Fleur de Figuier Eau de Parfum
by Roger & Gallet
Fleur de Figuier Eau de Parfum by Roger & Gallet delivers a sweet, gourmand fig fragrance with a notable presence of patchouli and green fig leaf notes. It opens with a juicy, slightly syrupy fig accord, enhanced by fresh fig leaf and a moderate sweetness that avoids cloying. Over time, the scent mellows into a warm, woody-musky base with a hint of earthy patchouli and a powdery muskiness that adds depth. The overall impression is soft, feminine, and summery—ideal for daytime wear in spring and summer. While some users find the fragrance barely resembling true fig, others praise its natural-feeling sweetness and fresh green accords. The performance is moderate in both longevity and sillage, with most reporting around 8 hours of wear, and no significant trail despite occasional complaints about sillage being too faint for some. It stands as a gentle, seemingly understated yet subtly intense fig-based Chypre poured into an EDP format with a creamy, gourmand-toffee nuance from the patchouli.
Pros
- +A fresh, naturally-feeling fig accord with green fig leaf notes that avoids synthetic or candy tartness
- +The sweet gourmand heart is balanced by patchouli and woody base notes, adding warmth and depth
- +Performs reasonably well for an EDP, especially compared to standard Roger & Gallet scents, with average longevity and moderate sillage
Cons
- −Lack of fig clarity and presence for those expecting a true fig-centric fragrance
- −Patchouli and musk can dominate, potentially alienating those sensitive to earthy or gourmand notes
- −Longevity and sillage are inconsistent—some users find it fading quickly, though others report decent duration
