Does this fragrance have a strong "green" or woody fig leaf note?+−
No, Fig-Tea avoids the sappy, bitter green notes often found in fig fragrances. It focuses more on the fruity, floral facets of osmanthus and davana, supported by a soft gaiac wood base, resulting in a smooth and sweet experience rather than an earthy one.
How long does the scent typically last on the skin?+−
Being an Eau de Toilette, it is designed for lightness. Most users find it lasts around 4 hours, transitioning into a gentle skin scent after the first hour. It is often used as a refreshing splash that may require reapplication throughout the day.
Is this suitable for a professional office environment?+−
Yes, it is highly suitable for business and daily wear. Its moderate sillage and clean, fruity-floral profile make it inoffensive and sophisticated, providing a "polite" scent bubble that won't overwhelm colleagues.
How does the presence of maté affect the smell?+−
The maté absolute adds a slightly herbal, dry, and tea-like texture to the base. This balances the sweetness of the orange and osmanthus, giving the fragrance its "tea" character without relying on a traditional black or green tea note.
