By the editors · 2 min readFig leaf opens with a sharp, green-lactonic character — slightly milky, slightly vegetal, with a raw edge that reads more like the tree than the fruit. It is recognisably fig without being sweet.
Lavender enters in the heart and softens the composition considerably, introducing a herbal, slightly aromatic quality that bridges the green fig accord and the woody base. The pairing is grounding rather than floral.
Sandalwood and cedar dry down clean and smooth, providing structure without adding much warmth. The overall effect is a cool, green-woody fragrance where the fig leaf remains identifiable throughout. Understated and unisex, sitting closer to nature than to the perfume counter.
