Fig Fragrances
The fig is an intriguing perfumery ingredient full of complexities, with milky-sweet, creamy facets and bitter green elements. It goes well with citrusy notes, exotic flowers, and other green notes. View our range of fig perfumes and fig fragrances below
Explained by the nose :
Relive a moment of exquisite nonchalance, just long enough to take a nap under a fig tree.
Figs are an ancient fruit cultivated for centuries and are celebrated for their intense nourishment (they are high in fibre, copper, vitamin B6, and potassium) and are regarded as a sacred symbol by many; an emblem is even older than the fig tree. Let us begin with the seeds: Fig seeds, which are delicate, abundant, and edible, represent universal understanding, unity, and truth.
Consider all those tiny, jewel-toned specks, all unified in their goal of creating more life, a mass of purpose. Then there's the fruit, a tear-drop silhouette that fills your hand with a slightly yielding softness. Figs are abundant, with trees producing a bi-annual crop, so it seems only natural that the fig should connote abundance.
About our Fig Fragrances and fig Perfumes
This luscious fruit dates back thousands of years (they can be seen in early depictions of the Garden of Eden). They grew in the Middle East and the Mediterranean and were popularised in modern perfumery about 25 years ago with a scent by L'Artisan Parfumeur.
The scent of the fig can be split into three different notes;
Leaf - offers more of a green note and can be cool and shady
Fruit - juicy, jammy and fruity
Sap - bitter, earthy and milky
Many perfumes contain fig as a note, but they do not qualify as fig perfumes unless fig is a major player in the production. At Durance, Our Eau de Parfum is dominated by a gourmand, almost candied fig (davana), with a touch of tangy red fruits. It also has a velvety rose floral volume and a warm floral volume.
When it comes to fig perfumes and fig fragrances, the scent can be used in different ways to appeal to your senses and feelings. We know that different scents can lift and change your mood, and fig perfumes and fragrances can give you an uplifting scent with a natural woody and deliciously fruity aroma. Fig fragrance often pairs well with citruses, green notes and other exotic flowers.
Fig Perfumes and Products
The indulgent fragrance of the fig allows for a more whimsical note and a touch of fruitiness that invokes a momentary feeling of exquisite nonchalance. The delightful fragrance is subtle and lends itself to a variety of different products, and can be layered without becoming overpowering.
Find your fig base note to allow you to match your fragrances to avoid clashing scents and keep to the same fig scent.
