Cheap. synthetic stuff. Don’t waste your 12 bucks!

Just not for me, but most aquatics aren’t. The fig is nice, but I just don’t understand the fragrance world’s interpretation of the way water smells. I love the way the beach smells, this just doesn’t evoke any memories of saltwater for me.

$12 of AWESOMENESS!!! Finally found some at one of the Old Navy’s near me. I heard it has been discontinued, it has been very hard to find. I bought 3 bottles that were left. It’s not mindblowing or anything, but it’s very clean and fresh and smells great. I still smell it on my hand now after 4 and a half hours. I got pretty good sillage the first 1 and a half to 2 hours. If you are able to find it, it’s well worth the price for a $12 EDP concentration of fragrance. I’m loving it. I highly recommend it.

This is a nice aquatic fragrance that can be found at Old Navy for $15 a bottle. It smells just like its name, of salty seawater sweetened by a prominent fig note. Overall it smells somewhat like Jo Malone’ Wood, Sage, and Sea Salt but with an added fig note to it. It also smells somewhat like Atelier Colognes’ Figuer Ardent but without the green notes. Apparently it smells similar to an expensive niche fragrance known as Pacific Rock Moss as well, but I’ve never smelled that to be certain. It’s totally unisex. Projection however is on the lighter side while longevity is just ok at about 3 hours of good projection. But I can’t complain for $15, and the scent itself is very nice.
4/5

Got this because I heard it was a cheap alternative to Pacific Rock Moss (which I actually really like). It’s good for the price and definitely very similar to PRM, but I would say it’s only about an 85% match, and PRM has the edge for me. The citrus in PRM is stronger than the fig in SS&F, which makes the SS&F seem to lack some depth in comparison, and PRM has better projection and longevity. SS&F is still worth the $12, but I haven’t decided yet whether I want to use it to fully replace PRM in my library.
Edit: After further use, I should add that the sillage of Sea Salt & Fig is super weak, even after 4 sprays. So it’s hard to say that $12 for 30ml isn’t worth it, but I probably won’t be buying this again.

It does smell real fig, and sea-like. I like it after it dries down – it smells really real figs… but then when that smell goes away, which usually takes about an hour on me, there is the sea salt and some clearly masculine notes left, so I feel a bit ambiguous about this one… I think it’s a scent that a man would easily be able to wear, but not sure how well suited this is for me, who is not a man

I enjoy this aquatic scent … with a woody, driftwood dry down. but with a sweetness kinda like hay or sweet grass and candy figs ..similar to Jo Malone wood sage salt , also Olivinia Capri fig and amber roll on. which I love. Better price than JM

Wow, Pacific Rock Moss for 12 dollars. Can’t be beat.

This stuff is in the same genre as Philosykos or Fico di Amalfi. It’s probably closer to Demeter’s Fig Leaf, which is a better value. Not sure where everyone is getting a powdery vibe from. This is straight up fig with a little saltiness. If you’re a guy, you should be comfy with unisex fragrances, as this is not that masculine. This is good for really hot summer days.

Still testing this one out… it’s a nice clean scent… slightly reminds me of that fresh-out-the-shower scent. I can’t attest to the longevity just yet… but seems to linger longer on clothing rather than skin, at least for me.
Enjoying the scent nevertheless… will update once I have more experience with scent!

Beautiful! The longevity is eight hours, with the first three being the strongest. It smells like what happens when you mix Diptyque’s “Philosykos” and Jo Malone’s “Wood Sage and Sea Salt.”
The first two hours are almost purely “Wood Sage…,” while the rest of the time is “Philosykos.”
Does not smell like a $12 perfume, at all, and there are no cheap undertones that give it away. Smells like a niche perfume, totally.

aaaa bit just a bit aquatic/metallic on the 5mins then.. Powdery soapy projects for 2 hours 6 hours skin scent masculine but barely… Kinda ck one unisex

Lovely creamy-powder scent. I don’t detect anything salty. Very strong projection. Maybe I’m just not all that familiar with modern perfumery’s version of “fig.” Though I have heard people describe fig as creamy.
Sweet, pleasant powder and cream. I was confused by the name but it was a nice scent. A little strong for my taste.
I am curious about the others because of the impressive longevity and sillage!

I made a trip specifically to Old Navy to test this fragrance. I am a huge fig fruit fan and I wanted to see Old Navy’s take on a “fig” note.
Sea Salt & Fig is a very masculine scent. It starts out with this blast of humid, ocean air to your nose. The fig fruit is green and unripe but VERY FAR in the background. It’s not fruity, but very green.
The blast of humid, ocean air morphs in a salt accord with a heavy smokey nuance and the green, unripe fig becomes a little more noticeable. I can’t stress enough that the fig fruit plays a very minor role in this fragrance, but again, it’s in the background and is not the traditional “fruity” scent.
As simple as it is, Sea Salt & Fig would stand out in a crowd. The sea salt just radiates “savoury” all over you. It’s alluring and pulls you in. The greenness of the fig gives this fragrance some legs to stand on. This would be a great fragrance for a guy who’s not that serious about fragrances and just wants something simple to wear. If you’re a woman and genderbending is your thing (I do it, too!), then more power to you!
It’s a “salty sea air” scent with some smokiness and greenness to it. The name of this scent matches it perfectly.

Of the three, I was most drawn to this one. It was a marine scent, reminding me of Demeter’s Salt Air (one of my favorites). Can’t comment on the fig as I am not familiar with how that should smell. It seems to be a quality scent, and a quick spritz of a tester lasted the afternoon.

I saw this in the Old Navy at the mall this past weekend. I love a good fig note so I sprayed it on immediately. The initial spray was a clean and sweet fig scent and I was digging it. Unfortunately, after about an hour all the figginess was gone and I was left with something that reminded me of a very pleasant room freshener. It didn’t smell bad, just not something I’d want to wear. Glad I had a chance to sample it, though.
