of EA Green Tea Fig, which seems like a college try in comparison.

I find myself a little surprised that Essential Parfums haven't received more attention. Surprised, because I've been consistently impressed at their ethos, approach, and offerings.

The focus on having the perfumer's name up front and showcased, the 10ml sizing available for each of their fragrances, the price (!) - they're now firmly on my shortlist of brands that I'll actively go out of my way to sample. I've also had some pretty consistent hits with them - I've liked almost every fragrance they've produced, and outright loved a few.

This is definitely more in the "like" category than outright love, but it's a like that's so easy to wear that I'm sure I'll end up draining a bottle regardless.


It's fig, but paired with a clean, fresh, orange blossom / citrus at first. That burst of citrus and blossom does subside after a few moments to settle into something a little more restrained - it pulls figgy-citrus-floral on my skin, with a woody, slightly tannic, slightly bitter note sitting at the base (likely the black tea). It's something of a shapeshifter in that it seems to blur into skin as an "aura" - while it's not musky by any means and it doesn't hit the traditional notes, the crowd that enjoys the "your skin but better" fragrances will probably also appreciate this.

It doesn't sit as a "green" fragrance on me and I would say it's actually a few degrees removed from some of the more popular figs in that category (despite sharing said main starring note). For comparison:

Philosykos (EDT) by Diptyque maintains a clean-fig underlay, but leans much, much more freshly-snapped-twig and leaf green. That greenness paints a much more natural, scenic representation of a fig - it's a fig tree and surrounds, outdoors under dappled shade.

Debaser by D.S. & Durga takes a fig and pairs it with a clean, warm, slightly woody coconut underlay. A slightly damp dark green note sits alongside it all, but it doesn't evoke the same kind of "overall imagery" that Philosykos conjures - it's definitely fig, but this one has been transplanted to a humid alleyway in urban South East Asia.

Fig Infusion is a fig inside a sunlit, modern, upscale tea parlour. A little more clean, a little more divorced from nature, a few more hard edges - but smooth and impressive nonetheless.

Casual, yet elegant. Comfortable, yet professional enough to wear at work. A really impressive showing from this house, and something that'd serve really well as an "everyday" scent.


(On paper, the underlying bitter note is significantly tuned down, and the florals - with, yes, a hint of freesia - are turned up a little. As always, sample first!)

Bright, fresh and green fig in the opening.
It's uplifting, with a slight green tea touch.
It's linear, but the scent goes in a more floral direction towards the mid and drydown.

I like it, but the fig is really present only in the opening to my nose.

I’m loving this fig fragrance. It’s comfy and fresh

Really good Fig perfume. Very good and lasting long but not as much as Bois Imperial. But this is a beast for hot summer and spring days. Opening as grapping fresh fig from tree... loved it!

Personally a favorite. It's got this "good feeling" when you wear it. The fig is VERY prominent upon first spray and then fades into creamy powder goodness. I'd say that this should be worn in early spring all the way into summer, but I'd hold off on hot days as I'd imagine it's get to be too much for some people. Realistic, natural, smooth, a great buy for a great price.

Very soft powder, a light fruitiness, and a fresh airiness. It's bright and uplifting with a gentle sweetness, powdery yet not dry. Unfortunately I've never smelled fresh figs, but it smells like (what I imagine to be) freshly sliced figs infused with tea. On a 1-10 scale where 1 is pure powder and 10 is pure liquid, this is like a 4.5.

The powderiness is not prominent, it's more fluffy and cohesive like a clean white musk cloud. It's very bright, however, with a noticeable "bite" to it reminiscent of the almond/heliotrope notes in fragrances that heavily feature them. (e.g. Dior Hypnotic Poison, PdM Pegasus, Prada Infusion Amande.) Probably some combination of the orange citruses, spicy aspects of the freesia, and sawdust from the woody base imparting a light effervescence that pops from the skin. Surprisingly strong on initial spray settles to more moderate projection over 4-5hr, longevity 12hr+. Excellent performance for a freshie and the best fragrance Essential has put out so far.

I sometimes have a hard time with fig notes in perfume bc I find it pulling almost a bit too creamy for my liking in fruity/green kinda fragrances, but I really like this one. It's juicy and fresh with that citrusy accord from the mandarin orange which balance the more lactonic feel of the fig really well. I love the dry down where I pick up sandalwood and black tea.

Received a sample of Fig Infusion. The fig is really dominant, in the background some light citrus and woody vetiver. This is a really fig forward fragrance, I'm not a big fan. Leans also more feminine in my opinion.

Just bought this perfume and i wear for two days now. The fig note is very prominent in this and it is a very realistic fig note with some citrus notes in the top notes. Then i get the tea notes with some woody base notes but fig is still the main player in all stages. There is freesia note in this also along with orange blossom. Also it has some other notes like vetiver as the nose Nathalie Lorson says.
