Under the Fig Tree

This week, I’m so excited to dive into one of my all-time favorite fragrance families… Fig! I just love the gorgeous, warm, green and slightly sweet aroma of figs. It strikes the perfect balance of fresh yet comforting, playful and sophisticated. Whether you’re new to fig fragrances or a longtime lover, here are my top picks that truly capture that special magic of this note.

Giorgio Armani – Privé Figuier Eden 

One of my all time favourite scents… It’s so smooth with its blend of green fig, citrus zest, pink pepper, and amber wood. I can’t resist its velvety soft touch, which beautifully contrasts with the fresh, raw citrus and woody notes. It’s a fragrance that feels both elegant and inviting!

Diptyque – Philosykos

Philosykos delivers an incredibly refreshing scent that lingers all day. It opens with a vibrant green aroma, transitioning into a creamy, seductive milk note. This fragrance beautifully captures the essence of fig trees and cedar, creating a unique blend. With fresh, woody undertones and a hint of sweetness from coconut, it brings a Mediterranean vibe to your skin.

D.S. & Durga – Debaser

I love the combination of fig and coconut in Debaser! I feel like this is a slightly creamier version of Philosykos. This fragrance brings memories of warm beach days ad magical, love and music filled nights. It opens with fresh top notes of bergamot, pear stem, and green leaf that draw you in. As it develops, the heart unveils fig, coconut milk, and iris, creating such a comforting but unique aroma.

I genuinely think this is a truly refreshing fragrance for everyone! This unisex scent embodies the spirit of the Italian Mediterranean and tts clean notes of fig and fruit bring to life the sun-soaked beauty of the region. Each spritz invites you to experience a unique blend of art, nature, culture and it’s like a breath of fresh air!

Vilhelm Parfumerie – Purple Fig

I feel like Purple Fig isn’t your typical fig fragrance… It leans greener and moodier, with a leafy freshness and a gorgeous dusky elegance. The opening has a peppery aroma that I absolutely love, before it slowly releases into green fig with just a hint of jasmine, making the whole scent feel refined and so alluring.

Le Labo – Figue 15 Candle

As a long-time Le Labo fan, I love having my home filled with their amazing scents. The candles are powerful; lighting one immediately fills the room with its rich aroma. One of my favorites is ‘Figue 15’, a delightful mix of fig and blackberry. It’s cosy and inviting, and I can even smell it when it’s not lit. The elegant packaging adds a touch of luxury, making it a perfect addition to any mantelpiece or nightstand. Each time I light it, I feel such a sense of joy and comfort.
