By the editors · 2 min readMarc Fanton d'Andon sets the Garden of Eden's defining fruit at the center of a deliberately spare composition. The opening is coolly green — citrus and fresh green notes rendering the approach unhurried, botanical, as though the tree in question is still some distance away. Black fig arrives in the heart with its characteristic duality: both sweetly ripe and earthily vegetal, the fig fruit and the fig leaf occupying the same register. The base carries this further into the tree itself — the fig tree note rendering the milky-sap, bark dimension — before sandalwood and patchouli ground it in earthen warmth. A composed, intellectually clear portrait. No ornamentation beyond what the conceit requires.
