Very strong, I usually only spray a little bit, needs to settle before I go somewhere. I like it a lot, and it's what got me interested in fragrances. Feels intimate, not for parties. Really sexy. My fave. Stays strong and dry, musky fullness, old well mainained leather in a smoking room. I wonder what it's be like with a caramely-whisky note… ||||| |

- | | Smells of sandalwood (apparently rosewood) and strong, thick, powdery floral notes like lavender. I don't like it much, too much like incense in a hippy shop or drawer liners, but with a sparkly little sweetness underneath. But it was okay wearing this outside going to the shops when I didn't have to smell it much/often.

- | | Smelt lot of things at Mecca today, this was what I went in to specifically try. Put some on my wrists and walked round for a bit. It's a very true-to-life fig tree smell and nothing else. Mostly I smelt leaves, but at times a creaminess and vanillayness that's not really for me. I love the smell of fig leaves, but on their own it's a bit boring in a perfume. If it wasn't so expensive it'd be a nice hanging out at home smell. There' | + | | Smelt lot of things at Mecca today, this was what I went in to specifically try.

+ | | Initially a sharp floral scent, fresh water, smells like a vase of freshly cut flowers as it dries, or a bath full of flowers and bubbles. A little citrus, maybe crisp, sugary fruit. Can imagine wearing for casual drinks, though maybe it's a bit too florist shop for me to wear often. Oh, now it's getting a little ambery. Want to try it layered with something orange. Getting soapy now, almost dishwashing liquid, sticks in the top-front of my mouth the same way D: Damn, I was enjoying that. ||||| | ||

+ | | Musky, a little powdery, very green and bitter like dandelion and freshly cut flower stems, gets more figleafy as it dries :) Later it's just vanilla, maybe a little caramel. The dandelion and fig was nice in a musk, just a little disappointed with plain vanilla, but it was pleasant. | ||

+ | | Starts with a strong lemon smell, but a very cleaning producty one. Gets powdery, a little bitter like citrus skin or candied peel, a bit perfumey, a bit fizzy. Gets more perfumey and old ladyy, I think this is neroli, it's warm, but still background of cleaning products.\\ The sample came in a vial with no diffuser, which sucks a bit. ||||| | ||

+ | | Blind bought this because it was figgy and on a big discount. Initially not super keen, pretty sweet, fig fruit, spicey, but it's a bigger smell than other figs I've tried, which I like. Later it has interesting woody smells, almost smokey floralness, warm, fig leaves. Gets smokier actually, bitter tobacco. About as much sandalwood incense as I can take, ie just a hint. Not Summery, more Autumn. Hmm maybe a real hot Summer evening outside would be good actually. fight fire with fire. It's not casual. Fig's still here.\\ Always a fan of a magnetic lid, even if it's covered in tacky gold paint. ||||| | ||
