Tuberose & Wild Fig

Tuberose & Wild Fig is a remarkably pleasant scent which does exactly as it describes; it’s bright and summery without much complexity to it, in a good way. Fig perfumes have become immensely popular and I must say, I have smelled many worse than this. Whilst the fig definitely has elements of sweet, juicy facets, it smells unripe and juvenile - lending to its green, bitter facets which is elevated by galbanum. Citrus fruits help to lift the scent, alongside the tuberose and jasmine which give it an overall delicate shine. It’s very nice actually. I don’t love it enough to justify buying a full bottle, but I will absolutely enjoy wearing my sample this summer, and I don’t think it deserves the harsh rating it’s received on Fragrantica.

first impressions: I quite like the fig note here. There's some green and woodsy notes as well- these figs might still be one the tree. I haven't smelled galbanum, but I'll assume it adds to how grounded this bouqet is. This is probably my favorite cochine scent so far. The other floral notes bloom as it settles, and the fig gets juicier. It's a nice day in the garden
