Fig Extract

This was/is my FAVORITE fig fragrance. I had it in the oil rollerball and perfume spray. ROYAL APOTHIC, PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!! Fruity with some green freshness...I couldn't get enough of it! PLEASE PLEASE GIVE THIS SCENT A TRIUMPHANT RETURN!! :-)

Different than expected, but pleasantly surprised. It's basically sweet, lemony laundry detergent with an understated but distinct fresh green fig. My boyfriend also said it smelled like laundry detergent, but in a good way. Normally I'd expect a laundry detergent vibe to come off as synthetic, artificial, maybe even a bit cheap. Instead this comes across as vibrant, cheery, clean, sweet, and oddly creative. It's a fun alternative to clean soapy scents, or lemony fresh scents. Also has good longevity, especially for something a bit citrusy. I disliked Molinard's Figure, which to me was basically just a harsh, stinging, sour lemon cleaning product smell, with a random weak fig note in the background; it was a pass for me. This to me does what Molinard should've done. Apparently this has been discontinued, but I'd maybe buy a full bottle if it was still around.

Found this at a thrift store in the rollerball style. I applied several circles on my arm and was overwhelmed by its strength. Sharp and biting soap/lemon/detergent/cleaner/air freshener. I asked my spouse to smell it a few minutes later and he recoiled. A few hours later it was mild and sweet. So the next day I tried applying it lightly and it was much nicer.
