Not the fruit as a sweet thing but the whole plant: green, sappy, a little bitter, with the particular dusty quality that fig leaves have in the sun. It is one of the most distinctive materials in perfumery and it is almost impossible to mistake for anything else. Grapefruit sits above it, sharp and bitter with a slightly sulphurous tang that stops the fig from reading as soft. Musk sits below, clean and close to the skin, giving the composition somewhere to rest. That is the entire structure, and there is no point pretending it is more elaborate than that. Three materials is not a shortcoming here, it is the reason the fig is so legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA short composition behaves in a short way. This does not evolve through stages; it arrives, settles within a quarter of an hour, and stays recognisable until it fades. As an eau de parfum it carries more oil than a cologne would, so it lasts longer than its lightness suggests, sitting close to the skin for most of a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt reads as unisex, it is best in warm weather and daylight, and it suits people who find most perfume too sweet. At 100ml there is enough of it to wear often, which is the right way to treat a scent this uncomplicated. It is the kind of fragrance people ask about without being able to name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house behind it is a Paris perfumery and soap maker founded in 1862, which took premises on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore in 1932 and expanded into body and bath products from the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger \u0026 Gallet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53294684340551,"sku":"BTS309298","price":51.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/bts309298.webp?v=1770474705","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/roger-and-gallet-fleur-de-figuier-eau-de-parfum-100ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
