What do reviewers say about Athenean and Figuier?
Most fig fragrances chase the fruit. Athenean goes for the wood, the dry, sun-warmed trunk rather than the sweet flesh. It is a quieter, more structural take on the note.Athenean
Fig fragrances walk a line between green and creamy, cool and warm. Figuier leans green from the first spray, which catches some off guard, but that's the whole point.Figuier
