Sainte +Figue

#1646 in my “Tour de Fragrance” Got this as a decant from scentsplit.com. They want $200 for a full bottle. Some Italian sellers on eBay want $170. This is a nice fig scent, but is it really nicer than Mancera “Fig Exstasy” that I already own ($75 at Jomashop)? No. Or the Theodoros Kalotinis “Alluring Fig” that I already own? No. And if I we’re willing to pay $200 for a fig scent I’d go for Agatho Parfum’s “195 aC” which has no peer among fig scents. But this is nice. Fig, olibanum, wood, vanilla. But moderate longevity and silage. The Mancera substantially outperforms this at less than half the price, so my recommendation is go with the Mancera. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

Leans masculine. Classic vibe, aromatic, peppery, dry. There's a slight funk. Maybe from the amber or the other resinous notes. I didn't care for it. Would not say it's fig forward at all.
