Fig

Fig in perfume covers the whole tree: the sweet, seedy flesh of the fruit and the green, milky scent of the leaves and sap. The leaves smell sappy and green with a creamy, coconut-like softness, while the fruit adds a ripe, honeyed sweetness. Because figs give no oil of their own, perfumers recreate the note from aroma molecules and green accords. Fig works with woods, citrus and vanilla, and its green side makes sweet blends feel natural and sun-warmed. It suits both fresh Mediterranean fragrances and richer, creamy ones.

In this range it sits mostly in the top, with a share in the heart, bringing a green, milky fig-leaf freshness over sweeter fruit.
