Moroccan Fig

Yeah I can see how the opening would be a little kookie if you are not a huge fan of vegital green. Its like you are snapping green peppers of the garden stalk and having a bite. I love it. After the first 10 minutes of crunchy green, the fig leaf takes center stage. Its got the same vibe as Philosykos, but I think its cranked up a bit. Its got better projection on me and lasts better. Might be a bit rougher around the edges but I kinda like that. Its got a bit more of a woody fig tone than philoskos, allong the lines of Hermes Jardin Med. Lasted all day on me, turning from a bitter sappy snaped steam into a creamy coconut under palm fronds. If you love fig leaf (no figgy jam here) and can handel vegital and bitter scents this might be for you.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. This is a deeply moving, utterly amazing scent. I own a lot of fragrances, but this is almost too good for my collection. It's astounding - very green and fresh - good lord, milky sweet, but so subtly - so fresh, so fern and skin. Absolutely brilliant. Really clever. Screw the comparisons below - go and get this on you, it's a live one.

I love figs. Love to eat them, smell them, prepare dishes that include them... So when I saw the note profile of this scent I just knew it would be perfect for me. The opening is citrusy fresh and a bit minty to my nose although mint isn’t listed in the scent’s pyramid. Heart notes soon become prevalent with the ripe sweet fig stepping to the fore. I do not get the coconut from this fragrance at all although there is a vague creaminess at dry down that may be explained by the coconut’s presence. Each time I’ve worn this I did get compliments and my partner absolutely loves it on me. Those are all the good points. The bad part is that there is something here that just doesn’t agree with my olfactory senses. After a few hours of wearing this wonderful smelling concoction, my nose itches and burns and I can literally ‘taste’ the chemicals of this eau de toilette in the back of my throat as if I’d drank from the bottle. I wanted to love this and do love how it smells, but not being able to enjoy it as intended, I ended up giving my bottle to a friend.

Got this at tj maxx for $30, hard to pass up. The first few times I sprayed seemed super similar to Philosykos— good blind buy if you’re a fan. Would have to agree with the person who said this is like a neutered version, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. I think it has potential for layering. Not as creamy and juicy as Philosykos, super green and dry. Hint of rubberiness but in a good way imo. Not picking up on the green pepper note. Sits close to the skin. Mediocre longevity.

This is an interesting scent. I dont really like or dislike it - pretty neutral. To me it smells like burnt rubber mixed with coconut cupcakes lol. Thats the only way I can explain it. It is like a milder version of Fat Electrician to me. I plan to wear this more and I am sure it will grow on me. I just got a month supply from scentbird.
