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.

How To Use: Apply fragrance to pulse points (inside wrist, behind the ears, base of the neck), creases of your knees and elbows for a longer lasting, stronger scent. After applying, avoid rubbing or dabbing skin. This breaks down the fragrance, causing it to wear off more quickly.

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

Colonia VIII!!! My favourite fig!!
Louise –
It smells and feels expensive, well thought out and tapping into the exotic of a time long gone, but not being old fashioned, anything but! This to me is what I think Cleopatra would smell like after she had bathed in Asses milk! And if its good enough for a goddess its good enough for me!

I have had a lot of lovely comments whenever I wear it.

I have received many compliments on this perfume! I love going into the boutique and look forward to my next trip.

I think I am truly obsessed with this scent, not to mention the beautiful bottle! It does state it is suitable for both day and evening and I would certainly agree with this. I would wear this anywhere. It is such a versatile scent. I, would happily wear this through all the seasons. Because the quality is so high, I don’t need to do my usual and spray constantly every hour of the day! Just a few sprays and it lasted all day.

Stunning fragrance and beautifully packaged gift for my wife. Helpful staff upgraded shipping to arrive in time for Christmas which was a very nice touch.

Ordered a sample and loved it. Ordered the small bottle and then had to buy the bigger bottle. Really beautiful balance but not overly sweet and lasts all day. The packaging is extremely beautiful too.
