Fig Leaves

Fig leaves are a fresh, green, and slightly sweet fragrance note with subtle milky and woody undertones. Their scent profile is natural, lush, and invigorating, adding a Mediterranean and sunlit quality to perfumes. Fig leaves impart a unique and complex character and are often used as a top or middle note to create an airy and refreshing composition. They pair beautifully with citrus, floral, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are modern, elegant, and full of vitality.

History & Production: Fig trees (Ficus carica) are native to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years for their fruit and leaves. In perfumery, the scent of fig leaves is often recreated using synthetic accords or a blend of green, milky, and woody notes to capture their characteristic aroma. The fragrance evokes the essence of warm, sun-dappled fig groves and adds a refreshing, natural touch to perfumes. Fig leaf notes are prized in modern perfumery for their ability to add a distinctive, green complexity that enhances the depth and brightness of a fragrance.
