Figuier James Heeley for women and men

Altough i like fig scents, this one is not for me. Heeley Figuier is in fact a very realistic fig fragrance, able to reproduce both the leafy and the fruity aspects of fig. But there is something on its opening that i dislike and reminds me of furniture polisher. I guess that it may be the rhuibarb. Figuier opens with a fresh, grassy note, then followed by this furniture polish note, which is quick but enough to bother me while it lasts. Then both fruity and leafy aspects of fig goes into the center of the aroma. There is something on the fruity side of Figuier that reminds me of the coconut soapy aroma of Marc Jacobs Men, but a little bit refined and less forced. The base is very close to skin, a faint woody green whisper. Figuier seems an elegant, minimalistic, non-ofensive fig, it`s not one that i would have.

This fig is very realistic, very vegetal and green. On me it is quite long-lasting too (but anything over 2 hours is good for me). I love the sharp green-ness and juiciness of Diptyque Philosykos but unfortunately the staying power is about half an hour. Of course it is half the price as well. If only there was a combination of both of these... Figuier is a deeper more grassy smell, and I can detect rhubarb too. I love how fresh it makes me feel, and if I had to choose between them I would go for this one. It is less sweet than Philosykos as well. They are both wonderful renditions of fig though.

Update on longevity: I put it on at 8 p.m. and could still smell it when I woke up this morning. On making my bed I could still smell it on my pillow and my nightie. Excellent value! and it stays the same smell, does not change over time.

I have worn this twice based on a sample from lucky scent. Very green. Similar to Premier Figuier but no coconut. Unfortunately it last no more than 3 hours on my skin. No buy for me.

Wow this so didn't work for me. It went on as coconut, fig and a cold dry note like dry concrete mix. This metallic dry concrete note overpowers the whole thing for a full fifteen minutes and lingers into the next stages as the scent develops more green fig and a synthetic watermelon note. That stage passes too and the whole thing ends up without the concrete, in a milky coconut fig that begins to get really perfume-y in a slightly soapy sharp way at the end. Changes alot, but not in a way I want to experience again.

It is indeet a beatuful fig. For me the most beautiful. I have got a long jurnay to discover my fig scent. I have tried the most of them. And this is it! It is not as sharp as Phylosikos, it is not as sweet as Làrtisan Premier figuier and it is the most lasting fig of all. I also like The fig from Parfumerie Generale, but the lasting power is realy poor. The Fig from Jo Malone is also beautiful, but again no lasting power whatsoever! The Miller Harris Fig is way too boring for me... And here she is: a nice realistic green fig, with a hint of melone (or is that rhuburb?) and a wonderful woody cedar base! Just perfect! I am very thankfull to the sale lady, witch presented this gem to me! AusLiebeZumDuft I love you and thanks God you are only 15 min away from me! :))

I m astonished to be the first person to review that beauty! Are you a fan of figue scents?? THEN it COULD BE THE ONE for you.. in that case I agree 100%with LT in The Guide,this is the clearest figue scent in a perfume that Ive ever smelled..in the opening notes. After some minutes I can smell some green tea notes and the grassy fresh mowed hay but no rhuburb..maybe that s a good thing then.The staying power was amazing on my skin, applied in the morning and at 5 o clock pm I still get some cedary figue.. I have only a sample of that summer scent but am now considering buying a full bottle...dream
