Fig
Fig is a sweet and fruity fragrance note with a fresh, green scent profile that carries subtle woody and milky undertones. Its aroma is smooth, ripe, and indulgent, adding a rich and slightly exotic quality to perfumes. Fig imparts a soft, creamy character and is often used as a middle or base note to create a comforting and luxurious composition. It pairs beautifully with floral, woody, and fruity notes, contributing to fragrances that are warm, inviting, and full of depth.
History & Production: The fig tree (Ficus carica) has been cultivated for thousands of years in the Mediterranean and the Middle East for its sweet, nutritious fruit. In perfumery, the scent of fig is typically recreated using synthetic accords or a blend of green, fruity, and milky notes to capture its rich, fresh essence. Fig notes are highly valued for their ability to add a creamy, sweet depth that enhances the complexity and warmth of fragrances, evoking a sense of comfort, richness, and natural beauty.
