For the house’s first interpretation of the fig, the fragrance becomes vegetal and woody, heralding the delicacy of the royal fig.
Thanks to the Figuerie’s exceptional architecture, the figs — produced year-round — exuded a distinctive, unprecedented scent. In spring, aromas of fresh leaves, tree resin, damp earth and perfumed humidity would escape from within. At morning dew on the first warm days, opening the greenhouse creates a magical olfactory moment: humid, vegetal air, where fresh green and sunlit facets mingle with earthy, moist notes.
The contrasted fragrance opens on a fresh note of white fig in its purest form: vibrant, green and woody — before revealing its shadowy side. Patchouli, a humus accord and earthy tones evoke fig trees sheltered for winter. A moss effect and a touch of sandalwood recall wooden crates. In contrast, Ambroxan CX — the jewel of ambroxan — adds vibration: luminous and mineral, like sun-warmed stone façades. Finally, a note of artemisia enhances the spring character in its most organic truth.
