In this theme
The fig note is a captivating theme in perfumery, offering a rich blend of milky sweetness, creamy undertones, and bitter green nuances. Its subtle complexity is enchanting, often harmonized with bright citrus notes, exotic florals, and other green elements.
A fruit with ancient origins, figs have been cherished for thousands of years, indeed the early Christians carved figs as symbols of the Garden of Eden. Native to the Middle East and Mediterranean, figs gained prominence in modern perfumery when, in 1994, L’Artisan Parfumeur released Premier Figuier.
Perfumers often turn to aroma chemicals and other natural materials to mimic and explore the differing tones of fig - from the fruit, the leaves, and even the wood of the fig tree. Fig leaves are often depicted by such notes as galbanum creating that fresh, green vibe that evokes a cool, shady atmosphere, maybe adding citrus notes to brighten. While the fruit’s jammy aroma can be conjured using vanilla or sweet florals like jasmine. Additionally, coconut and lactonic notes can replicate that creamy, milky aspect of the fig.
Be it sweet and juicy or fresh and savory this selection should delight your inquisitive senses as you become fully acquainted with all the aspects and ways fig is crafted into fragrance.
