L’Arbre de la Connaissance

My initial impression of this fragrance was that I did indeed LOVE it but that it was far too "soft" (silage & longevity) for my liking...fast forward two months to this weekend and I decided to retry the small ampule of L'Arbre de la Connaissance, given to me by a local perfume shop...I was thrilled to realize that my initial impression was, indeed partly correct but also partly wrong: YES, I still do LOVE this fragrance -- it is so very sexy and heavenly beautiful; but NO, it isn't too "soft" in any way shape or form -- the longevity and sillage are phenomenally impressive...sillage is perfect: nicely assertive but doesn't bowl one over, so to speak...longevity is marathon-like: 12+ hours if I give myself a good two sprays to each arm (about 15 minutes apart) and the neck area...Will definitely be adding this fragrance to my collection...I'll b-line it to the local perfume shop tomorrow morning to snag myself a 100 ml of this beauty...have a feeling this fragrance will be one of my most beloved fragrances for years to come...when I smell L'Arbre de la Connaissance I feel completely at peace and beauty appears everywhere...I love the green notes that are always there to one degree or another and an almost soft beautiful "nutty-like" aroma the weaves itself in & out of the composition...the sandalwood in the dry down is celestial...and the fig never becomes to sweet or jam-like...Many times over, I find myself irresistibly drawn to smelling my forearms where it has been applied...A big, thank you to Jovoy Paris for producing this absolute heaven-scent gem!

مدتی بود دنبال خرید این ادوکلن بودم.اکثر کارهای جووی رو دارم.تو فروشگاه خانه عطر آرمیتاژ تستر 2014 اون رو پیدا کردم و خریدم.رنگ مایع قرمز رنگ است .برخلاف نسخه های بعدی که کمرنگ و کمرنگ تر شده اند.پخش بالا و ماندگاری بوی بالا با بیس انجیر دارد.خب بالانس رایحه ها با توجه به انتظاری که از جووی می رود در سطح عالی است.یک نکته مهم برای خریداران این ادوکلن.رایحه انجیر در این عطر با رایحه های انجیر در برخی دیگه از ادوکلن های به ظاهر نیش مانند ماسک امپریال از اتیلیه کولون زمین تا اسمان متفاوت است. بدین معنی که در ماسک امپریال که من ان را هم دارم رایحه متمرکز بر همه پسندی و خوش بویی بالا اما با ماندگاری و پخش کم شده است در جووی نسخه 2014 رایحه اصلا به خوش بویی ماسک نیست اما ماندگاری، کلاس کار و سنگینی بو چیزی است که شما با استشمام ان کاملا متوجه با کلاس بودن این رایحه می شوید.باید واقعا دوستدار نت سنگین و ترکیب با نت چوبی انجیر باشید که کنایسنس رو را خرید کنید.

What if I told you some creations are an embodiment of nature itself! This perfume is exactly that. A fig plant in all its glory! Tart, spicy, green, leafy & sweet. It's like you are experiencing the whole plant grow in a timelapse feature! A documentary, but as a perfume. It demands to be embraced and appreciated in every respect. Though it might seem that it bears semblance to the ideal fig plant but it sure has its own way of telling you that it is different. the weather plays a part in this one and thus here in india it seems like this is just the right juice for me! just too good! 10/10 for me

Every 4 years I'm going for the conference to the small city Kolymbari on Crete. During the summer this is really hot and sunny place where many fig trees are sending they pheromones around :-) L’Arbre de la Connaissance smells exactly like these pheromones giving unbelievable sexy aura around. I'm not even trying to analyze elements of this composition, for me the final effect is such wonderful that I feel like in the sumer vacation heaven. The top fig composition - best ever and forever.

Dry, herbaceous, leafy, dusty, earthy, fruity - perfect for the warm breezy days of late summer and early autumn. Reminds me of the natural scent in the air in rural California and the original Napa Valley Cielo fragrance, but deeper and richer. L'Arbre de la Connaissance is my favorite fig scent. Very high class fig, rivaling Diptyque Philosykos.

Yet Another Jovoy Perfume I Adore !! I Totally Agree With Goya .. This A Beautiful Green Fresh Fig Scent, My Fav Fig Scent I Have Found So Far But Yes There Is A But ... The Longevity On The Skin Is Poor For A "Niche /High End /Expensive" Fragrance ... Maybe 3 hrs On My Skin At Most, Does Last On Fabric Longer Though.

I love this! This is all fig tree and fig leaf. No actual fig fruit note. This is harsh but has a sweetness like fig milk. I get a vegtable quality like celery and cucumber. I don't get any citrus at all. I can understand someone not liking this. I feel like this is a niche fragrance that a fringe group would enjoy.

Fig fig fig. Lovely fresh green fig. A slightly citrus opening. Fresh leaves and some twigs. Not too sweet. A real joy.

One of the best fig scent in the market. Its green and creamy at the same time. Amazing performance and projection.

I love all kinds of fig scents, and this is no exception (how could it be, with a name as lovely as this?). I have a generous sample and that's a good thing, because I needed a few tries to "get" it. At first it seemed a little overwhelming to me - it's quite heavy, focused on the fruit more than any other part of the fig tree, but without smelling fruity or even very sweet. Unexpected! And it's been so hot these last couple of weeks that it's been easy to overdose on any scent that's not especially light and airy - which this definitely isn't. Luckily, the weather has cooled down now, and I've learned to spray a little more lightly with this one as well, and now it's really come into its own. It smells very natural in quite a heady way, super woody/milky - like a real fig tree, but enhanced, exaggerated. Very nice once I was used to it, and it easily lasts all day as well. Fig scent obsessed as I am, there are a lot of fragrances I prefer to this one, but I'd still like to have this one in my (decant) collection; it'll make a good figgy alternative for cooler summer days or early fall.

There isn't much to say about the scent, as it's a realistic (figurative) fig fragrance. Similar to Philosykos, no other floral or spicy notes are included in this fragrance to highlight the fig. I enjoy fragrances with fig accords, and this one is no different. In this fragrance, the fig fruit is more dominant than other notes. And the fig is very riped, juicy and sweet, even slightly medicinal. I have recently tried several fragrances from Jovoy. I believe that this house has a unique approach in creating fragrances by keeping the central notes bold and dramatic, such as the fig in this fragrance, without adding unnecessary or extra notes. Most of their fragrances have very few notes, for example, this one only has 2 top notes and 1 middle note. However, the scent is not minimal; it's bold, dramatic, and powerful. I really appreciate their approach to perfumery. This one in particular is an excellent fig fragrance. But my all time favorite fig fragrance is still the original Philosykos EDT. 8/10

True to its pyramid. Opens with mouthwatering tart citrus top over the ripening green figs hanging on the fig tree. The figgy sweetness is just right. It goes through a rich fig pulp feel phase with violet hues, until it becomes woodsy and powdery from the sandal wood and patchouli. Nice quality scent. Very wearable. Not as demure and all encompassing to the dot as the absolute literal fig spectrum covered by the watercolors of Philosykos. The quality is there, but Jovoy takes you on a different journey. If I must summarize it: Juicy “Amalfi” opening, going in Monegal New Paradise dark dense woodsy direction, until it starts showing a powdery side of some feminine features in the drydown phase a la “ELDO She’s an Anomaly” and after not too long extinguishes in green, citric, waxy iridescence. No sharp phases, it’s all blended transitioning.

One of my favorite fig-based perfumes, The Tree of Enlightenment is a beautiful Oriental fig that is tranquil, green, soothing and meditative. The perfume begins with a whiff of fig leaves and hesperidium, and moves into a central base of the fig fruit. Finally, it settles into a beautiful Oriental base of sandalwood, patchouli and fig bark. This is absolutely radiant on my skin and I am overwhelmed with positive and spiritual energy. I usually wear it before I head to teach class as it keeps me inspired and focused. Not for everyone like most fig-based perfumes but one of the most beautifully blended and balanced in this category. Enjoy!

The opening is quite difficult, all the notes are in overdrive. This is a fig dominant scent, with all the parts of the tree—leafs and stems—up front. But it’s too synthetic and sweetly strong for my taste. Exhausting is the only word I can conjure. Dry down is more natural, and thankfully softer. I do like this stage, but I’m not sure the opening is worth it. I adore figs in perfume, one of my favorite fruity notes. But this Jovoy is a firm pass.

I love the sweet fruit part here. I get Apricots and Peaches more than Figs. I also think of sweet white florals: Gardenia and Osmanthus. But I absolutely hate the Green part that smells more like Mugwort and Plastic to me and perpetuates till the drydown where it all transform into a smell of a body butter (similar to the Mango Body Butter by the Body Shop, minus Mango.

Green-green fig with a hint of lemon and spice! Very energizing and sophisticated at the same time. Sharp grassy-lemon opening calms down in 5 minutes revealing interesting combination of fig and sandalwood. It is not heavy despite of sandalwood in the mix. I would even call it new kind of ozonic scent because it is so fresh. Like it!

Beautiful green-woody scent. Fig leaf and green notes play around all the time. Its not sweet fig but rather a kind of dirty dusty fig.it may not pleasant to some souls but believe me it is quit unique. Scent:4/5 Age:+30 Projection:moderate Longevity:+6hrs Occassion: Formal and casual Season: spring and summer days

Interesting green (almost vegetable) opening with resinous and bright ambery undertones. Very unusual scent: smells a bit like nail polish remover but very elegant and chic at the same time. Dries down to powdered green fig leaves. Follow me on IG: scent.guide

An interesting scent that smells to my nose like a mix of Philosykos and Bal D’Afrique. Fruity, green, figgy, leafy but slightly synthetic in tone. I would personally take Philosykos over this, and probably this over Bal D’Afrique.
