Caligna

Recently bought a spray sample of this and it is simply stunning. Uplifting and beautiful. Perfectly unisex. Fresh and herbal without a hint of anything sharp or harsh to irritate my nose. (The majority of fresh/herbal/cologne type scents are hard for me to tolerate. For example, someone mentioned Vetiver Fatale in comparison to this, and while I basically like that fragrance, it is harsh to me.) I'm mostly a vanilla/iris/tonka/amber lover, but I also like fig. The opening says "mint" to me but that's probably because I'm not familiar with clary sage. The conifer component is there but in a soft, subtle way. Sillage and longevity are both pretty weak, but I'm ok with that. It can be had for a very good price per ml, and I like the subtlety. Don't need it to shout. Tried this after being absolutely wowed by Dzing!, and this is, while very different, just as pleasing. I'd be curious to hear if anyone has experience with the new bottle style versus the old--whether the scent seems to have been changed. Both are readily available at the moment. A couple of other reviewers said it better than I can... LANIER: "Caligna to my nose is light and soft on my skin and the notes blended into a pure tingling effervescent pop of spring. Lovely and bright, luminous in fact, Caligna is really the perfect uni-sex perfume for springtime or even in the cold months to recall the joys of May in bloom in the south of France." empathyboy: "Caligna is a quiet masterpiece. This perfume could almost belong to the Jardin series by Hermes, particularly Jardin Monsieur Li. It is soft, light, minimalistic, exquisitely executed and utterly beautiful." apentias: "...it is a masterful, acrobatic balance between opposites. It's both fresh and warm, uber chic and sexy, both smooth and piquant. How can something so discreet be so powerful? This juice elates and grounds you at the same time. "

Clary sage is one of my favourite pure essential oils. I love to place a few drops on my pillow to invoke lucid dreams. The clary sage in Caligna is most definitely natural and of the highest quality. I love this scent so very much. As a perfume it is extremely light, and like others have mentioned, it sits very close to the skin. That is how I like my scents. Whomever is lucky enough to greet you with a warm embrace could be in for a beautiful journey. They will be instantly transported to somewhere, elsewhere. A place that is comfortingly familiar like a long forgotten memory; a dream within a dream. Never before have I found clary sage so well presented or complimented (by the inspired addition of the jasmine marmalade accord). Caligna is a quiet masterpiece. This perfume could almost belong to the Jardin series by Hermes, particularly Jardin Monsieur Li. It is soft, light, minimalistic, exquisitely executed and utterly beautiful. I would say that although unisex, this leans slightly towards the feminine side but that does not concern me personally. Edit: I have already grown so fond of this that I've bought a back-up bottle. I know once Spring is here again that Caligna will be my favourite fragrance to wear when the sun is peeping through the branches of trees that are clothed with new life. One of my very favourite L'Artisan's. Edit 2: oops. Two back up bottles now. I've gotten in a habit of substituting putting real clary sage oil on my pillow with spraying Caligna on my pillow instead. Sweet dreams are made of this.

This is hands-down the best blind buy I've ever made, I only regret not ordering another bottle for backup. WOW. This is a rare concoction IMHO, a gem. Not only because it's beautifully formulated (I get clary sage and jasmine marmalade, absolutely, but also hints of tea, white pepper and bergamot?), but mainly because it is a masterful, acrobatic balance between opposites. It's both fresh and warm, uber chic and sexy, both smooth and piquant. How can something so discreet be so powerful? This juice elates and grounds you at the same time. It evokes the French campagne perfectly but is also skin-like. This is not Philosykos for me (as other reviewers mention), another old favourite of mine. I understand how comparisons would arise but this is an entirely different beast altogether. It is a lot richer and deeper but equally fresh, another contradiction. Very satisfying longevity and sillage. How to describe it in one word without overselling it? Masterpiece. Sorry, can't help myself. EDIT: I know this is borderline sacrilege, but (when no one's looking) I spray this on top of MFK's Baccarat Rouge 540. They are meant for each other, I swear. They play off each other's notes and solidify into a multi-layered accord that lasts and lasts and lasts. Heaven.

I've seen Caligna described as a fig scent for people who don't particularly like fig scents, and I can see why, although as a bonafide fig lover, I adore it too. Personally, I'd bathe in fig scents if I could - I love everything from the sharp green scent of the leaves and branches of the tree, over the earthy fruitiness of the real fruits, to heavily sweet interpretations of fig nectar. But I can understand how any of those can easily seem "too much" for those less in love with this note, and Caligna does seem like a great option for them. It's definitely still a fig scent - really, the fig is as juicy, sweet and delicious as any I've smelled. But it's quite subtle: there's no sharpness here at all, and no heaviness: the fig is balanced wonderfully by the softer, herbal sweetness of sage and pine. Very natural, and so uplifting! A clear summer scent, but just as lovely now, in the darkest days of winter - reminds me that there's better days ahead.

Mint, Peach Tea dreams on a warm summer day, in the woods. This to me is the most beautiful of fragrances. It's everything I want Keiko Mecheris' Peau de Peche to be, but just quite isn't. So, here's my little secret to making this THE hands down, most perfect fragrance that I've been searching for all my life. I won't tell anyone but you, Fragranticans, and only because I know I can trust you and that you'll appreciate it and not tell a soul...one spritz Caligna, two spritz Philosophies Fresh Cream. Minty, woody, sugared peachy goodness, AND you smell real real expensive and mysterious yet totally transparent and mesmerizing...and all that good stuff you expect from your perfume. Hey it ain't cheap to smell like a goddess, but at least you can buy ethereal beauty in a couple bottles of juice and become the girl (or guy) of your own dreams.

It's a natural scent. The most natural perfumes I’ve ever smelled so far belong to l'artisant parfumeur line. It's a green herbal clary sage cloud with an accent put on young milky and not rape green figs. Resembles to a clary sage medicinal decoction used for prevention of some health problems. Resinous basis (mastic) is quite strong in the very opening and hopefully then gets down and melts with airy jasmine. This resinous basis accompanies other notes all long and quite detectable at every stage including dry down. I think it adds an unisex caracter to this fragrance. Quite a good mixture of ingredients but not so long lasting. Lasts all the day with 5-6 sprays. Pleasant and quiet perfect for summer hot days.

Unisex, bright lemony fresh fragrance. This is the best,most natural, and one of the brightest citruses I have ever smelled I do not find this particular fruity or having a lot of figs. I get the smell of banana peel or the essence of fruit and the muskyness of figs. It is unique,quality, something with understated complexity, like serge lutens froide has. I think this is a brighter and more tropical kumkwat wood, where this manages to be full or rounded without oiliness,sweetness, resins, or woodyness somehow. That is a magic act if I ever smelled one I recommend this over bergamote 22 and I get 5 or 6 hours with good to fair projection.It really lingers on clothes too A masterpiece !!!

I am very fond of herbal/aromatic perfumes. I find that they do not get boring so quickly as, let’s say, citrus or floral scents. Of course, it all depends on the composition, balance of the notes, etc., but ‘Caligna’ is a great example of a masterpiece when it comes to aromatic types of fragrances. Opening greets you with a soft clary sage, a slight hint of fig, but it is very delicate. Then some floral notes come into the picture, but in a very subtle way. This perfume is very well-balanced. Soft, green, not loud, unisex fragrance that would smell beautifully on everyone. Don't expect incredible longevity or sillage. But I do not care. For me, it is a piece of art!

Beautiful! Not a straightforward fig fragrance like philosykos or premier figuier, I get more floral notes, something almost water-y like fresh cut lilies or tulips. There's still a warmth, a subtle sweetness of the the fig and honey and soft woods which keeps my nose glued to it. It's a delicate and pleasing fragrance, unlikely to offend despite being unique. For those commenters disappointed by the sillage and longevity, I think they're just going nose blind. My wife applies in the morning before work and I can always tell when we go to bed that night if she wore it or not (she applies lightly- just two sprays and no reapplication).

I have quickly finished a small sample of this. At first I thought "Oh, a fruity floral. It's very pleasant", but then I gave it a little time and I fell in love! My favourite part is the dry-down. Picture a stoney mountain path, baking sun, dry earth, a white-hot sky, aromatic herbs crushed underfoot as you climb the hill, dust in your throat, inhaling the fragrance of the parched herbs, sea shimmering in the distance. I don't get spring though - it's high summer for me (mind you I do live in Scotland )! Highly evocative. I love it! Busy saving up for a full bottle.

Wow...such a great fig/sage scent. I think this one leans more green and the sage is more prominent than in other scents (like in Ferrari Noble Fig, Figuier Eden by Armani, etc). It isn't milky or coconutty like other fig scents. I actually prefer the greener side of fig. So I am a huge fan of this. If you prefer fig scents overall, and like the greener side of fig, this is a pretty safe blind buy. L'Artisan has never let me down...and while I don't like everything they produce, there is a sense of quality throughout.

Beautiful herbs like juniper and sage, crushed pine needles, fragrant woods, and sweet yellow mimosa. Such an uplifting and happy scent. It somehow took me back in memory of time spent with family on a summer vacation in Big Bear. We went for a hike in the mountains. The evergreens were lovely, and the air and dirt were dry. There were lots of wildflowers. This perfume is delicate like the columbines, bouncing on the air, and the sun was shining brightly. Great memories, great perfume.

such a lovely scent. fig is the star here, it a milky green fig. It’s not your usual fig, it’s very green and floral comes out later. Pine needles come around once on skin for about 5 to 10minutes. I overspray this so longevity is not an issue. Sillage is good and projects more than an arms length. Definitely an everybody fragrance. Highly recommended 10/10 fig is the star in this one and recently I heard someone say fig is the new “star note” coming up!

Caligna is the smell of a hot August afternoon in a mediterranean countryside. The insects fly around and the burning sun heats up the trees, everything slows down like a typical summer afternoon, the lazyness, the figs on the wood table in the kitchen of the summer house, the mosquitos flying around them, your nap on a deckchair under the pine tree. Caligna, why are you so beautiful?

I wore this for a week straight by necessity--I had been traveling and decided to limit my luggage as much as possible. In the New Orleans spring, Caligna blossomed. The freshness of the clary sage, combined with the succulent, almost fleshy sweetness of figs, beckoned the promise of warm days under the sun. I felt confident, grown, and entirely natural. A very successful blind buy.

I blind bought this beauty and it is rocking. my. world. If you love breezy, green, natural, and sweet smells this one is one of the best that I've tried. The fig here is prominent but is comes off gentle. The scent is sweet and closer to skin. I agree with commenters that I get more leaf than fruit. But wow, what a beauty. I am in love.

This is really nice. You get a really nice fig note somewhat reminiscent of Atelier's Vetiver Fatal, but I actually like this one better. This one seems more natural and smoother. The dry down has a very clean vibe to it that lingers all day. All in all I am very pleased with my purchase and would rate this a strong 9/10.

That’s a very unique scent! It might not be pleasant for all, because of the unusual combination of notes: aromatic herbs, tart fig leaves mixed with some airy saltiness and a bit of sweetness. I think it’s a stunning summer scent. It gives the sense of mountain dew freshness. Follow me on ig: scent.guide

Caligna is a wonderful scent for summer and spring. It ́s very optimistic, light, aromatic and sensual. It forces you to smile :) The most I smell fig with clary sage and hint of citruses. If only price would be lower I would immediately buy it!

Bought as a blind buy. I generally enjoy fig scents but they don't do much with my chemistry. It smells like rotting grapefruit peels on my skin - I'm assuming that is the sage & another note doing something funky together. Not for me.

Love it! This is the fig scent I've been looking for. Very figgy, creamy, and slightly creamy. It does remind me slightly of SMW, but a fuller, creamier and fruitier version.

Caligna is a sparkly green sweet scent brings in mind a green field freshly cut. It's refreshingly calm n lovely.I can smell the fig note throughout the day.

Crying to learn that this beauty is now discontinued. RIP Caligna, hoping that you are resurrected soon!

This green fragrant is great for the hot weather. I love the wood and the slighty flower note.

A gorgeous fragrance, but too similar to Ferrari Noble Fig to repurchase a full bottle.

L’Artisan Parfumeur Caligna opens with a moderate projection fruity, floral, woody, and green notes. The fig is the fruity note that is most noticeable and mixes very well with the rose, violet, and jasmine. These three notes come across as a group of floral tones rather than individual accords. The clary sage and mandarin leaf create the next most prominent tone adding a floral and sharp green, herbaceous accord. The pine needles tone is also noticeable and adds a woody aromatic scent that the oak joins to enhance. The fragrance is relatively linear; the tones of the opening continue into the dry-down. Once L’Artisan Parfumeur Caligna has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, slightly sweet fruity (fig), floral, green, piney and herbaceous fragrance with woody accords. The fragrance feels earthy, exotic, floral, formal, herbaceous, mild, modern, nicely-blended, playful, refined, rich, versatile, woody, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020. WOW RATING: 7/10. The combination of sweet fruity, green, and floral accords is good but not outstanding. DISLIKE RATING: 1/10. Unlikely but the strong sharp green accords could be offensive to some people. UNIQUENESS: 8/10. The combination of notes creates a relatively unique fragrance. MASS APPEAL: 6/10. The fragrance is overall mass-appeal; the green accords lowers a bit its score. PROJECTION: 3/10. Moderate, about 3 feet around the wearer. SILLAGE: 4/10. Moderate, about 4 feet behind the wearer. APPLICATION: Four atomizations will suffice. LONGEVITY: 4/10. Moderate, about 4 hours with 2 of good protection. SEASONS: Spring, summer, and fall. OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, casual, holidays, romantic, dating, clubbing. This is an office-friendly fragrance. VERSATILITY: 9/10. Highly versatile, its fruity, green, and floral accords make it ideal for almost any occasion. GENDER: Unisex with a slight tilt to the feminine side because of the floral accords. AGES: Any. RECOMMENDATION: L’Artisan Parfumeur Caligna can be found discounted for about $100. It is a great and versatile fragrance but its price/value isn’t the best. It is a nice-to-have but not a must-have. BLIND-BUY: No, sample it first. SUMMARY: A moderate projection, slightly sweet fruity (fig), floral, green, piney, and herbaceous fragrance with woody accords. The fragrance feels earthy, exotic, floral, formal, herbaceous, mild, modern, nicely-blended, playful, refined, rich, versatile, woody, and pleasant.

Entirely lovable, milky, green, almost savoury fig conjuring the essence of summer in southern Europe. On me, it needs hotter weather to shine; in cool conditions it's still smooth and unctuous, but a little underwhelming. This one is fresh and light, not ripe and fruity - and tends to disappear in the cold. So: what's to love? This: as soon as the thermometer hits 24C or above, it's Caligna's time: the herbal notes start to shimmer in your own little body-heat haze, while the fig stays botanical and plant-y enough to never feel cloying or over-pushy. You will not EVER smell like a fruit salad (my own personal idea of gourmand hell) or figgy pastry. This one stays well clear of the kitchen, preferring to wander off in the dry scrubland, singing its own song. And so in the heat it cools and refreshes, rather than making you queasy. Rose, jasmine and violet often risk getting too cute for me to love - even one at a time, never mind in trio! - but rest easy - the woodier and more aromatic bits (mastic, pine needles, oak) more than balance it out and don't let the whole aura get too powdery or girly-girly. This one could be an easy unisex wear for fig fans, though the general mild, conciliatory, welcoming tone tends, slightly, to the femme side. Longevity is ... argh... the sting in the tail, as it might seem to waft away in only 2 or 3 h on skin, on me at least; so spray generously and be sure to get plenty on your clothes. If it's humid, as well as hot, you may have better luck and get little puffs of delicious Caligna-calm for far longer, maybe up to 6h. Don't go expecting beast-mode fig though - this one is a charming, discreet, low-profile herbivore of a scent. And all the more charming for that. A fig-centric summer dream, without the cliches.

I have always been fan of sage smells, so I was kind of hyped to get my nose on Caligna as I haven’t really found that many scents that has prominent clary sage note. The fragrance starts with strong and sweet clary sage that has this nice dark green herbaceous feel to it, though I always start to look if there is some anise as it reminds me of it, but no anise in Caligna. When drydown comes the clary sage still dominates the whole scent, there is just slightest hint of some woods and bit of something ambery. I wanted sage scent and I got it, but I’m not really that in to it, guess I don’t know what I really want now do I? For longevity and sillage I’d say Caligna is average, meaning I get wafts every now and then without trying to smell it and it lasts most of the day on me so that’s perfectly fine for me. Scent feels like it would work the best on either autumns or springs and more on casual side than formal I guess. I wonder if I just needed something along the clary sage to make it something that I really wanted to wear, as I still like the scent but I just feel no pull towards it, even if everything seems to point that I would love it, but it just feels ok. For clary sage lovers this would likely be something to look at, maybe you would find other facets to support its main note and not to just run over pretty much everything else in the composition.

Woah, am I sniffing the right sample? It smells a lot like Bois Farine on me, which seems to make no sense. It is a professionally labeled sample so I'm assuming it's correct. (From memory now) this was very very interesting, not at all what I was expecting! It had an almost creamy, sweet vibe to it. I was expecting sharp pine and mastica (which also smells like pinesol) so I surprised at how much sweetness I got up front. It did not strike me as masculine at all as I was expecting. Hm will report back after a solo wearing... had something else on up top and this on my leg a l'addict. ETA-------------- creamy sweet jasmine and the most delectable feminine pine sap smell imaginable. Very enticing. A touch of the inviting, delicate herbal green I associate with myrtle too, must be the clary sage? Very very good. Really enjoying my small sample and may seek a decant. Mostly creamy soft and slightly herbal, I dig everything about it so far EXCEPT the sillage (very soft, but this is again just dabbed from a 1ml sample).

scentrist I share your opinion. jasmine is quite present, I find though. also the fruity fig leaf. it has a strong milky/sage/fig opening, and jasmin comes through within a few minutes. I would have hoped for a longer stay of sage. it's then a bit of a boring thing. not herbal enough if you like sage, not indolic or candid or jammy enough if you like jasmin. and it's gone within an hour anyway. so while I'm writing I am left with traces of fig-leaf and soft (a little smoky) wood and hardly to detect conifere. not quite a scent that creates passion (nor does it calm or cheer me up either), but it is likeable. let's say it is a lovely, polite, slightly herbal jasmin. I liked it most at the atlantic coast in summer, combines well with air that's filled with salt and the smell of algues and herbal christe marine. Edit: I wear it quite often in winter and it really cheers me up; clary sage is the darling of many aromatherapists and I know now, why:-)

I have a 5ml mini bottle of this as a part of a coffret/case of 6x 5ml. A try out with 6 different scents from L'artisan. Mint note no doubts followed by mandarin leaf, it could be also thee. I can't smell the other notes as fig or roses. It is soft, semi sweet and as the most of L'artisans a skinscent fragance. It is indeed a nice scent, perfect for office and also for a casual day wear. Right now I keep getting a fresh waft of... tooth paste. I know it sounds crazy but it reminds me fresh cleaned teeth. In a good way as it smells clean and it brings a forrest air. Would I buy a FB of this? Not at this moment, but i must say it is not bad at all. Maybe a few more tests. I would like to add a comment. L'artisan scents are totally different from anything else I smelled before. From a lot of brands I can get headache but not from L'Artisan. It smells just so natural, so clean.

I love both fig fragrances of the brand because none of the two is a boring sweet fig. To me Calina smells like cracked flower stems of tulips or gigantic water lilies, fresh and watery, with a pleasant bitterness that fades away in 5-10 minutes and gets replaced by violet leaves and oris. I am glad I do not get any Rose and Jasmin. Not so much violet flowers either, because the powdery notes are not coming from flowers, but are leaning more towards earthiness and woodiness. Unfortunately, the sillage is almost non-existing after an hour or so. By the time I get pine needles and dry woods the scent becomes very intimate, with tiny sweetness where fig is no longer recognizable. I like this dry down even more than the opening, but I am sad that it does not project. Dina_France (perfume reviews on YouTube)

Mostly clary sage and violet followed up with soft fig. Today I wanted something fresh and easy on the nose, the weather being qiuite humid. I tried Chance eau Fraiche and Guerlain's Herba Fesca, but neither quite hit the mark, so I reached for Caligna. It's quite woody/green/bitter - almost like the sap of twigs. I know the scent of Clary Sage well as my sister was an aromatherapy masseur some years ago, and Clary Sage is always reputed to be a relaxing antidepressant. It's a dusty, bitter scented herb which works nicely with woody sweet fig, the violet smells edgy rather than romantic in this context. The general mood and waft is sophisticated, dry and intriguing. I like it, but I think I'm pining for Au Thé Vert - something a little easier on the nose in this heavy humid weather!

Caligna is an anomaly in my fairly mainstream wardrobe, and I love it. It’s well-blended but you can pick out almost every note, mainly the fig, pine, the strangely appealing waxy turpentine-like mastic... It’s sweet, and slightly medicinal which I usually can’t stand in perfumes but somehow don’t mind here. Not the dry, sharp medicinal quality that I get from CK Euphoria, more like an oily cream/ointment. It’s like a figgy Deep Heat or RubA535. There’s a minty cooling quality to it. Someone mentioned pickles and I can kind of see that (I think it might be the way the pine comes through at times?) but I wouldn’t have made that association if I hadn’t read it. Overall, I find it a weird and wonderful scent, great for the times when you’re feeling a bit wacky and weird yourself.

lasts forever. 12 hours + on me. it is herbal. sage, mint, pine needles. and a very distinct fig for several hours. for me there is dry down of herbal violets and jasmine. it smells like a L'Artisan bottle lid feels like to hold. cool, smooth and heavy. it can fill a big room. and the rooms smells nice. or in my case, last night at bedtime meant the entire flat smells of clary sageyness this morning. lovely. but each time i wear it, i can't decide whether i enjoy wearing it, or whether i just enjoy what it smells like...if that makes sense. this is a calming smell. like a massive hug in warm sunshine.

I bought this based on the top notes because I love fresh, green natural scents, and this is certainly that. The sage is prominent, I think, and projects the scents of a walk in the woods. Sage is everywhere where I hike and is lovely. I do also perceive strong fig from this one as well, but I do not perceive any jasmine or rose. I do think that I would reach for this if I need to surround myself with nature but can't get there, but I don't think I would use this when in my business suit dealing with clients. It seems to be just a faded skin scent after a couple of hours.

This is the beach fig scent of my dreams. Salty, herbal, light, airy, just enough fruit to let you know the fig is there. Barely sweet. Unisex. I’m sad this was discontinued. When I bought it, it was selling for such low prices I couldn’t justify a sample; I just picked up a whole bottle. The next closest scent with this herbal, salty, beach effect is Zuma 1975 by Thin Wild Mercury, though it’s stronger and more dense. I still see bottles of this floating around on line. Worth it for the fig lover who wants a different take on the note.

Pleasantly herbal with a brief bit of sage, then a quick musky dry down. This seems like a tourist perfume, something that you discover in a little shop in Italy that sums up at that moment your experiences and you purchase it hoping to carry away a bit of holiday. It’s nice and pleasant and good for the heat, clean smelling without going into lavender territory though to my nose it smelled like a subdued lavender, but that was the sage. Not my favorite from the house but won’t offend. Fresh with white musk dry down.

Smooth and fresh. Not sweet or dry, this smells wet, as close as you can get to running water without any aquatic notes. Completely unisex. In the opening, sage gives it an almost a menthol feel that is very cooling but it settles into a herbal vibe. I also get fig leaf and grass, very nice. Tested an official carded sample from fragrancenet. I don't need a full bottle for $249 but I'm enjoying the sample. I did find the body wash on clearance for a ridiculously low price and will save it for next summer.

This is a light, refreshing green floral. Zesty, even without any citrus. It's a fascinating composition; I actually like clary sage (it's a widely used essential oil, prized for its healing properties) but would never have imagined that it could be used in a perfume. The opening has an almost cologne-like quality, but complex, with hints of spices and something slightly soapy/shampoo-y. A good light but interesting fragrance for warmer weather.

Blind buy: I first smelled a green herbal pasture, uber natural and intriguing. I’m a fan of fig based scents, and this fig is more pronounced on the drydown, along with floral notes and pine needles. Wearing this on a warm Fall day, I’lll tuck it away until spring where I think this will bloom even bigger. Decent performance with low silage. Perfect unisex scent. Love it. My bottle was bought of fragrancenet with the older packaging.

Abandon any ideas of fruity or fresh zing optimism, Dora Baghriche's Caligna is a very subtle aromatic scent, which soon builds it's slightly salty base seemingly deep into the skin. A vegetal soup green note hovering above. If fig is there its hiding on my skin, yet there's a soft warmth which could carry it through the seasons. Intriguing depth, worth returning to again & again to discover its moods & range.

The dry down of this is totally like Silver Mountain Water, but more dried fruit-feeling. Where SMW goes more green, Caligna goes more warm. It's more dried fig than fresh fig. This is very unisex and I think it would smell great on anyone. The opening is definitely the most fig-like part of the scent journey, and the dry down is the most comparable to SMW - a good, more affordable alternative. Super pleasant.

Smells like ancient mediterranean romantic story. Very elegant, decent and sexy sage+fig composition which lasts just for an hour and disappears as if never existed. I prefer to overspray my wrists while very busy focussed computer hour with the headphones on. Music: Maurice Ravel. Daphnis et Chloe. Book: Robert Harris. Pompeii Movie: Ridley Scott.

It's an interesting scent and very similar to Balenciaga's B skin. Very green, fig is the most dominant note with some other green notes in the background. This scent's greenness seems even a bit too much for me. It smells so strong, I think it's would be more suitable for men. Completely without sweetness. A good quality perfume, but I wouldn't want it in my collection.

กลิ่นอ่อนใส ใช้ง่ายของบ้านนี้ไม่ได้มีแต่แม่ผีเสื้อปาปิยงนะคะ กลิ่นนี้ก็หอมน่ารักถูกใจเรามากเลย เปิดมาก็หวานคล้ายน้ําผึ้งของผลมะเดื่อสุกงอมแต่ออกชืดกว่า กับกลิ่นกุหลาบสดชัดด้วยมีกลิ่นออกสมุนไพรของใบเสจมาเสริม สักพักก็กลายเป็นมะลิครีมๆเขียว แล้วแห้งนวลไม้หอมไปเลย กลิ่นบางอ่อนไม่ทนมาก ไม่ติสต์แตก ใช้ได้เรื่อยๆเลย ปล.เก็บขวดนี้น่าจะเกิน 5 ปี กลิ่นยังดี ไม่เพี้ยนสักนิดค่ะ

As a big fan of fig scents, I enjoy this, it's right up my alley. That said, for me this wouldn't make it in the top 10 fragrances with fig notes, and similarly to most other AP fragrances I've tested, I find its sillage and longevity to be really poor. If you're into interesting, long-lasting fig scents, you can do much better than Caligna

Creamy milky fig, a little like Premier Figuier without the green. Very delicate and sweet, pretty, also more mossy than Figuier. The amber and florals are very restrained, this is a well-mannered scent; unusual, maybe slightly herbal, but not bitter. I like it for the creaminess and the delicacy of the composition. A win. :)

I immediately felt transported to Provence where I lived for a year. The parfumeur has taken two ingredients that I am slightly wary of -fig and clary sage and balanced them perfectly to create a relaxing, warming welcoming scent.Just goes to show you not to be prejudiced by notes. The art is in the parfumeur's hands.

It snows outside. And I got my 5 ml mini of Caligna.. It reminds me of rays of sunshine waking me up on a Sunday morning during the summer. The blue sky above and fresh air inviting you to start the day and make the most of it, instead of laying in bed. Gorgeous, uplifting, sunny.
