By the editors · 2 min readFig leaf opens green and milky, with cardamom and bergamot adding a dry-spiced lift. The fig here reads more leaf than fruit — papery, slightly bitter — and that texture carries into the heart, where jasmine and osmanthus broaden the floral tone without adding sweetness.
The base turns soft and sugared: tonka bean and benzoin warm against sandalwood, with amber holding the structure and musk smoothing the dry-down. The arc moves from cool-green to warm-balsamic over several hours, and the transition is gradual rather than abrupt. A composition that wears like a slow shift in light through a window.
