My first full-bottle Aftelier purchase. To me this is spicy and warm but I can’t find the “fig.” Perhaps I haven’t been exposed to the right variety of fig? I love wearing this in winter. It’s so mysterious – I say it is spicy, yet I can’t pick out a single spice, not cinnamon, not cardamom, not pepper, etc. This mystifying quality has me coming back to smell it again and again every time I wear it. One of my favorites!

213) grandiose abstraction
quand j’essaye un parfum comme celui-la Je comprend vraiment pourquoi les connaisseurs râlent tellement sur les restrictions européennes.
La densité et la texture apporté au parfum par les muscs-Civet et Castoreum- est tout simplement sublime. Avec une base pareil il est impossible de ne pas faire une merveille.
La figue fait une petite apparition en tête mais toute la composition tourne autour du duo fir balsam et jasmin, relevé de poivre rose.
C’est donc plutôt une figue abstraite, très mure qui explose entre les doigts et dégouline de sirop.
Ce parfum est vraiment grandiose mais il me rappel un léger Tropic of Capricorn par Olympic Orchids plus balsamique.
A essayer absolument néanmoins.
when I try a perfume like that I really understand why the connoisseurs grumble so much about European restrictions.
Density and texture brought by the musks -civet and Castoreum- are simply sublime. With such a basis it is impossible not to be a marvel.
A tinny fig note makes a small appearance in opening but the whole composition revolves around the duo fir balsam and jasmine, topped with rose.
It is rather an abstract fig, very ripe bursting between the fingers and dripping with syrup.
This fragrance is really great, it reminds me strongly a light Tropic of Capricorn by Olympic Orchids more balsamic.
Try it though.

This does not smell like fig. I have read all of Mandy Aftel’s books and am a big fan. But I have to say, that I hate this one. It does have this bitter, poopy smell, must be from the African stone. There is also a syrupy booze combined with a slight sour smell from the yuzu. Just a bad, bad combination. I am trying to force myself to stick around for the jasmine heart, but it is really becoming unbearable. There is a strong medicinal bitterness kind of like the taste when you chew up an aspirin. Very unpleasant, must scrub off now! I don’t know how anyone would want to smell like this. Why Mandy, why?
