#009 Figorativo

It’s an honest fragrance. It smells exactly like the notes they mention on their website. I bought the experience samples before purchasing it and Figorativo was my favorite from the set of 6. I have been wearing Dune by Dior since 2009 and although some of the notes are similar, this one is certainly not a dupe. Figorativo smells like how a chic person should, it leans towards its woody and flowery notes. The bergamot and lemon notes are sparkly and are there just in the beginning, making room for a soft fruity fig that blends well with the flowers (cyclamen and geranium are the stars here) and the cedar. It’s the kind of perfume you would like your house to smell like, and probably the kind of scent you would like to feel on other people’s skin. Dune Dior leans more to a fresh wood day wear fragrance, it’s office safe, it’s gym safe and I would say it’s a 24h fragrance. It’s one of my favorites due to its versatility. Figorativo retails for around R$300,00/50ml (U$60) which is an amazing price for a niche scent. Definitely will repurchase!

Usei por um período e deixei descansando por alguns meses. Figorativo é muito elegante. Abre com os cítricos e o cassis, e rapidamente o figo aparece, e acompanha todo o tempo da aplicação. O gerânio é mais proeminente que o jasmin, bem delicado. Cedro e musk sobrepõem o âmbar. Nada enjoativo, porém marcante, é um ativador de memórias.
