Way more patchouli than fig
I blind bought this following my new crush on fig fragrances, and I'm confused! It's a very good perfume don't get me wrong, but it's way more patchouli-centered than fig-centered. Another thing: the juice in my bottle is darker than the one shown here, it's golden brown. My wife, me and my friend felt as if this is not finished project, it has no top notes, few middle notes, and strong heavy but simple patchouli at the base. - It opens up with big plast of synthetic nail polish smell thats harsh and awful. - 20 mins later: light fruity fig smell with patchouli starts to apear - At 1 hour mark the fragrance becomes 90% patchouli (dusty, earthy, dark chocolate) and 10% hint of fig leaves/fruit, it's overall dry rather than juicy fruity, and it continues like that for up to 8-10 Hs. It is a very good candidate for layering, with fruity, floral, vetiver and few rich ambry fragrances. Do I like it? Yes, I do for the simplicity and quality. Does it itch the fig edge? Big No
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

ATTENTION
To appreciate this one, you need to enjoy unusual, kind of challenging scents. I thought my bottle had gone bad, because the first impression was that it smelled like and old tome... nothing perfume-y about it. It took me a while to understand that *that* was actually the perfume. To me, it goes on the same vibe as Youth Dew by Estee Lauder. It is different and not your typical fig fragrance. It starts strong, but gets softer and powdery. Lasts forever. Proceed at your own risk.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Very nice
Very nice. Warm powdery oriental, may be a little spicy. Figue note ( or rather figue milk) is blended with flowers( violet, heliotrope?) and with amber, sandalwood and patchouli. A little goes a long way (max. 2 small sprays are more than enough) but the projection is average. Reminds me of the old Must de Cartier. If you do like Obsession, Moschino pour Femme etc. it's worth trying.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Really bad
The scent of this is truly one of the worst I have ever experienced. Not a good smell at all. I thought by the description it would be a beautiful scent but trust me, it's far from beautiful. It is just terrible. I love FRAGRANCEX. They are very quick in the shipments and easy to order. The prices are exceptional.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Lovely perfume!!
I like this perfume because it smells different than others on the market. It reminds me of the beach, very musky and warm.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
