An interesting scent that smells to my nose like a mix of Philosykos and Bal D’Afrique. Fruity, green, figgy, leafy but slightly synthetic in tone. I would personally take Philosykos over this, and probably this over Bal D’Afrique.
For the first hour on my skin, all I can smell is patchouli and sandalwood, with a sickly, sharp sweetness. The fig doesn't emerge until well after the scent has given me a headache, which is a shame because the fig note itself is really quite lovely. I keep coming back to this, to see if I can force myself to like it. But unfortunately, my chemistry and this scent do not mix, and it's headache city. And what a shame! If it was entirely that fig, I'd wear it every day.
I love the sweet fruit part here. I get Apricots and Peaches more than Figs. I also think of sweet white florals: Gardenia and Osmanthus. But I absolutely hate the Green part that smells more like Mugwort and Plastic to me and perpetuates till the drydown where it all transform into a smell of a body butter (similar to the Mango Body Butter by the Body Shop, minus Mango.

In late 90th early 00th Avon had a skin care line which smelled exactly like this, just toned down. Not a safe blind buy!
so i ordered a shedload of jovoy samples and i got this one thrown in. not a fan of fig scents, truth be told, but this one is one of the least palatable fig scents i've come across. highly metallic, astringent aromachemical smell (one of the aldehydes, c-something, i think) and very little anything else. not a fave -- to be honest, a total scrubber, nope.
