The fragrance is famously polarizing regarding its name; many enthusiasts argue it smells primarily of osmanthus and apricot rather than a realistic green fig or a brew of black tea.
Performance is widely described as light and ethereal, consistent with an Eau de Toilette concentration, making it a frequent choice for those who prefer subtle sillage over heavy projection.
While categorized for women, the fragrance has a significant unisex following due to its dry, herbal maté notes and lack of sugary gourmand elements.

Comparisons are often drawn to other fresh tea scents, though the community notes that Fig-Tea lacks the sharp, leafy greenness found in many "fig leaf" perfumes, opting instead for a smoother, floral-fruity profile.
