Figue du Forêt

Super fresh and green. I love this because it doesn’t smell “cheap” and I’m obsessed with green fig scents. I can see it being not sweet enough for some but I’m not a fan of really gourmand-y fragrances so for me it’s perfect! Can’t beat the price either.

Pair this with creme brulee Le Monde, You're welcome.

I just picked up the Hair and Body EDT and I am really loving this. It reminds me strongly of Hermes' Un Jardin En Méditerranée with the green fig note. There's also the subtle hint of green pepper that's too prominent in DS & Durga's Debaser. (Unfortunately, I can't compare with Philosykos or Pulp). This cheapie is a touch sweeter, more feminine than either of those, and yes, as someone else mentioned, a bit soapy but in the best figgy way. I loved the Hermès one but found it too weak to purchase. I just sold Debaser because it started making me nauseous; maybe it was the overly bright green pepper crunch mixed with a coconut note I couldnt stomach. Anyway, this hits my love for the Hermès, but it has a fresh, fizzy brightness that's so good. It smells niche, doesn't last long, but it was super cheap! Oh, don't listen to the "this smells like" recommendations for Nest Indigo, The Noir, or The Matcha. I own all 3 and this smells nothing like them. Also, doesn't smell like Father Figure and not remotely like Wood Sage & Sea Salt.

Funny how things work. I would never have purchased this if I had looked up the notes before smelling. However, I was milling about in Marshall's one day and happened upon this beauty that I couldn't stop sniffing. It's a rare thing to find a dark purple type scent that's light and not jammy and suffocating. I bought Elizabeth Arden's version of Green Tea and Fig many moons ago and stashed it away in a drawer immediately upon smelling. The fig and green tea notes were sharp and discordant. Maybe I'll pull it out to see if sitting has helped it any. But THIS is subtle and beautiful. I'm guessing the almond milk helps the blend. As someone who steers clear of almond scents I must say I'm pleasantly surprised by this. I plan to use it as a bedtime fragrance, soft and cool for hot summer nights.

I think this is supposed to be for enjoyers of Father Figure by Phlur or Philosykos. The name and notes are similar to FF but while It’s *sort of* in the realm of FF I would probably be more likely to clock it as a Philosykos dupe. As a Father Figure enjoyer, I sort of get what they’re doing but they’re too different to be able to truly recommend to someone looking for that vibe. It is very nice though! Sillage is pretty close as most of Le Monde Gourmand scents tend to do, but this is a nice light unisex fragrance that would be nice to layer with maybe something a little spicy? Or even just sweeten it up with some vanilla. It’s fresh and powdery and pretty good!

Figue du Foret is a simple delight to the senses. It’s just right. When I first got my discounted bottle from TJ Maxx, I started wearing it to bed nearly every night— something I hadn’t really been moved to do before. It’s quite clean and just slightly sweet. It’s a mindless choice for me because I know it would never do me wrong. Don’t underestimate this scent in the colder weather either. Sure, green fig is generally associated with spring, but it can add a sweet, fresh depth to a fall or winter layering combo. In a perfect world, maybe a cardamom or sandalwood note would push this a step further. But it’s not trying to be anything it’s not, and I like that.

I love the green and citrus bite this scent has. I have been looking for a similar fragrance to Thomas Kosmala Neon bc I just burn through mine so fast and love it and when I smelled this in the store it gave me that same general impression minus the dry musk and Ambroxen - used a very light layer of TK No4 Original Apres L’Amour’ and even though the notes are not the same it smells pretty close to Neon when combined !. I do really like this one though by itself it’s great for summer!

i also have the hair and body mist, i picked up from tj maxx! its a very creamy fig scent to me and i absolutely get the almond notes. it does not come across as very 'green' or 'verdant' to me. i could see it being worn any time of the year, during the day time. it could be layered perhaps with a spicy or more heavy musky scent for the evening. it does not read as floral, citrusy or green to me so i do see it having potential for winter and fall, at least for my body chemistry!

this opens with a strong fig with tea. a greener fig, but there is some sweetness, but not too much. more of a fresh scent due to the tea. after awhile the perfume softens a bit and i get maybe a hint of almond rounding things out, but i'd say this is primarily a fig/tea scent. it's refreshing and very pretty. i don't think it's sharp at all, as others have said, but i don't go for sweet/fruity notes so much and enjoy the greener types of fig.

I have the body spray and the perfume version. Perfume lasts a little longer but the body spray is still good. This isn’t a jammy fig. more of a sweet fresh fig. This goes well when I just washed my hair because it has a nice shampoo note. It does not last even when I over spray. A good gym scent. Lasts longer on clothes. easy reach when i can’t decide what else to wear during the day. Would never wear this at night. It

feminine, a powdery soap. barely fig--more like a touch of spring if anything. very nice, a creamy green frag, would recommend for a femme fragrance. as someone who prefers unisex scents, i used the bottle but will not rebuy. the body mist is wonderful though

This is a bright, fresh, green fig! Not too sweet or woody, but almost purely to fruit itself. I can practically taste the skin of it. Pretty dang realistic, if you ask me.

Bright, tart with a light sweetness. I can definitely smell the fig which is one of my favorite scents. Will be great to over spray this one in the summer.

I have the body mist she’s very floral very feminine , very fresh out the shower kind of vibe , I see myself wearing this in the summer and spring

Creamy, milky, purple fig. With all of the green fig perfumes on the market, this is such a nice lactonic alternative. Almond and fig are two of my all-time favorite notes and you certainly smell them. The tea really balances the whole experience out and brings the perfume back down to earth. There is certainly a synthetic undertone here, but what do you expect for $25?! For the price, this is amazing! I was genuinely surprised by the projection on this too. The longevity is pitifully weak though. Fortunately, this is super easy to just toss in your purse and keep on you for touchups. I'd give this a 7/10 considering the price! EDIT: The more I've worn this, the less I like it unfortunately. There is a really harsh metallic note in the top that gives the perfume almost like a sour, musty, BO scent. Unfortunately, this metallic note lingers throughout the majority of the wear as well. It's still bearable and wearable, but I really wish that just wasn't there. Then this would be perfect.

Very fresh and green, leans slightly masculine because of the sharp green tea note (though the LMG website says it’s white tea, it’s really smells green). Reminds me of BBW white tea and ginger Not getting any sweetness at all, even though one of the notes is SWEET almond milk. It really needs that sweetness, it’s just too green and almost bitter like matcha. I would wear this layered with vanilla, not on its own, but this is nice and strong, clean and fresh

As a connoisseur of fig fragrances, I can confidently say that this is not a dupe of any of the popular fig fragrances you are searching for. This is soap. It doesn't smell bad, by any means. It just smells like soap. If you're wanting a cheapy fig that actually smells like fig, go with Demeter Fig Leaf!

This is a dupe for Byredo Pulp, except the green tea note in Figue du foret is blown out of proportion, way too sharp. Aside from that, alarmingly similar scent. Green fig, bright. Reading the reviews below, this is NOT a dupe for Wood Sage & Sea Salt; drastically different perfume in my opinion.

I eyed this for a few weeks, smelled it in TJ Maxx and thought I loved it, so I bought it, but I ended up returning it. On me, a sharp bitterness came out that overpowered the fruity fig and fresh tea I was hoping would be predominant.

Smells almost identical as Glass Rose by Mix:Bar. Longevity is pretty darn good and it’s fresh and floral and fruity for a loooong while until it dries down to a slightly woodsy yet still fruity scent. Not bad for what it is!

Update: I've had my bottle for probably over a year now, and now it kinda just smells like sparkling grapes... like sparkling grape juice. But I'm kind of obsessed with it lol

This is quite a green fig. Very straightforward. The almond is giving it a slight powderiness, which makes this borderline soapy. Clean and basic.

way too green and herbal and I usually like those scents. Does no smell like Jo Malone. I'd have to test it longer on the skin.

too woody and herbal smelling for my liking but there is some fruity sweetness underneath that I wish came out more and blended smoother with the other notes not terrible, had potential but oh well..

smells really herbal and green and although it's a really light and fresh scent, the green note in this leans a little sharp

This has a weird swampy ‘sweaty’ sour smell for someone reason.

this is a happy scent for me. bright, tart, and sweet fig. i'm not a gourmand enjoyer (this house makes a lovely rose oil, which is why i gave this a try), but this is so cheerful that i don't mind. it encapsulates my childhood memories of spring mornings around easter— i'd love wearing it that time of year. philosykos was not up my alley because it was too bitter and sharp, but this is like its popular cheerleader 13 year old daughter; palatable and sweet, incomplex and optimistic. i've been using it on my bed lately because it transports me to happier weather :)

It smells like Marc Jacobs Perfect with the almond milk, the fig in this is very green. I believe the tea can emulate the rhubarb in Perfect. It smells a tad bitter and also floral, there may be an unlisted rose note. It’s a bit cheap smelling and sharp, the fig is not sweet.

This is very similar to Byredo Pulp. I like it. You know how when you eat something sour, and, your salivary glands go into overdrive... you know that feeling? Byredo Pulp does that to me when I smell it. This does too.

This smells like something I’ve smelled before and can’t quite put my finger on. Maybe like a fruity shampoo from the 2000s. Not offensive but not a sweet milky fig like I wanted.

If you want a dupe for Jo Malone’s Wood Sage and Sea Salt, this is it! Smells just like it! A perfect match!!!

Figue DE LA forêt would be a better name.
