Italian Summer Fig

This is really nice. I normally don't shop from mall stores such as B&BW or Body Shop but I saw commercial of this one and supersized. Told my self that "A mall store made fig based fragrance ?". Decided to try. I want to make this clear on everybody's mind. Fig is a note that concentration of it is very low such as citrus. When the fragrance is dominated by Fig, it won't last. Whichever fig based fragrance you will put your to, they will give you about the same performance if the fragrance dominated by Fig. I own Armani's Figuier Eden and I've tested Diptyque's Philosykos EDP. Non of them gave me more than 4 hours. Smell ? This is AMAZING. When you spray it first, this eau de toilette doesn't give you any alcohol smell and when I checked under the bottle, alcohol level is 70% which is very good comparing to most fragrance with 80%. It opens up with sweet FIG dominant scent and some sweetness. I believe amber note is giving that sweetness but not too much. Green notes is there to give some grassy smell. But scent contains over 50% of Fig and Fig Leaf notes. It smells very authentic fig and very realistic, at least first 30 minutes. As you can guess, it gets lighter later on and lasted about 4 hours. Projected good for 1 hour. I don't really complain because I only paid $28 and it gives that smile to my face whenever I smell it.

Delicious and refreshing. I dont see coconut listed but I smell coconut water throughout this. Fig is the shining green star in this with a backdrop of wood. There's some florals but not at all cloying or distracting the freshness of the fig. An easy summer in a bottle, only thing missing is the hammock! This smells like an expensive designer perfume, slap a higher price tag, fancy label and many people including myself would still shell out the cash for this. This is very similar to Diptyque Philosykos. I love both to be honest, how can I turn down two wonderful fig fragrances? I do find Italian Summer Fig to be a bit sweeter with the florals. If you are on a budget and cant afford Philosykos, or interested in a good summer fragrance, then this is a perfect choice instead. The Body Shop brought this out just in time for summer(Hence the name) yet sadly, The Body Shop is notorious for creating great fragrances and discontinuing very shortly so I hope this stays!

Fragrances I get as gifts rarely turn out to be hits, but I fell in love with this one. I got it for Christmas in a Body Shop advent calendar gift set and I was wearing it immediately. Yep, even in the dead of winter this scent was too good to pass up. It screams summer. Right away you get that ripe green fig smell, then you get the grassy and woody scents below and there are just enough florals to keep it feminine. The problem is, it wears off so fast and you really only get about an hour of fragrance before it has completely disappeared. However, you're sure to get compliments during that small time frame. If you find yourself reapplying all the time, don't worry, because it's pretty inexpensive to replace. I'm curious to try the Diptyque Philosykos since everyone is saying it's similar, but it's difficult to find a store that carries it.

Wow an absolute love. I've been a perfume junkie for years but for some reason just now smelling Fig in perfume. I love it. I want to say that I also just got Diptyque Philosykos and these are pretty close in smell however this one from the Body Shop is more sweet and slightly more synthetic. They are fairly close enough where you could bi-pass the high ticket price of Diptyque to satisfy your fig cravings. Body Shop is a tad more feminine then it's more expensive counterpart. Diptyque has a more unisex feel. She's a real beauty and I am thrilled with the purchase. Very summery with a hint of coconut dancing with fig. Yet you can wear it year round proudly! Grab a bottle you will not regret it if you are a fig fan.

I am a big fan of gourmand scent so I said "eww..", wrinkled my nose and frowned when I first tested this fragrance on my wrist at the store. I stepped out empty-handed. Later on that afternoon, I went to get myself a cup of coffee at my regular cafe. I sat outdoor since the weather was nice. A warm wind blew softly and suddenly a very beautiful scent struck my nostril. I tried to look for where the scent came from and realised that it just came right from my own wrist. I went back to grab a bottle of this and one more bottle on the next day. It is a short-lived fragrance on me but I never mind reapplying over and over again. I am in love.

I have both the edt and edp of Philosykos cause I do love them and smell highly natural and juicy...they remind of fig trees and to be more specific of the fig leaves I usually smell and see when I am in Greece...Yesterday, when in Pandorf, Autria, I smelled Italian summer fig and it was the first time I regreted having bought the 2 bottles, this smells almost 97% like philosykos for a fraction of the price...besides it comes with many other products which can indeed enhance the performance of it..which is not that good in philosykos either.... Fig lovers, do not be fooled by the brand and try this...

Mmmmm.....this is really lovely. I've got to admit I wasn't keen on the fig note but this among other scents changed my mind. Yes there is a natural sweetness but it's curbed by the slightly bitter vine leaf note. It doesn't change much at all. The amber and sweetness come through more as it begins to fade. A simple fresh, juicy yet dry scent that's perfect for spritzing on a hot day. It's a shame the longevity is pants but it's cheap juice so you can be generous and respray. It might be a cheap fragrance but it smells good quality and almost niche. Very unisex and I think hard not too enjoy.

Got this at a mall for $32 blind bought,the lady somehow insisted me to try other scents before buying,maybe people didn't like it? The scent doesnt change at all,what you spray is what you get,it smells like a hotel,clean and fresh,it's a sweet-grass scent,the sillage is very poor,longevity is just slightly below average, Bottle: 3.5,lets be real here its kinda ugly Packaging:6.5 Scent:7.5 Uniqueness:2 Sillage:4 Longevity:4.5 Repurchase? Yes,its way more affordable then L'AP & diptyque and they smell quite similar as well,also its great put this on when you wanna smell clean

I miss all the good stuff when it's around! This is a discontinued fragrance I snagged online. At less than 20gbp, this is a hugely affordable alternative to Diptyque Philosykos and Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi. It is not an exact match lacking the coconut and fig leaf but the principle note of fig is lovely and the mix of green notes and amber lend it a similar green creaminess. The opening is harsh which confirm the cheaper nature of the fragrance but it fades soon enough. Sadly so does the perfume itself but at this price I will happily spritz away.

I am so sad that this lovely green juice is no longer available in The Body Shop. This scent is GREEN and it is the most authentic fig I ever smelled. This scent smells like broken leaves and twigs on a fig tree, it is creamy and non sugary, but it also devoid of any sourness or harshness. If a green, creamy and slightly powdery scent was possible, then this would be it. It smells so good that a couple of young girls had to ask me was I was wearing. It is simply ageless and delicate.

Not bad, didn't think much of it at first (sample). But I remember spraying the sample on my wrist in the summer and it was good times. Fresh, zesty but light, and green and sweet but also, a bit ...bitter? in a good way, like you're smelling the figs and the grass and a bit of soil or lemony ish. Really wouldn't mind having this again. The longevity is questionable but the scent is fresh and juicy and is unlikely to give anyone a headache.

I don't know why but I love this scent!! I first fell in love with the fig note when I bought Pacifica's Mediterranean fig perfume. This is a beautiful surprise. I bought the full bottle right on the spot. A couple of months later I ordered the body lotion and another full bottle on sale on line. Its fresh, light and that fig note is the star of the show here. I LOVE it!!

Whilst trying to replicate Philosykos I first found Christianne Celle Figue, the epitome of over ripe, oozing, fig perfection. I thought that was it...I have just found the perfect green fig, crushed leaves,sharp green figginess with depth, WOW.Love it.

Very fresh green figs on the vine. When the fruit are underipe with milky sap. Fades very fast but I got a bollte for 15$ so happy to douse myselk in it. Invigoratibg figgy green freshness. ⛤⛤⛤

This was so beautiful and summery but of course dicontinued as every other gorgeous fragrence ive fallen in love with🤷🏼♀️Or maybe it was just a special edition? 🙄
