Figues & Agrumes
by Lancôme
Figues & Agrumes opens with a sharp, green fig note that evokes crushed leaves and citrus rind, creating a crisp, slightly bitter freshness. Over time, the fragrance unfolds into a soft, ethereal floral heart dominated by jasmine, which provides depth and a delicate powdery texture. The drydown reveals a faintly sweet and musky core that lingers with moderate sillage, giving it a refined, almost noble presence. While some experience it as a refreshing summer citrus-sorbet fig with floral support, others report it turning into a generic grape Kool-Aid-like impression or a vaguely soapy, indistinct floral scent. The longevity is strong, lasting up to 10 hours, and it performs best in warm weather, especially during spring and summer. Its projection is moderate to strong, making it suitable for daywear, particularly in warm climates.
