Figue Sauvage Laurence Dumont for women

I just got this today! It takes some getting used to because, for me at least, this isn´t a common scent. Im sure these notes have been combined before, but they just don´t end up smelling like Figue Sauvage.

There is green, but not a very fresh green and I don´t get the citrus from the bergamot. I´m sure its there but the first waft of fragrance isn´t obviously citrus. After that theres a certain fruitiness which gets progressively darker and loses sweetness and sharpness. The fragrance gets sort of blurry and then I do smell vanilla but its not an I-want-to-eat-my-arm vanilla.

I like it but I don´t love it. Also, this was a blind buy, and I haven´t tried the other Senteurs but I am curious about them.

My most recent post is about essential oils and I have a haul page. Ive been trying out products by corean brand Missha.

I inadvertently saved the best for last of my samples from Les Senteurs Gourmandes: FIGUE SAUVAGE. Wow, this is an enticing, wonderful woody floral with a just a touch of fig and the faintest dusting of vanilla sugar. Yum!

These people really know how to showcase the violet (I liked VANILLA VIOLETTE very much, as well), and this composition is even nicer with the admixture of ylang, green notes, and sandalwood. I'll definitely be adding FIGUE SAUVAGE to my collection!

Overall, I am impressed with and can heartily recommend Les Senteurs Gourmandes. These edps are compelling, harmonic compositions with great staying power and sillage!
