Citron Fig
by Clean
Citron Fig presents a bright, citrus-forward opening with lemon, ginger, and mint, creating a crisp, refreshing sensation that many find reminiscent of cleaning products or spa environments. The heart reveals a subtle warmth from cardamom and copaiba balm, while the drydown settles into a soft, woody-musky base of sandalwood and cedar. The fig note is fleeting and often undetectable, leading to frequent comments about the scent lacking fig or sweetness, instead fading quickly into a faintly soapy, herbal drydown. Despite its limited sillage and moderate longevity, the fragrance is praised for its simplicity and ease of wear during daytime summer moments, making it a niche fit for those seeking a subtle, clean, neutral scent for gym sessions, office environments, or warm climates where a light, non-intrusive aroma is preferred.
Pros
- +A fresh, light, and uncomplicated scent that works well as a daytime summer fragrance, especially in hot and humid conditions.
- +The initial citrus and spicy accords are bright and appealing to those who enjoy sharp, clean-burning scents.
- +No strong fig note which may be a relief for those who dislike synthetic fig or expect a more prominent fruit profile
Cons
- −Fails to deliver on the fig theme, with most users reporting it to be faint or entirely absent.
- −Lack of longevity and sillage—most wearers note it lasts under four hours and projects minimally.
- −Frequently described as soapy, chemical, or synthetic, with comparisons to cleaning products or citronella candles
