Fig Leaf

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to test this one but I am in love! I might need a full bottle. It comes across to me like a work-appropriate Carnal Flower, and it kind of has a shampoo freshness about it. Not to say that it smells like a shampoo, but more so that it’s just sooo beautifully clean. It hits all the right floral notes while still remaining zesty and green. Beautiful, bright, lush, and irresistible.

What everyone else says: juicy, tart, green opening, which melts after a couple hours into a creamy musk. Reminds me of having a crush on your teacher. If the opening is the naïve surface of that feeling - something bright and feminine, an encouraging comment in a room full of people, a slice of daylight - then the dry down is a not-so-naïve after-hours fantasy of hushed voices, proximity, privacy.

sticky weeping photorealistic fig plant. lush and lively and oh so green. slightly sweetened by the soapy undertone that slowly takes front and center as the scent develops. death of a ladies man, lilac no 4, and fig leaf are grouped together in my brain...fig leaf wears overalls and a permanent grin as a uniform and enjoys taking long walks and air drying laundry in the outdoors.

it's spring personified. while the fig is green and crisp, the supporting notes round out the edges and make it among the creamiest of scents in my personal collection. i have this scent in rollerball form and the way it radiates off my pulse points is crazy! this is the first of UF's collection that i have been able to put into coherent words because it is such an easy reach.

I'm a fairy and I've just tucked myself into my matchbox bed using a freshly picked leaf as a blanket. The sharp and slightly bitter opening transforms into something still gorgeously green but ever so slightly softer as it dries down on my skin. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning and wash my face with a droplet of morning dew and weave baskets using blades of grass.
