I love this. Although there is an initial herby, green smell, this quickly gives way to warmer, more earthy tones. I am not a fan of strong, flowery, powdery smelling perfumes and always seek...

This is very green at first, it smells like freshly mown grass and wet earth before the creamy coconutty fig takes over. I prefer to the l'artisan fig fragrances but whilst its nice I don't love...

Philosykos is a comfy fragrance. The soft milky drydown is superb, but the topnotes are very sweet.

Summer staple. *Very* green, almost abrasively so at first. Convincing, sharp, underripe fig followed by juicy leaves - tinged with milkiness (I get no coconut, thank heaven), almost underripe...

This fragrance was my first fragrance coup de foudre - aged 19, alone for the summer in Berlin, I ventured into a tiny beauty boutique full of diptyque, bumble & bumble hair-cair & nars make-up. ...

I agree with the other reviewers, it does smell like real figs when first sprayed, and I loved the fragrance straight out of the bottle. Unfortunally, this scent does not agree with my body...

This scent is so lovely. I love the smell of fig, and I have tried a number of fig scents only to find that most of them get powdery on my skin. This one stays a very true, rich, warm fig (after...

I live in Greece and I've spent all my summers near fig trees. I have always adored the smell of the tree and the fruit. So I was excited with the fig perfume idea. First I smelled L'Artisan which...

I love fig scents. Unfortunately I've never been to Greece or the Mediterranean where there are fields/orchards full of fig trees but when I smell fig fragrances I can imagine how beautiful the...

This is the one that lured me into perfume-junkiedom - before smelling this I used to wear whatever I'd been given for Christmas or my birthday (unless I hated it obviously). Then I was given a...

This perfume smells unbelievably fresh and green. The first few minutes are the best because they're heavy on the green and light on the sweet. The dry down is a touch sweeter, but with a gorgeous...

This is a perfect summer fragrance! So fresh and evocative! Alas, it fades in a few hours but I don't mind reapplying.

I love figs. My family has both the dark brown misson type black figs and the light green figs growing around the house. Growing up I often had to help prune, de-leaf and wrap up the figs for...

Oh boy... Where do I start? I got a sample of this and liked it alot. So, I bought a bottle online. Maybe this is a bad batch or something, but this smells like a burning heating element that...

I didn't like it first. It was too green, too dry, too masculine at the beginning, too powdery later. Then I smelled it on my sister and it was wonderful. Fresh, unique, sweet and dry at the same...

Admittedly, I don't like this until the dry down. So I bear with it for the first 15 minutes. After that, I get this lovely, ever so slightly green fruity fig scent. I'm not absolutely "in...

I tried a sample of this over a three-day period. It smelled too green, bitter, and it never did dry down to anything pleasant.

Gotta say I think this is probably my HG since I still reach for it after seven years of aquaintance. It worked wonders romantically and it's still my DH's fave. It's distinct, not obviously figgy...
