Figues & Agrumes by Maison Lancôme
Aromatic Fruity
Alex Lee
I love the taste of fresh figs, just picked up from a tree. I cannot imagine a better time than relaxing under a fig tree in Croatia in August. Me sipping coffee; my older son jumping on a trampoline. A family portrait. You want to stop time and remember the moment forever.
It is apparent I have a thing for fresh vacay perfumes during freezing Christmas time 🙂
Oh well, you may think I am too young to be nostalgic, but “scent is life”, and life is full of memories. That is why I associate figs with The Adriatic Sea. Figs are, actually, quite common in fragrances worldwide, and their popularity is even growing.
Fig has a sweet creamy smell. It is often combined with woodsy ore tea notes. Then it results in an aromatic masculine scent. Figures & Agrumes leans feminine with citruses, sorbet ice cream and jasmine.
What a superb composition. It is the most elegant fig I have smelt so far. It is fresh yet waxy, a little bit sweet, a bit tart, bit bitter. It is a simple freshie you can dress up and make a special occasion scent. It is a scent for a woman, not necessarily a girl.
Basically, it has everything I could ever want in a fig perfume. It is undoubtedly a fruity scent but you do not feel like a weird fruit concoction. Class, sophistication and lightness are omnipresent written in the aroma DNA. Well done Maison Lancôme.
