Nude

Immediately recognisable. Somewhere between Jo Malone Woodsage & Sea Salt and Dior Balade Sauvage. Equally beautiful yet heartbreakingly quiet. Fig, clean wood, elegance. Not all fragrances need to be screamers. But I would have loved this to be just half a dial better performing than the two others.

The opening is so juicy, jammy and delicious. It dries down velvety and silky, very pleasant in the heat. I love the fig note here, it’s quite yummy, realistic ripe fig not the green type of fig scent. I tend to not like fig notes when they are green, for me that is the case with Diptyque’s Philosykos and Vilhelm Parfumerie’s purple fig. Turns out that this is priced at a niche level, which surprised me, it doesn’t smell niche. Basically 195 - 200 EUR for a 100ml bottle in a leather casing that you’ll be able to refill. This really reminds me of some other fragrance, I can’t put my finger on it. It is a beautiful scent but not full bottle worthy for me.
