Fig Leaf

Middle (heart) note Green Woody Fragrance oil

Green, milky and slightly coconutty-woody, like fig sap. It's leafy and cool rather than fruity-sweet.

Made from
A blended fragrance oil. A fig leaf absolute exists but is rare, so hobby oils are built from green, milky and woody aroma chemicals.
