Fig Infusion by Essential Parfums: Notes, Longevity and Review
Share
Fig Infusion by Essential Parfums smells like ripe figs eaten under the trees on a hot afternoon. Composed by Nathalie Lorson and inspired by the light of southern France, this unisex Eau de Parfum keeps the fig front and center with citrus, tea and soft woods around it.
What Does Fig Infusion by Essential Parfums Smell Like?
The opening is juicy and green at once. Ripe fig leads with its milky, slightly coconut-like sweetness, lifted by mandarin and clementine that add a sparkling citrus brightness. It smells like the moment you split a fig open. The heart softens into florals and tea: freesia and orange blossom bring a gentle, sunny sweetness while Sri Lankan black tea adds a dry, aromatic edge that stops the composition from becoming too sugary. In the drydown, Virginian cedarwood and creamy sandalwood create a warm, comforting woodiness, with benzoin adding a balsamic, almost vanilla-like glow. The overall feeling is relaxed and luminous, a scent that smells like doing nothing on purpose.
Notes, Concentration, and Performance
Fig Infusion is an Eau de Parfum concentrated at 17 percent. Longevity is moderate at four to six hours, with a soft to moderate projection that stays close to the wearer. It is a gentle, intimate fragrance rather than a room-filler, which suits its easygoing character, and it performs best in warm weather when the fig and citrus notes bloom.
- Top: fig, mandarin, clementine

Best For
