Premier Figuier L Artisan Parfumeur for women

This one reminds Omnia Bvulgari.To me this is gently, sweet and very the pleasant scent. A little African. :)

Here's is my second review, because I did end up finding a reasonably priced bottle of the EDT.

The EDT concentration is a clearer interpretation of fig than the EDP. Here is a creamy coconut/fig note, with strong woods underneath, and a green that is SO green it reminds me of a fresh canteloupe rind snapped in half.

The lasting power is very good, however projection is nil if you're looking for that sort of thing. Also, I find this to be very, very linear, the scent doesn't change too much, it simply eventually fades out.

I am happy that I found my bottle, but because of it's linear-ness, I don't wear it as much as much as I thought I would. Very good none the less, especially for those of us who love wood-green fragrances. I still will not pay L'Artisan prices for any of their stuff--unless I win the lottery.

This is gorgeous. The fig is done just right - slightly green, slightly nutty, not overripe. Just beautiful.

However, on me it has no staying power whatsoever which is not good given that it's very expensive! My advice to fig-lovers is try Diptyque's Philosykos instead - it's also quite expensive but very similar and with much more staying power.

At first the almond milk is really present, leaving its place to a crisp leafy green reminding of a sunny summer day in the park. The fig is present yet discreet all wear long. Definitely my favorite from L’Artisan, which tends to have very distinctive scents, but this one is distinction up another level. Ideal for office/day wear, especially with the upcoming summer.

This fragrance provides a full-on fig experience, fruits and leaves! It 'greens' over time, eventually morphing into an herby fragrant basil. It reminds me of a lady watering herbs at her kitchen window. Good silage, longevity 3/5.

I'm so glad I got a sample of this! I could see owning a bottle.

On me? Starts off as a damp grassy green, as if I'm walking through a recently rained-on forest. Mellows to a woody fig. Not sensing any fruit notes on my skin. Just forest green and fig -- which I am enjoying the heck out of.

My only negative: wish it were a wee bit stronger, and lasted longer.

There is a "nutty" drydown note in this that just doesn't agree with me. I thought after purchasing a fig fragranced candle that I would enjoy smelling like one. Bad idea. I wanted to enjoy this fragrance, but after an hour all I ended up with was a headache. Epic Fail for me on this one.

This is a very nice scent. Starts out green and slightly soapy for about the first 30 minutes before drying down to a nice creamy coconut smell. Good sillage. I'm not sure about the longevity; I still smelled it on my skin 6 hours after I took a shower, so I think it's pretty good especially in the spring and summer. 8.25/10

I will never again sample perfumes that are just financially way out of my leage.

I have a small sample of the EDP of this and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Woody creamy nutty figgy deliciousness. It is almost gourmand for me. One of the best perfumes I have ever smelled, really.

But for $115 for a 1.7 oz bottle there is just no way. Especially since I have to use a fair amount to get 4-5 hours worth of scent. The EDT is a little cheaper but still way too expensive for something that will last a lot less.

If you can afford this line, and this is an indication of what they offer, then I will just say that I am really jealous of you! But for me I will stay clear, as to not fall in love again.

Now that fig is all the rage, I suppose that every fig frag needs to reference the original, L'Artisan Parfumeur PREMIER FIGUIER, named evidently to commemorate the fact that it came first! How does it measure up, in retrospect?

To my nose, PREMIER FIGUIER is neither a floral fruity nor a gourmand but an oriental woody fragrance, for the fig combines with the almond to impart a mild spiciness to the whole woody-green mix. The woody note smells vaguely like that in BOIS FARINE: smooth, powdery, and dry.

I agree with Celina that the fig is here in its entirety, as though the entire fig tree was chopped up and soaked before distilling it down to its essence, presented here. The coconut adds a creaminess to this scent which really is not very sweet at all, thanks in part no doubt to the asafoetida, which happily is used only sparingly in this composition.

I like PREMIER FIGUIER more than some recent fig-focused fragrances that I've tried, but probably not enough to warrant adding it to my collection.

My favourite fig-based scent. Subtle, fresh, creamy, romantic, summery - the fig note is introduced elegantly, surrounded by green herbs and sweet white flowers. I prefer this to Phylosikos (sp?), which is a harsher, more resinous version of fig. Phylosikos was great as a room spray, but too dominant on my skin.

this could change, it probably will, but upon getting it 4 days ago it is winning like secretariat in my favorite perfume ever contest. i don't think ANY perfume has held that spot for 4 days.

it is just perfect.

i can't wait to try the edp, but i know they diddled w/the recipe for that one, and i really wish they hadn't.

i'll let you know.

Premier Figuier is fresh, somehow "herby" and lightly earthy and very green with a pinch of fruitiness.I would call it "green-woody-fruity" instead of "floral-fruity". Because I personally CAN see how this "captures the essence of the entire fig tree". With the green leaves, tree bark, fruits and perhaps even the roots (earthy). To me this scent brings very summery feelings and surprisingly there is also something almost "sea-breezy" in there. Quite often I find it difficult to detect lime in non-citrusy fragrances, but here I get the lime-coconut combo very strongly and I love it! (Some sources such as Luckyscent do not mention lime, but I am definitely getting it here). There is a touch of mellow sweetness in there as well that seems to tame to fresh/sharp green notes - and that might be the sandalwood.
Great for everyday wear...for the office or meetings, walk on the beach, lunch or afternoon drink...well...great for about anywhere! :-)
Unfortunately as with many of those light fragrances, the longevity is not good.

This scent should capture "the essence of the entire fig tree" .

Well, the first time I tried this scent I thought I was knocked out by a fig tree. The sharp green and woody notes are contrasted by the sweetness of coconut. Sorry, but this construction is unbalanced. The coconut proportion is not right.

After 20 min, finally, the green fig leaves note calms down, the sandalwood and a hint of almond come through.
Really, there is nothing else to say.

The only quality: it lasts longer than other L' Artisan scents.
Let me add something nice: I like the dry down, more subtle, soft, personal and ...friendly.

However, I like the Premier Figuier Extreme more. It is better balanced than the original. It is still green but warmer and more nuanced.

Final note: I would not consider them part of the best of L'Artisan, neither memorable for the fig inspired fragrances. There are much better choices out there.

Sorry, 5/10

Smells exactly like fresh plums. Innocent and cute, but very modern at the same time. And so optimistic!:)

This is a beautiful veil scent. I can wear this like a second skin, a barely there aura of something pleasant, and there is the fig. Quite a pure scent, not for making a statement, but it definitely makes a subtle impression.I think fig must suit my skin as I get many compliments on this and Phylosykos, but for me they are quite different versions of the same note. L'artisan is softer and hazier, and doesnt have the same kick as Phylosykos. I love this if I want to smell nice, but to leave people wonderin if or what I was wearing, perhaps in an interview or formal meeting, and at work when I dont want to overpower and still feel good.

I smell it on my friend very very light, i mean i love the fig scent i used to wear in summer days it reminds me my grandma garden in the summer time. This parfume is too light.I prefer Fico di Amalfi by Acqua di Parma or Marc Jacobs Fig. They are not expencive and last more than this one

As eesija notes this is very light and ethereal. There's nothing wrong with that watercolor of fig fruit, but Philosykos i much more better on my skin that this is not needed.The fig leaf on the start is quite accurate but the fig fruit struggles with a deep resinous woody odor. The whole thing ends with a sweet gourmand thing but you reall have to stick your nose to your wrist to catch it.

This is so light it's almost non existant on my skin. Wow who would pay that price for nothing. Bottled air, unless I got a real bad sample vial. and it stinks on my skin, smells like old dirty dusty lamp shade. Very disappointed..
