Description
Editor’s Notes: Quiet luxury in a bottle, this velvety fragrance goes from a crisp, botanical opening to a creamy and meditative finish.
What It Is: A harmonious blend of nature’s freshest facets and artisanal warmth. This fragrance opens with an initial burst of vibrant green notes evoking the scent of crushed leaves and dew-kissed figs. As it settles, a velvety heart of coconut emerges, offering a creamy, tropical warmth that feels both comforting and exotic. The journey concludes on a sophisticated base of sandalwood, leaving a lingering trail of smooth, buttery wood that grounds the scent in timeless elegance.
A little history… Highly prized in antiquity, it is said that the fig was one of the first cultivated plants and was the symbol of abundance. The Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all considered figs to be sacred.

Fragrance Tips
* Apply liberally to pulse points, just like Cleopatra did – such as inside wrist, inside elbow, behind the ears, base of the neck and behind the knee
* Avoid rubbing the wrists together after application as this will cause the molecules to breakdown and the fragrance to fade
* Keep skin moisturised as it allows fragrance to last longer
* Spray directly on to your hair, or on your hairbrush, before brushing
* Spray onto your clothes and especially a scarf
