AO

Love at first sniff. I have a sample of this and at first I thought it smelled like Philosykos, but no, they're very different, especially on dry down. AO has very delicate sweetness to it - imagine sitting next to a fig tree full of ripe figs on a sunny summer day in August. While Philosykos is greener - imagine sitting next to a fig tree full of unripe figs on a partly sunny day in May. While Philosykos keeps the fig scent on dry down, AO is transforming to a delicate, flowery goodness, probably because of the violet note. I just can't get over the price to purchase a full bottle. Also, wouldn't it be nice if Floraiku made it possible to choose the design of the refill bottle? Some of the other Floraiku perfumes have THE BEST refill bottle designs, but I don't like their smell. Edit: I ended up purchasing a whole bottle and have no regrets whatsoever. Perfect summer frargrance!

When you think about the fruit, fig, the first thing that comes to mind is the texture for me. It’s luscious and feels like velvet in your mouth. It's seductive. Then it starts to permeate. Distinctive fig sent. I get that same quality in this fragrance . It is nothing like a traditional scent of fig as you would typically imagine. The violet completely changes it. If you purchase this without smelling first prepare to be surprised. I did it and I am very happy with my decision. It's more of a sweet violet with a touch of green fig and orange than a full on fruit fragrance. I highly recommend. Especially after it has been on for about a half hour. It's really quite beautiful.

I felt so in love with this materpiece. This is pure class in a bottle. The opening is reaaally herbal and bitter, almost a kinda leafy smell, but wait for it because the sweetness is there and is going to appear. In fact after some minutes, the fig fruit comes in, along with a floral and sweet smell which reminds me a little bit of Caligna. This part is so so elegant and refined, smells so classy and expensive. Right after that, welcome tonka bean! Fig fruit and mandarine are supported by that creamy sweet base which makes this perfume one of the best things i’ve discovered lately. Pure Love

It does remind me of figuier eden but just 25% similar max and only the opening and even then its more similar to philosykos on my skin. The first few minutes is fresh figs, and dries down to a sweet but dry vanilla scent, similar to eau duelle. But the fruityness doesnt completely go away but becomes very nondescript at that phase. Its truly beautiful, i have both figuier eden and philosykos and even at this price point, im still going to get this one too.

On my skin, this opens very figgy and green backed by , but quickly dissipates into a soft creamy vanilla with tangerine. I find this to be perfectly unisex, though I can understand why this can be seen as feminine. My only real complaint about this fragrance is the price tag, which I find to be near highway robbery.
