Invisible Post

You go out on your balcony with friends for the first day of spring break. You take a seat in your chair as you look out over the ocean, the fig cocktail you have is incredibly juicy and creamy and the slush melts in your mouth. The smell of the palm trees leaves swaying in the wind and the dry cedar mulch that the condo you rented puts out as grounds keeping. The sun in the late evening because of your long drive begins to finally set. The cocktails keep flowing as the taste gets sweeter and sweeter, never anything beyond natural: like a really fresh fig cocktail. The party flowing until you don't know when. Booking it outside to the beach, up to the biggest mischief. You bring a blanket, guitar, and move the party outside. A magical night as more and more people join to dance the night away with you, and a hell of a way to start vacation. 19-69 is one of those houses for me that has so many beautiful and modern fragrances. This goes from a green sweet and slightly tart fig, slowly sweetening up but forming a cedar and androgynous florals. This creamy fig has a slow transition from the tart to the sweet and I honestly love it. Moderate Projection and Performance, arguably longer last than most fig fragrances on clothes. Completely unisex, and a compliment magnet under high heat or summer's night. On the comparison to "Debaser" by D.S. & Durga, as I own it. The only similarity here is the general theme that is a creamy fig. Debaser's fig is more of the byproduct of the major coconut note, and it also goes in a much more fresh/soap like direction than this does. This on the other hand has its cream come from sandalwood, which dries down creamy sure but with a bit more deepness or woodsy smell to it. This woodsy bit pairs really well with the dry cedar as a backbone to give this a lot of depth. I can get the relation to the opening of each but like the first 10-20 seconds opening. Try both! I like creamy fig stuff and love both, but since I own debaser I don't need this, but having smelled this again I only slightly wish I had this as 19-69 seems to be going through a weird rebrand? I have no clue, but that's my best guess as there is next to nothing about what's going on their main website. Regardless, an amazing scent to get lost in.

This is immediately green fruity when first sprayed. It transitions to slightly sweet, juicy fig as it dries down. During the stage, I get a lot more of the black currant than I would have expected. If it stayed like this, this would not be my jam. However immediately after dry down the palm and petitgrain come out and make this much greener and much fresher. At this point, it is a beautiful, almost grassy fig - in the same ballpark as Ichnusa and Noble Fig - which I adore. I would say this fragrance has more of a citrus note and is *very* slightly more sweet than Ichnusa. I love palm, as a note in general. This has a bit of the freshness of my favorite palm fragrance, Mémoires d'une Palmeraie 02. To be clear, I am not into fruity scents or sweet scents, usually. But fig scents get a pass with me 98% of the time because of their creamy nature and how well they go with fresh, green aspects. Surprisingly, I find this to be beautifully intense and lasting, better than Ichnusa or Noble Fig, which need reapplication. Ichnusa is my favorite fig, period; but it doesn't last long. This fragrance is strong for hours, and eventually fades to a warm, slightly figgy, skin scent. Sillage is medium, so not unnoticeable but also not gassing out your workplace. This is one of those big scents that I think could appeal to a wide variety of fragrance sensibilities. Folks who like fresh fruit notes would definitely get that from the fig, and folks who like a green, citrusy scent may also enjoy this. Notably, there's no coconut note in this, which is a welcome change from the plethora of fragrances that seem to follow in the steps of Philosykos. However, the sandalwood and other base notes give a bit of a creamy, woody experience that is far superior to any coconut aspect, in my opinion. I'm becoming a big fan of the 19-69 house... they truly have some amazing offerings

Invisible Post is one of those fragrances that feels effortless but still distinctive. It opens with a fresh, green brightness, petitgrain and citrus give it a crisp, almost sunlit quality, before the fig comes through, adding a smooth, slightly milky sweetness that never turns heavy. What makes it interesting is the balance: the fruity and green notes sit on a soft woody base, with sandalwood giving it a clean, understated warmth. It’s not loud or overly complex, but it has enough character to stand out in a subtle way. The brand itself, 19-69, is known for drawing inspiration from cultural movements and counterculture references of the late 20th century, and that vibe comes through here: this feels relaxed, creative, and a bit nostalgic without being retro. Performance is moderate (around 3/4 hours), and it wears close to the skin, which actually fits the concept: “invisible,” but present enough to be noticed up close. Overall, it’s a great everyday fragrance, easy to wear, modern, and quietly addictive, and one of those fig fragances that I love

The minute I tried this on I felt carried away, like a soft wind was blowing in and around me. It brought back the memory of driving through laurel canyon with my mother in her convertible, listening to old folk music, the warmth of the los angeles sun on me, the santa ana winds gentle but their presence unmistakable, staring at my own face in the side view mirror and feeling like I was being taken through a trip to a sort of heaven. There is a lightness to this scent, and I think if you enjoy green notes, realistic green notes you would enjoy this. The first five minutes remain incredible but the dry down leaves a bit to be desired. Hard to capture that fleeting sensation and mantain it. This one, despite having no similar notes, reminds me a lot of creed VIW.... just the feeling they evoke I suppose. Definitely a perfume for a california girl, or someone who is at heart a california girl <3

I’ve sampled this from Ministry of Scent, and I must say I’m addicted!!! It’s very fresh, clean, and perfect for springtime, imo. The Green Fig and Tangerine really come alive here in the top notes. The middle notes, Palm Leaf, Black Currant, and in particular, the Cyclamen, are are also a nice addition while it ends with Sandalwood, Viginian Cedarwood, and Tonka Beans in the base. It is honestly SO lovely, refreshing, uplifting, and has great projection and longevity. I can see myself wearing this everyday while working from home, running errands, etc.

Just bought this after falling in love with it at a shop. Do you like plant nurseries, that wet, verdant smell of new life, punctuated by the occasional exotic fruit blossom? That's what this makes me think of. It's juicy like melon or litchi, fresh like peeling a tangerine, sweet like fig, and GREEN. Very unusual, naturalistic and gorgeous. I love it. Don't think the longevity is amazing, maybe 5 hours. Not sure about the sillage but I think this one probably needs a few extra sprays!

I don’t like fig, but I absolutely adore this. It’s very very green and a little bit sharp to start, on my skin it needs warm weather to shine (in the winter that sharpness can read a little bitter). For me it’s nothing like any of the other fig forward fragrances out there - it’s not sweet or jammy or cloying - and it’s let down only by the longevity. I tend to spray a little every couple of hours so I can enjoy the opening notes over and over again.

There is a note. Its one of those ingredients that either you do well with or its problematic. Not a blind buy because of it. Otherwise this is a beautiful perfume! Unique and interesting, green and fresh but maybe even more so for a frag head then someone that just wants the typical perfume. As the comment a couple down points out, the challenging note dosen't last but its around the opening. I like it enough to keep it.

Fresh, green, juicy fig! Top notes linger for a while, too, instead of dissipating immediately. Compared to Philosykos this is less milky, with no coconut note, with a brighter sweetness that is not at all cloying or sugary. Dries down on me to a sweet woodsy base. Nice during the summer.

This is my perfume staple. I bought this bc it was similar to Debaser, both green and figgy. This is sharper and less creamy. Leans slightly feminine but my boyfriend, and I share the bottle. I find it nice as a winter fragrance too, despite it being super “fresh.”

Used up a tester of this one recently and all I can think is "I need more". Probably my favorite fig fragrance I've tried yet. The tonka pairs so well with this, almost feels like freshly whipped vanilla cream on a fig tart. It's gorgeous.

Unbelievably fresh and green. This smells exactly like a nectarine tree. I'm not sure this is my style but I'm impressed with the realism of this. It's linear but hyper realistic.

Sweet, very approachable fig that doesn't get "sweaty" smelling. No sharpness, some juiciness, lots of sweetness. It has some very pretty, very nice elements, but performance (fading in less than 30 mins) and originality is lacking. First spray has lots of sweet, warm fig. It's realistic but not photorealistic. Think grocery store, more generic-tasting figs. Sweet, got some figginess in the skin, and generally smells *good*. Theres a slightly grainy/cereal-y, bran or barley smelling note here too. After the first spray dries down, a beautiful warm, chewy mid-tone comes through. The body of black currant, a touch of gentle citrus from cyclamen, and warmth from tonka. Gone very quickly though. The sweet, gentle tangerine persists throughout if you sniff deeply, just around the edges. I don't get too much sandalwood or cedar. This feels very light, airy and warm. Doensn't have a big body or backbone. Maybe if you were short on time and wanted to experience a flash runthrough (<1hr) of fragrance opening and drydowns, you'd enjoy this.

I adore this. I prefer scents that are green and fresh without leaning too sweet or too vegetal. This one, while fairly fruity, stays perfectly in that ideal range for me. The dominant note I get is blackcurrant, but currant supported by green leaves and grasses. It reminds me of tomato leaves, it becomes so vegetal. It almost starts to smell a little dank or sweaty, in a good way. It's intoxicating, and I keep smelling my wrists to get more of it... ...because this is a faint, short-lasting affair. Maybe it's because I'm using a sample, but I noticed very little projection, and that heady leafy-curranty smell nearly disappears after thirty minutes or so. What's left is a vague sweetness with just a hint of the earlier joyous green. I'd like to try buying a larger size of this and spraying more liberally, because if I can get the opening notes to stick around and project a bit more, it would be the perfect scent for me.

Wow that opening! JUICY fruits - fresh realistic figs, a touch of citrus and a slight green bitterness. The vegetal aspect of the palm leaf comes through quickly, transforming this from a kiddy fruity fragrance to grown up and interesting. This is quite a predominantly vegetal green and woody fragrance. The fruit persists to pull this out of a straight up green/wood classification but I do find the fig gets tiresome. When I first got into perfumes I fell head over heels for fig notes and tested everything to the point of exhaustion. My favourite being Debaser which I thought I would love forever, but got tired of it within a few uses. I feel like I might find the same with this one. Also, to be clear, this is hardly comparable to Debaser as other reviews have mentioned. The fig is the only common part.

This is the most surprising of the 24 fig fragrances I’ve tried over the last couple of years. It’s extremely fig-forward, but the profile is very vegetal (due to the palm leaf note), and very creamy (tonka bean), at the same time. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a fragrance that was simultaneously vegetal and creamy before. Mancera Pearl is similarly vegetal, but in a direct comparison, much more floral, sweet, and soapy. I also did a direct comparison with Debaser, and as other reviewers have said, the only similarity is that they’re both creamy fig fragrances. I don’t really get the upvotes in the “reminds me of” section as they smell nothing alike.

So much greener than expected! I get unripened fig, & a chopped palm frond to start. Slightly sweeter (black current/Tonka) & then a very subtle citrus/black current/floral as it fades. Only hints of cedar here & there, but I really have to sniff. Interesting, definitely not like anything else I’ve smelled recently, but I wouldn’t wear it daily. I’d say warm weather fragrance, however the heat brought out a bit of a funky, earthy musk (only lasted 10 mins or so). Not much projection, & longevity is around 4 hours on my skin

It is very green and vegetal. I don't think it smells very fruity unless we're talking about fruits that some people argue as being vegetables. I didn't like it at first but its slowly growing on me, it works well for this hot muggy weather we've been having in my city. I'm gonna have to test it further before I can come to a solid conclusion on how I feel

Smells like a clean bathroom. Something a little green and definitely a little woody. Like a feminine pine scent with a bit of fruity thrown in there. I like this for Christmas. Maybe something aquatic too? Bell peppers??? Does it...does it smell like bell peppers? Very interesting scent but I wouldn't buy it for myself.

One of my favourites (so far) from this brand. It's a clean fruity smell but spray too much (I mean around 6 sprays) and you'll smell like cleaning products so this in my opinion would last you a while
