Fleur de Figuier

Despite of synthetic smell in its initial spray, this one is a real deal! As a vintage lover, this “modern-simple” and cheap fragrance has surprisingly stolen my attention. The figs (fruit, leaf, wood) are in it all the time, so I’m a bit confused with some reviewers who’re failed to detect it. And yes, this one smells like Sea & Sun In Cadaques by Salvador Dali, only stronger and more intense with strong fig-milk presence, while S&S goes into more aquatic direction.

My fav one amongst solinotes. Oh man this one soooo yummy and sexy. Sweet and sour perfectly balance. Best one in solinotes for me. Get this if you into sweet fragrance.

This smells amazing. I am super impressed with this fragrance. Milky fig with hints of greeness.

The notes as listed on the website Floral & Fruity Fragrance. TOP NOTES: Fig, Bergamot, Rosewood. HEART NOTES: Lily of the Valley, Green Tea, Neroli. BASE NOTES: Cedar, Tonka Bean. Fleur de Figure opens with a bitter green note. At first I thought it was petitgrain, but I think it’s actually the neroli, they can smell similar. It's a “crushed green” scent, like trimming the stems of cut flowers before you put them in the vase. It really does smell like biting into a sun-warmed green fig straight off the tree. It leans toward the fresh, less sweet green fig rather than the richer sweetness of a purple fig. If you’ve never had the pleasure of biting into a fig straight off the tree, the flavour is a sort of mix of bright grape-like sweetness and a green freshness that would be bitter if not for the fruit’s natural sweetness. As the fragrance dries down it turns to sort of a bitter green, musky, skin scent. I enjoy it quite a lot, though I did read a review saying it smelled like vape, which made me laugh, honestly, I can’t even disagree. It does have that sticky-sweet vape cloud vibe. 😄

Sits very close to the skin, but it smells really good. Sweet, woody yet fresh. After reading the reviews, I thought I’d better return it before breaking the seal. Glad I used my own judgement. Nothing earth shattering, but it doesn’t smell like anything I own in my collection.

The fig leaf is very distinct in this one. So distinct it should be called Feuilles de figuier instead. Has a very fruity opening and that fig milk undertone. I really like it, even though sometimes I find it a little cloying.

It's very nice (or was when I first bought it), but the bottle goes 'off' quickly. I've kept mine in a dark closet for about 3 years, and it smells funky. If you buy, just use it up quickly.

I get a lot of grapefruit and floral for me. Some fig and woodiness after it dries down. Definitely a warm weather scent. Nice for the office or for "white t-shirt" situations.

Sweet and clean, "out of the shower" scent. Moderate longevity and sillage. Good quality compared to the price tag, as other Solinotes perfumes.

I could not enjoy this one because it gave me migraines. This one smelled like sweet fig jam but with a strong sandalwood base note. The drydown smells like hairspray and an empty cardboard box of raisins and their stems. I guess dried figs and dates smell similar too, now that I think about it. Nest Indigo also has the sweet jam and an intense woody basenote also but was more fresh smelling and had a bit more complexity in its scent. Of course Indigo isn't advertising itself solely as a fig fragrance like this one is.... solely ....Solinotes! Get it? Lol. Anyway, both give me headaches. My mom did enjoy it though, she says it reminded her of the scent of guayabate -- a candied guava paste or jam.

Very aiuthentic smelling. Stronger in the drydown and somewhat salty. Recommended if you want a true fig perfume.

Hard pass. Totally underwhelmed. Honestly, just didn't like it. I love green, creamy, woody figs, so wanted to at least like this enough to keep (even knowing it would probably be jammier than what I'd usually prefer). The fig was almost invisible. Whatever was barely there was jammy, not green. It was overall just sweet, synthetic, generically fruity, and smells kind of cheap. A little irritating to the nose. Generally everything from Solinotes is either cloying, irritating to the nose, or has terrible performance. This wasn't the worst I've tried from Solinotes, but still, not worth it. Cheap houses with some solid standouts for quality and performance are MIX:BAR and the Urban Outfitters cheapies for $18. And a great mid-range sweet green slightly-gourmand fig is Green Fig & Vanilla Woods by Lucy B, which is complex, but really grew on me, and is now one of my signature favorites. It was much more what I was hoping for from this, and definitely worth checking out.

Soo synthetic and cloying. Cannot smell fig at all, on me it was just a mess.

Sublime surprise, sometimes a small investment gives you a great return... eh eh! That's right, a wonderful, delicious low-cost perfume! Bought because I love fig perfumes, this is a fresh fruity fig, sparkling if we want, the great thing is that these solinotes perfumes can be used alone or combined with other fragrances from the same company, you can indulge yourself and create your own personalized ones I like it, a perfume that has nothing to envy of the most famous ones in my opinion, its duration is absurd.... I put it on in the morning and I can smell it until the next day!

The notes are incorrect. It’s note fig and milk but fig milk (sap). So the eventual milky feeling is very vegetal and has nothing to do with cows. I bought it as intended to add a sweet fig layer to cottony fragrances. I’m surprised to enjoy it for itself. It’s not to jammy, not to green, not to juicy. Simply evocative. Discreet but present. I don’t believe it’s only fig trees and leaves. It’s clearly a fruity floral, more freesia than peony to me. Something connected to an Éclat d’Arpège feeling, but with an end of summer mood. Edit: more grapes than figs?

I dislike intensely the scent of fig in nature so I was surprised to find out that it is barable for me in cosmetics and certain perfumes, Solinotes fig being one of them. I think this could be unisex, well borderline unisex. It is good for anyone who doesn't want a strong perfume but still wishes for a bit of sweet freshness, sillage and distinctive yet not overwhelming presence.
