Description
“Conjures up a picture of spring and summer on the Mediterranean and the powerful, unleashed green that gives life to nature by responding to this with timeless elegance, freshness and softness.
A beautiful composition of green notes gathered in various iridescent shades: from the earthy power of delicate roots to the rich foliage of majestic trees. The heart beats for its protagonist, the fig, which with its characteristic fruity-green aroma tantalizes both nos and palate at the same time. New shades of green are brought by conifers and are flanked by herbaceous lavender. Above it all the fig sits enthroned with an almost minty appearing aureole. Cedar and sandalwood keep this explosion of life and thoughfully in check. The fragrance creation “Fleur de Figuier” pays homage to the warm season in the Mediterranean by responding to this with timeless elegance, freshness and softness.” – a note from the brand.

Lovely fig leaves. Reminds me alot of Hermes Un Jardin En Mediterranee, perhaps bcz of the dominant fig leaf note in both. I find this one more beautiful than Hermes as I can feel some bitter almond note as well. However, the longevity is just as bad as for Hermes.
Scent: 8.5/10
Longevity: 6/10

I was comparing this one and philosykos hand by hand.
Not everything with “figuier” in its name has a fig notes. Compare with philosykos, the fig accord in this one is barely noticeable. What’s left is just a boneless floral fruity smell. Its drying-down turns synthetic milky, with a faint woody undertone.
Not the best production from Chabaud.

Fig is one of my favorite fruits. I like to eat it as much as I like to wear it. I like it year round, but it is especially great for summer. I wish I could try this scent.

Beautiful fresh fig perfume, captured quite realisticly…the tree, leaves, milky sap & the fruit..all on a glorious sunny day, fresh…realistic and quite “breezy”. I think this is a great one for hot weather. Walking along the street i kept getting wafts of it in the air around me, really fresh and clean. Very easy to wear, glad i got a bottle.

Fleur de Figuier is, I believe, the first fig perfume I have tried, so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. It opens very, very green, transporting me to the woods in the morning after a light night-time rain. It smells a little juicy, and as green as it is, I keep thinking of the colour purple, for some unknown reason.
2 hours in, I smell beautiful lavender! I like how lavender smells in sachets, but I’m still not sure how I feel about it in perfumes. This one isn’t overpowering though. It’s nicely rolled in leaves and wood. Fig still hogs the spotlight.
Towards the end, it retains some floral and tons of green notes, with fig still being the star player. Woody notes become a tad more prominent as it warms up and dies down into a skin scent.
Overall, as I’ve reiterated many a time throughout this review, Fig Flower is definitely a green fig scent with floral and wood notes backing it. It’s a little sweet, but not overly so, with the tiniest hint of wanting to be sour, but never quite reaching that. Do I love it? No, but that’s simply because I’m not the biggest fan of green frags. Does this have character? I’d say it does and it is nice in its own way, so definitely worth a try if you’re looking for a take on fresh frags.
Projection was not too much, about arm’s length for the most part. Lasted about 4 hours on me, with the final hour sitting incredibly close to the skin.
