    This is the fig fragrance for people who think they don't like fig. It's not sweet and creamy, it's green, almost stemmy, with a cassis brightness that cuts clean.Purple Fig
    It's the fig that doesn't apologize for being fig. Some fragrances hedge, add vanillas, add musk, make fig a footnote. This one plants its flag in green, woody.Figue du Forêt
