Royal Green Fig and Vanilla Woods

At last, a fig that makes up for my monumental disappointment with Diptyque's Philosykos, which smelled divine from the bottle but turned sour on my skin within an hour. This is fantastic! Lucy B's Royal Green Fig and Vanilla Woods is so very figgy with a perfect blend of vanilla and wood notes. I detected some green notes, very little pepper, and no coconut at all. Imagine a freshly carved wooden bowl filled with the ripest figs and drizzled with a little vanilla liqueur. Heavenly! Sillage was great, about 4 feet and it lasted a good 6-7 hours. Actually, 11 hours later I can still detect the tiniest scent of it. I've nearly used up all five of my sample vials and can't wait to get my hands on a full bottle!

This is the first fig scent I've tried, so I can't compare it to any others out there, but I really like this. It has a spicy/woodyness to it, but the vanilla keeps it from being too masculine (although this would smell amazing on a guy!) It reminds me of something.... like leather, but greener and figgy-er. It's really interesting and has me going back again and again for another sniff. This is going to the top of my want list :) UPDATE: I've had this now for about a week and I can't tell you how much I love this fragrance! I'm sitting here marinating in about 8 sprays and it is just bliss :) figgy, woody, green loveliness.

this perfume, like habanita, is a work of genius in my opinion. both of them are priced to where anyone can own a bottle. truly figgy and truly woody and the blending is seamless. it projects well but isn't cloying or overpowering. very feminine in a satisfying way. sexy but not scandalous, comforting but not foodie, feminine but not girly, friendly but not flirty. and just a stunning scent.

I just LOVE this one...it's a green fig perfume not sugary fig. Every thing is perfectly balanced. Virtualy perfect :-)

I have a rollerball, which may differ from the experience one gets with the spray... From far away, the opening has a papery, waxy smell. Almost like a box of crayons. When you bring your nose closer to the skin, it is very green, earthy and almost vegetal. It reminds me of a green bell pepper, and damp soil, maybe even a bit of petrichor. After only 10 minutes, the coconut and fruity fig become noticeable. This is not a sweet fragrance. I would say it's actually quite androgynous. It's fresh, but also quite different from my other woody / green scents. It makes me feel like a smart, clean, 'cool girl.' Like - crisp white t-shirt under a leather jacket and some fashionable sunglasses- type of cool. The only downside with the rollerball is that the fragrance is quite thick and oily on the skin, and it doesn't last terribly long.
