WOW! So, this is my first review here on fragrantica and I have to say, this is such a beautiful fragrance. I spent a lot of time walking through Sephora with my bestie smelling Hermes Jardin En Mediteranee. As much as I adore this lovely smelling, I-just-walked-through-a-dewy-forest fragrance, I couldn’t live with the idea of spending that much money on something that fades off my skin so quickly.
At the same time, I always stopped to smell Cashmere Fig while walking through BBW. Never considered how similar the two are until I read these other reviews! I think that the fig is definitely sweeter compared to HJEM. The drydown is less nutty and more a warm, comforting woods. There’s a definite soft, green tea note present that is cradled by mimosa and lily.Cozy, slightly sweet yet exotic smelling. There’s a slight spa-like element in that it is very calming yet uplifting.
When I put this on I feel like I could be transported to a tea house beach side. You can hear the waves collapse against the shore in a continuous push and pull of mother nature. The earthiness of Cashmere Fig makes you feel rooted. It’s earthy in a delicate way. You feel the grass between your toes. You can see dew drops resting on the leaves. You take a deep breath and inhale the hazy,milky waves of mimosas and lilies that are beginning to bloom. That sweetness mingles with the cold, green tea you hold in a relaxed hand. A complimentary warm, sweet fig meshes with a soft, woodsy musk that reminds me of a forest on a hot summer’s day.
This is such a classy, complex yet simple fragrance and not terribly popular. So you won’t be smelling it on everyone around you. 10/10

If you like Bvlgari Au the Rouge, you’ll probably like this. They smell really similar, and to be honest I think I prefer this to the Bvlgari because the mist form of this scent lasts just as long as Au the rouge.
This is really Really nice, almost unisex. I’m horrible at describing scents, but like kristamb said, it does have a tea scent. It’s a nice and cool scent for almost any season in my opinion.

I love this!! I bought the body spray and like everyone else says , to my suprise, it sticks around for a pretty long time. 4 hours so far. Sillage is an arms length. At first spray it is sweet, warm, fig. Reminds me of the fig in womanity. Within minutes it morphs into a cedar and fig with some fruity nuance. Imo it smells like balenciaga rosabotanica but sweeter and some fruit thrown in. If you don’t like cedar you might not enjoy this. I think it’s like a breath of fresh air! The opening is warm and the middle is cooler and it dries down to a warm woods. I wish this was made in a perfume concentration. I love to layer and I’m going to try layering it with Rosabotanica and I was thinking it would be beautiful with Diptyque philosykos.

Terrific dupe for Hermes Jardin En Mediteranee. A little like Balenciaga Rosabotnica, but fruitier here. I only tried the body spray however. It actually stuck around. A good buy for the price.

This is a great clean scent! It reminds me of my unisex scent from Bvlgari, Au The Rouge. I get a tea scent from this, although there are no notes for tea in this one. It’s a nice, usual scent…More feminine than masculine to me, but I have always been a fan of unisex scents. Worth a try! BBW outlet store currently (2017) has all of CO Bigelow’s unisex scents and products on sale for $5 each!!

I bought this in a body spray for my boyfriend, who does not like the typical “cologne” shaving cream-like/heavy musk kind of smell (and frankly neither do I). I ended up wearing it around the mall after buying it and I keep sniffing it! It’s hard to explain what it smells like other than warmth, winter, and almost some Christmasy elements in there. He loves it too and now we both wear it! It is certainly sweet, but to me it isn’t gourmand. It’s beautifully unisex. For a body spray it seems to have decent longevity on the skin and clothes.
