Fig

About Fig

Fig is a fruity-green note with ripe pulp, green skin, milky sap, and a shaded woody undertone. It is more complex than a simple sweet fruit because it can suggest the whole tree around the fruit.

Scent Profile

The profile is sweet, green, milky, woody, and softly honeyed. It can suggest ripe flesh, crushed leaves, coconut-like creaminess, and warm shade, making the note feel sensual without becoming heavy.

Use in Perfumery

Fig works from the opening into the heart with citrus, coconut, sandalwood, cedar, musks, tea, sea salt, green notes, and soft amber. It can bring fruit, leaf, milk, and wood into one atmospheric accord.

Did You Know?

The best fig accords keep the green and milky sides in balance. Too much sweetness can flatten the note, while too much leaf can make it bitter and austere. Soft woods and musks help the fruit feel airy and long-lasting. Fig perfumes often rely on fruit, leaf, sap, and wood facets rather than fruit alone. That is why fig can feel creamy, green, fresh, woody, or gently gourmand depending on the surrounding materials.
