By the editors · 2 min readFig leaf opens with a green, slightly milky character — the distinctive cool-green signature of fig leaf rather than ripe fruit, giving the opening a vegetal-creamy duality.
Fig sits at the heart, fleshing out the opening with a riper, lactonic fruitiness. The transition is seamless: leaf into fruit, both reading from the same plant. Development stays focused and unhurried.
Tonka bean, sandalwood, and cedar form the base. Tonka adds soft sweetness, sandalwood lends creamy woody depth, and cedar contributes dryness preventing the composition from drifting too gourmand. The overall impression is a clean fig with a soft woody-balsamic tail. Warm-weather daytime wear suits it; sillage stays moderate, fig signature persisting into the drydown.
