Wild Fig & Cassis (for women and men)

pimentosugars

Sweet bubblegum? Wow, that just shows how unique every individual's skin chemistry is! I never tried a Jo Malone perfume before, and I'm so glad I did!

How can there be no fig in this? It smells just perfectly of fig trees in fruit, really ripe, but I have to confess, I get no sense of a mediterranean sun above, on my skin the scent is cool not warm, with a real sense of moisture and air, as though the branches were shaking in a high wind after rain. The bubble gum touch noticed by Chance25 completely missed me as did the pine, and the sweetness was nicely cut by the currant notes, with the cyclamen as an unexpected winner!

This is a beautiful fresh green woody smell, with a base that I can only describe as having a very slight almost biscuity edge to it. After four/five hours most of all this is gone, but a touch of herbs akin to green tea with a soft hint of powder remains. I could wear this anywhere, it reminds me that I am a free spirit!

My first thought of this scent before trying it was either it was going to be too masculine or too overwhelming as fig can sometimes be. None were true. This is mostly a soft floral w/ fig as a nice partner. There is pine in this and it is present to my nose. Not in a x-mas tree sort of way but a freshness that only pine can create. The dry down sort of smells like sweet bubble gum. Such a surprising little gem this is!
