Is this fragrance more masculine or feminine?+−
It is a true unisex fragrance. It avoids the heavy florals often found in feminine scents and the sharp metallic notes found in masculine colognes, relying instead on natural wood and fruit notes that suit anyone.
How does the patchouli affect the overall scent?+−
The patchouli here isn't the heavy or "hippie" variety. It is used subtly to provide an earthy foundation, grounding the airy green top notes and enhancing the woody "tree" aspect of the fig.
When is the best time to wear L'Arbre de la Connaissance?+−
It excels during the daytime in spring and summer. Because it feels fresh and botanical rather than heavy or spicy, it is ideal for business meetings, casual weekend outings, or daily wear.
Does this smell like a sweet dessert fig?+−
No, this is a green fruity fragrance. While there is a natural sweetness from the fig note, the dominant impression is one of green leaves, fresh sap, and dry sandalwood.
