fig-leaf

Green, milky, and slightly bitter: smells like snapping a fresh fig leaf in half and pressing it to your nose. Cooler and more vegetal than the fruit itself. Fig leaf gives a fragrance a sun-warmed Mediterranean garden vibe: think Diptyque Philosykos. Often paired with coconut, sandalwood, and ambrette to round out a full fig accord. Sits in the top and heart, then fades into a soft creamy base. A summer staple.

Also known as: fig leaf accord, green fig, fig tree leaves
