Description
After Fleur de Figuier EDT presented in 2013 accompanied with a perfumed body care collection, which provides delicate and fresh aromas of fig leaf, wood and fruit, ROGER & GALLET launches a more concentrated and intense version, Fleur de Figuier Eau de Parfum. The fragrance is announced as juicy, delicate and slightly gourmand and announces sweet aromas of fig. It arrives on the market in 2015.
Composition Fleur de Figuier Eau de Parfum provides a Mediterranean homage to fleshy and sweet frig fruits, fig blossom, fresh and green leaves and milky zest with characteristic scent. A gourmand note comes from sweet candied fig. Development of the fragrance brings surprising velvety-silky aromas of precious purple wood combined with patchouli in the base, initiating chypre shades. Musk is in charge of the sensual and soft finish, supporting the woody accords of the heart, blended with milky fig zest. The fragrance is signed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, who also created the previous version of the fragrance from 2013.
FLEUR DE FIGUIER EAU DE PARFUM arrives in a glass flacon as 50 ml Eau de Parfum. The bottle has been redesigned by Martin Szekely.

This is the eau de parfum, reviewed in a warm summer day: yummy, dry, warm and comforting fig.
I really like it.

Tested on the top of my hand.

Love it! Starts unusual, fruity, juicy but not sweet at all. Does remind a bit of fig skin. Dries sweeter, almost floral, but still not too sweet.
Good sillage and longevity, unusual for R&G, and very natural-feeling while artistic.
I want it!

Update: it actually lasted around 8 hours on me.

Screechy sweet fig, which is fine if you are in the mood for it. Much prefer their fig eau parfumée.

Really captures the juicy, natural fig much like Diptyque Philosykos. Sensual, soft woods and musk in the base really set it apart from the aforementioned comparison and give it overall a more feminine leaning scent but… Would I wear it? I have to say Yes I definitely would so it can’t be that feminine. Lasting power is not that great but I suspect if you teamed it up with the shower gel or body lotion, you might get a performance boost. Regardless you will smell nice and feel refreshed wearing this…I like it.

Fleur de figuier Edt or fragrance water is a lovely fruity fig&raspberry refreshing delicious juice evoking “raspberry jam” as if you opened a raspberry jam lid for the first time and inhaled the juicy fresh raspberry and a little fresh green fig aroma.
This was transformed into -Eau de parfume – hmm and
and deliciousness I liked about the EDT has disappeared.
They mixed some patchouli and woody notes into this I presume to make it stronger of a s ent and it has just faint traces of the perfumed Edt but it’s not the same, more like a distant oriental cousin , so be careful if you think Eau de parfume is just a stronger identical smell, which it is not.
I will continue buying the Edt, plus the perfumed lotion which are to die for….. 🙂

A strong perfume with sweetness that is energizing instead of cloying. Fleur de Figuier eau de parfum will last on the skin for a very long time and continue to mesmerize. It is a steadfast perfume that isn’t afraid to show its sweetness (which I can appreciate and expect from a fig-based perfume). Roger & Gallet often make very humble, soft-speaking perfumes (which are exceptional), and this eau de parfum is still a wonderful change.
I think most people will know whether they love or dislike this fragrance upon first introductions. For me, it was an immediate love and continues to be with each wear.

I have to say I was a little disappointed with this-I usually fall very quickly in love with Roger and Gallet (I’m currently carrying on with Bois d’Orange and Jean-Marie Farina), but to me the EDP Fleur de Figuier was generic and uninspired.
It’s feminine, more towards the girly-girl end of the spectrum definitely, pretty and sweet. To me its a young girl’s fragrance-there is no subtlety, no mystery, its all upfront and rather innocent. It’s fresh and light, summery and airy. The opening burst is very sweet-almost but not quite oversweet and it just steers clear of ‘sickly’. I get a very distinct note of raspberry, but that might just be the generic ripe fruitiness. I’m not a great fan of Patchouli, but in this it is very muted and I think its necessary to add some weight and longevity. The candy notes are really high on me and overpower the rest.
I think I’m going to experiment with this one and tone down the sweet gourmand and try and bring the green notes out, maybe layering it with Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca (which is too green for me on its own).

Fleur de Figuier Eau de Parfum, Roger & Gallet. 09.24.2015
“Fleur de Figuier Eau de Parfum” is a pretty fruity/floral scent; but, it is not a fig scent. In fact, the fig note is hardly detectable.
The perfume opens up quite strongly but, calms within 20 minutes. It is juicy and pleasant, slightly sweet (however, not sugary sweet but, rather, fruity sweet.) not cloying at all and has an overall positive and feminine vibe.
I believe it is an everyday fragrance for daily use, inoffensive and suitable for all ages.
As it opens up, its projection is massive, it fills in the room; nevertheless, it calms relatively quickly and, after about an hour or so, stays close to the skin. The longevity is very good; around 4-6 hours.
The downsides, in my view, are that, firstly, it is not a fig scent. Pretty nonetheless. Yet, if you are after a fig scent, I believe that this will let you down. If, however, you are after a pleasant fruity/floral then, the perfume will not disappoint you. Secondly, I feel that I have smelled something like this several times in the past. It is the type of perfume that feels familiar so, there is nothing special about it that makes it recognizable or distinctive.
It is for these two reasons that I wouldn’t recommend this scent. I feel, there are in the market equally pretty and more interesting perfumes to invest in. It will not be a disappointing purchase, not at all but, it won’t be a magnificent purchase either.
Enjoy the perfume quest.
Regards
Josephine

This is better than the EDT, it has more punch, I detect the fig although it isn’t as obvious as in the EDT, this is warmer, I feel easy to wear all year round…I don’t detect patchouli, or woodsy notes, they are quite muted and well blended in…this is lovely, I truly like it!! This is a nice feminine scent, I feel it has a certain all around sweetness, but very natural…like not candy at all..
Longevity on skin is pretty good..

TOO MUCH PATCHOULI, TOO LITTLE FIG
_______________________________________________________
Ever since I smelled “Acqua di Parma – Fico di Amalfi” I fell in love with the scent of fig. some time ago I read here that ROGER & GALLET would bring a perfume version of their fragrance ‘Fleur de Figuer’ on the market. I could hardly wait.
And today I tried it and was very surprised. From the beginning there is an explosion of sweetnes. After some time the sweetnes transformes in the wonderful scent of figs, but unfortunately that doesn’t last too long – for the longevity of this fragrance is quite short. To be honest, I was quite surprised and dissapointed about the short longevity of this ‘EDP’.
Overall: I love figs scents, but I need them to last – not worth the money.
Longetivity: – 2/10
Sillage: rather small for EDP – 2/10
All in all: 2 out of 10 points.

I do find the sweet fig part in Fleur de Figuier EDP quite similar to the original version, but the creamy texture seems to be amped up in EDP. With the addition of patchouli, it conjures up toffee to me, and actually reminds me some of the fruitchouli fragrances, albeit much less heavy.
The sillage is moderate to soft and the longevity is around 8 hours. Thanks to the creamy texture, this EDP version feels less transparent and sparkly than the original, but slightly warmer and more cozy. It veers towards fruity gourmand to me, and is relatively light for the genre, quite lovely and affordable as well.
