I love all kinds of fig fragrances, so this “ghostly” fig has been high on my test list for quite a while. And I have to say, I really admire the way it succeeds in this strange but fascinating concept of conjuring up an echo of “fig” with notes that have nothing to do with the fig plant itself. In fact, I’ve come to appreciate it more and more as I used up my sample – I went from being a little put off and even slightly shocked at the bitter green aromatic opening and softer but still very unique drydown, to admiring the originality and boldness at work here. There’s no sweetness at all to this one, if anything it’s rather salty on top of being bitter, but somehow it works. And although I haven’t quite made it from admiration to actual enjoyment of this weirdo Figue Amère yet, I think I might, if I keep exploring it. And I’m definitely fascinated enough to want to do that! If it’s really discontinued, that’s a shame. It would be great for early fall, I think.

I loved everything about this perfume indeed. Some people say that they couldnt find any fig in here but I can say it is very fig-ish for me. But not sweet and delicous fig, this is like green dewy garden filled by fig leves. Unlike other people, it is long lasting on my skin with average sillage.
I really dont understand why Miller Harris always stopping production their some perfumes like La Pluie. Sadly, this is also discontinoud!

I liked it on paper but I didn’t on my skin. It starts off with a transparent, breezy white floral Lily accord reminding me of “Entre ciel et mer” from Pierre Guillaume and settles down to a earthy, warm, and arid cedar wood note with a slight touch of fig. Nice composition but I would have liked the floral notes to last a little bit longer.

Order it blindly base on reviews here. I couldn’t get the fig at all. Am totally bump blind buying this. It just smell pungent to me.
Edit 13 July 2016
Am really greatly disappointed at this highly rave about scent. I dun get the fig at all, just a big splash of sharp amber incense, very masculine. Middle note is only acceptable but still no appearance of fig.

A few of my neighbors have fig trees in their yards.When I walk by sometimes, I pull a leaf from one of the trees, break it open and inhale the fresh, green, bitter aroma. I love that smell. Figue Amere has captured that fresh scent. It’s the type of fig fragrance I’ve been looking for. Many of the figs frags I’ve had in the past were either very sweet, like a fig jam or had accompanying notes like caviar (I see you, Womanity) or coconut. These are lovely in their own right but I wanted an earthy fig. Fig Amere is dry, bitter, astrigent, fresh and green. I love it!

I want to love this but sadly those “aromatics” turn into an old fashioned “barbershop” smell on my skin.

Growing up, my parents had a couple of fig trees in their backyard and every year when the figs bloomed I would go out and help to pick them. When you pulled the fig off the tree there would be a white, milky fluid where you broke the fig top away from the branch, and if you put your nose up to that fig top it was very fragrant and smelled just like Miller Harris Figue Amere. In this fragrance you can also smell balsam fir and cedar which blend together nicely with the fig smell. There is no sweetness at all making this lightly scented perfume a unisex fragrance. I really like this scent, it’s cozy and has lots of good memories of my parent’s backyard and the annual fig indulgement and overdosing that occurred for months at a time.

Normally I can’t stand wearing a fig centered scent coz it gets too cloying and oftentimes coconuty on my skin. However, Figue Amere is a modified fig that is mixed with green leaves and tree barks, rendering an effect similar to burning blended essential oils common in aromatherapy

Figue amere is one of my mum’s favorite perfumes . It is a familiar smell for me , fig is everywhere in Greece during summer . Figue Amere starts with a fruity essence , like smelling the flesh of the fruit . After a while it changes dramatically , the fruity part is gone replaced by a salty , woody note , reminiscent of fig leaves instead of the actual fruit . I couldn’t identify any other notes , to me it’s all about fig leaves and a salty , breezy background . That’s a fig tree next to the coast , wind is blowing , fig leaves floating on the waves ..

Sea salt fig on the Mediterranean coast with a grove of cedars near by or an Italian amaro based around figs. Figue amere is one of those incredibly evocative fragrances for me I am immediately taken to a dry arid Mediterranean coast line with cedar, fig trees, and the salty tang of sea air. The bitter green herbaciousness making it so different from the usual green fig scent.

Very strong for a few minutes but it doesn’t last long at that intensity. It dries down to something very nice but somewhat indistinct. Don’t expect any kind of strong fig beyond the top notes, and while I like the scent I could understand how some might call it “perfumey.” I’d also say it is on the feminine side of things, but not too far. However, it’s reasonably natural smelling and I could see how many would enjoy it during the spring. I’d call it an impression of fig rather than literal fig. While I don’t mind having 50 ml in my collection I also would have no issue swapping it off for something I’m seeking.

The first few minutes is fruity sweet fig, but in minutes the greens come out, the fir and the wood. Not getting any citrus at all. I do get some floral notes but its not in the foreground. I’d say if fig is your love its a good one to try.
santechnick – :
Gentle, pleasant and convincing fig. It seems that everything here is about moderation: not too sweet, not too fruity, not too bitter, despite its name. Definitely more feminine than masculine, with fairly decent staying power.
serghs – :
It’s quite pleasant. It smells exactly like the skin of a plum tastes and then that goes and it smells like good quality seaweed bubble bath. It takes you to the sea- somewhere rocky like Capri and then comes in with suntan lotion and vanilla ice cream.
pumants – :
Great masculine fragrance! The fig is not lush and sweet, it is wrapped in green/woody amber and smells to me like a refined man’s scent. Also suitable for ladies though.
BessePayoxtax – :
I find the opening of Miller Harris FIGUE AMERE to be rather figgy, but not overly so, as I sometimes find self-proclaimed fig perfumes to be. In fact, FIGUE AMERE may be the perfect choice for those who are suffering fig fatigue because it has enough greenishness and woodiness from forest-derived notes such as fir to make this seem much more like a woody aromatic fragrance than a fig frag.
I rather like FIGUE AMERE. It is complex and subtle in its figishness, which I have not found in too many fig perfumes to date. For those who wish to smell all fig all the time, this composition may seem too weak, but for those who have grown tired of the fig fad, this is a nice departure from the more literal offerings bearing the fig name tag.
roma13 – :
Figue Amere opens with a bitter green accord that’s pretty interesting. Fig leaves, maybe some galbanum…Unfortunately it turns to a floral-ambery base that’s not particularly refined and of much less interest. If you like floral-fig fragrances you can have plenty of better options out there (i.e. Jardins De Kerylos, Philosykos, Premier Figuer, Figuier, Ninfeo Mio..).
Rating: 4/10

This is a wonderful smell that smells strongly of fig for the first hour or so. It would be perfect for summer if the fig didn’t disappear after than hour and a simple, musky smell took its place for another hour or so, before this completely disappeared from my skin.

The first time i tested it i liked it very much although the name was way misleading, ther was nothing figgy about it.What it tried to be and succeded was a bitter(amere) scent.In a distorted way the bergamot on the beggining is the most bitter part and narcissus that has been treated with musk and a bit of salt on the side. Still in the end it became warmer with a trace of vanilla and wood.i start to unveil with each wearing of the sample the raw vulnerability of betrayal of the whole project, cause i believe in the sheer talent of Lyn Harris, and this acerbic excersise seems to me that it should’ nt be allowed to leave the lab.
