Ladri di Fichi

This is a fragrance with both personality and tenderness. On paper, it’s green and bright, sharp, luminous. But on skin, it transforms into something lush and creamy, touched with a quiet sweetness that unfolds slowly over the course of a few hours. Everything feels intentional, balanced, and alive. It doesn’t just wear...it moves. What stays with me most is the dry down. It smells lived in: the kind of scent your skin holds after a day outdoors. There’s warmth and salt from sweat, the brush of leaves, and a vegetal greenness like crushed stems. A twist of lemon from your iced tea lingers. And then there’s the air: spacious, almost ozonic, giving the whole thing room to breathe. You return to this dry down and it reminds you that you have room to breathe. It’s vivid and deeply felt. So yes, of course, I need a bottle. Edit: I’m on bottle no. 2. 🥰

Presenting one of the most photorealistic and poetic scents I've tried in a long while. I feel passionately about this one. It follows a perfect timeline: First application is a young, unripe, green and true-as-can-be fig. Vegetal, verdant. Half hour into the dry down, you sense it ripening. The sweetness seeps out and you can visualize it purpling. An hour in+ on warm skin and someone has plucked it - they're slicing it tenderly, drizzling it with honey in a sunlit backyard. It is a perfect journey and the translated name - Fig Thieves - is such a cute ode to it. On my boyfriend (he runs hotter and has oilier skin than me) the honeyed sweetness is even more boosted - he has to swat me away from constantly whiffing him. It's addictive!

I'm not a fragrance writer in any way - this is a first - but I feel compelled to share my thoughts as a longtime lover and user of scents. Ladri di Fichi, quite simply, makes me happy. It's bright and green, complex and creamy with a hint of honey. It ends up warm and delicious. I've never smelled anything like Ladri. All day, I raise my arm to my nose for a hit of joy.

From all the samples that I’ve tried, Ladri di Fichi is the most complex and interesting. A green/sappy fig if that makes sense. Even though it’s not in the notes, I detect cinnamon but perhaps that’s the honey interacting with other ingredient. Not for everyone, definitely a perfume with personality. This is an upgrade on green fragrances. Worth to try.

I was expecting something a bit fresher and sweeter. This is more of a photo realistic green scent. VERY herbaceous. A little bitter. Pretty sharp. The green bites you and doesn't let go. I think it's OKAY as a scent (I'm certainly not the target audience), but damn, this is a work of art.
