by KKW Fragrance
Rare Fig by KKW Fragrance is a complex, green, and woody scent that leans strongly unisex, with a sharp citrus and vegetal opening reminiscent of dried fig leaf, green tea, and celery. While it promises a fig-forward experience, many users report it lacks sweetness and fruitiness, settling instead into a dry, earthy, and somewhat bitter profile reminiscent of chamomile, vetiver, and cedar. It evolves through a sharp, green citrus phase into a soft, woody dry down with a muted sweetness—similar to the undercurrent of a high-end, minimalist fragrance. The performance is moderate to weak in longevity, though some wearers find it more lasting when oversprayed. It excels as a spring or summer scent, particularly in a botanical or urban garden setting, and offers excellent value, especially when purchased on sale. The bottle’s design is frequently praised for its elegance and vessel-like function.
