The heart is unusual for the category: lavender alongside fig. Lavender lifts the composition aromatic rather than gourmand, and fig adds a milky-green sweetness that keeps the fruit theme alive without piling on.
The base of vanilla and patchouli is small and supportive — earthy-sweet, a quiet anchor rather than a payoff. The whole thing reads versatile and fairly linear, projecting moderately for a few hours then settling close. Best in spring and warm office weather, where the fruit-and-lavender opening flatters short-sleeve clothing more than heavy coats.
