Feuille de Figuier is a清新, aromatic eau fraîche that captures the essence of a fig leaf in a natural, restrained way. It begins with a crisp, slightly sweet citrus burst—bergamot and mandarin orange—that quickly gives way to a realistic, green fig leaf accord. This green core is balanced with subtle woody and aromatic depth from galbanum, cedar, and benzoin, creating a light, structured scent with a fresh, slightly herbal character. The sillage is soft and intimate, not overwhelming, and the perfume lingers moderately, with some users noting it lasts comfortably for several hours—quite impressive for an eau de cologne. While the initial citrus sweetness is brief, the core green fig leaf smell remains distinct and true to life, evoking a garden or orchard in spring or summer. Some users note a subtle, delicate milkiness and a faint tea-like quality, adding nuance to the otherwise straightforward green profile.
