It doesn't settle into the typical Mediterranean fig reverie. Instead, leather enters quickly, pulling the composition into something drier and more angular, while lavender and thyme add an herbal coolness that keeps the sweetness in check.
As it develops, sandalwood rounds out the edges without drowning the fig entirely. The base brings tonka and vanilla, but they're restrained, more about smoothing the leather than turning gourmand. The overall effect is fig viewed through an unconventional lens—less fruit basket, more study in contrasts between green sharpness and warm skin.
This suits someone who finds traditional fig fragrances too placid or photorealistic. It wears close but present, neither loud nor timid, with enough complexity to keep you noticing new facets hours in.
