Truth be told I’m very fond of figgy scents, my favourite is still Philosykos EDT but Feuille de Figuier is a lovely little treat as well.
The opening is very sparkly and lively, smells like someone is scratching green lemon peels behind your back.
This stage lasts a couple of minutes and then the fig leaves kick in – they smell realistic, toasty and shady at the same time. At this point it makes me want to find the nearest fig tree and take a nap underneath, so relaxing.
I also find the galbanum-centered drydown very interesting, this way the fragrance remains green and relatively unsweetened which is quite a refined old school approach in my opinion. The overall effect and structure of Feuille de figuier give the impression of a sheer chypre.
Sillage is soft and lasts a couple of hours but it’s described as “fragrant wellbeing water”, meant to be reapplied and refresh the wearer. In comparison to Fleur de Figuier this is less sweet and fruity. Even more different than Fleur de figuier EDP which is basically a fruitchouli.
I’ve been very happy with this new Roger & Gallet offering. If you happen to enjoy fig leaves definitely give it a chance.

Orange blossoms with a side of fig at least to my nose. More fleur than feuille after all.

I can’t wait to smell this new Roger et Gallet. I felt in love with Fleur de figuier an Gingembre intense. Feuille de figuier sound perfect for summertime.

Can’t wait to test this one.
EDIT: so finally I tested it today and it is a really nice and uplifting fig tree eau. Creamy and joyfull but elegant and not too sweet, quite green and woody. Full bottle worthy, it goes directly into my shopping list for next summer 🙂
