by Jo Malone London
Fig & Lotus Flower by Jo Malone London is a light, green, and aquatic fragrance featuring fig and lotus notes. It opens with a crisp, fruity fig that quickly evolves into a fresh, green, and slightly sour aroma, with the lotus adding a watery, floral softness. The scent leans more toward a unisex profile, often described as crisp, clean, and slightly minty, with some noting it evokes a spa-like or poolside freshness. Performance is moderate—lasting around 3 to 4 hours on skin, with sillage that’s primarily intimate to moderate. On some, it can feel unbalanced, with the green fig notes emerging strongly and the sweetness fading quickly. While some appreciate its refreshing, light feel, especially in warm weather, others find it underwhelming, overly green, or cloying after the initial phase. It might not be ideal for those seeking a stronger, sweet fig scent or better longevity, but it suits those drawn to clean, airy, contemporary scents that are more about mood and atmosphere than olfactory intensity.
