Fig

Middle (heart) note Fruity Green Fragrance oil

Milky, green and softly sweet, like ripe fig flesh with a woody, slightly coconut-like undertone. Some blends are sugary; others are drier and leafy.

Made from: A blended fragrance oil; no fig essential oil exists, though some perfumers use fig leaf absolute, and most fig scents combine milky, green and woody notes.

A little lore

A fig is really an inverted cluster of tiny flowers enclosed in a fleshy stem, which is why its inside looks so intricate.
