Figuier by James Heeley delivers a hyperrealistic, green fig experience that feels like walking through a fig orchard in full bloom. The scent opens with a sharp, watery green note—fresh grass and rhubarb—that evokes a damp, aromatic forest floor. This resolves into a crisp, slightly astringent core of fig leaf and sap, much more herbal and earthy than sweet or fruity. The fragrance evolves with a subtle, sun-kissed coconut presence that isn’t cloying or synthetic, blending seamlessly into a dry, woody base of virgin cedar and faint hay. While some note a melon-like sweetness, others interpret it as the gummy, milky texture of real fig pulp. The scent is bright, crisp, and inherently unisex, making it ideal for daytime use in spring and summer. Few stop to notice its subtle sillage, and longevity is moderate—most report it lasting through the day with a clean, non-invasive presence.
