Fig Me Up

To call myself a fig fanatic is an understatement, so thinking about how I almost misjudged this scent is heartbreaking. I was really excited a while back when the launch was announced (AI ads aside), and then, once I smelt it in store I just got a wiff of artificial freshness that didn’t get close to what I was hoping for. THEN months later, one of my friends blind bought this fragrance and I got to try it on my skin, it opened my eyes. Fig me up is a juicy realistic fig that gets a deeper sweetness from the plum, long lasting, great sillage. This is the fig scent that represents the sweet and fragile fig that becomes undone all over your fingers as you bite into it. Reminds me of finishing work at 9pm in my little Spanish coastal town. All I looked forward to after every shift was eating purple figs on the beach with the summer breeze carressing my shoulders.

Very nice upfront. I get a lot of God Of Fire vibes in the opening with some mango which I was not expecting. Think GOF with Plum and’s fig. Definitely loud for the first 20-30 minutes. It’s very uplifting and fruity but not sickening sweet whatsoever. In the dry down it becomes much smoother, softer and completely transformed where the musk and sandalwood linger on throughout the remainder. Longevity is sub par on my skin. I get about 4-5 hrs in total which is unlike most of my Manceras. This is NOTHING like Fig Ecstasy, which is very earthy and Robust. I see myself wearing this more in the Spring and Summer than Fall and winter but it’s easily well rounded. More unisex than expected as well, but I’ll let it sit and do its magic like most of this line, give it 3 months and it’ll probably fries from good to great.

Fig Me Up completely caught me by surprise. This fragrance is incredibly smooth, effortlessly elegant, and refined without ever feeling too formal. It's the kind of scent you can wear every single day and still feel put together. The fig note is front and center, beautifully supported by a creamy sandalwood that gives it a soft, comforting finish. From the very first spray, this fragrance just made me happy. Mancera has done it again—another home run. This is easily one of my favorite additions to the collection.

This is beautiful!! Fig Me Up opens with a sweet, juicy fig and candied violet smell. I don't detect any oud. This is a linear fragrance IMO. There's a slight greenness to the fragrance, possibly from the fig leaf note. Other than that, it's a massive appealing sweet and fruity fig fragrance with a candied violet smell in the background, giving it a slight powderiness and making it lean slightly feminine. Really nice. Easy reach.

Blind smelling I can pick: - Definitely fig - Some sweet fruity sourness that gave me tingles in the chin, like mouthwatering (cherry or smth) - the stronger note so far - Some kind of fresh moss quality that feels almost piny - Creamy sweet tonka For me its the perfect fig fragrance, it gives you the sweet crisp dry fig note with juicy and sour fruits and a sweet creamy base.
