This scent is super weird to my nose. It’s sweet, at the same time green and bitter, at the same time woody with the hint of citrus. But i would sell it, as after some time it’s overwhelming for me. Weird sweet bitterness. Dry down is beautiful, but very masculine. Would be super sexy on man.
Can't wait to wear this in warmer weather. Straight out the bottle it's sweet and green, settling down to an almost fruity musk that I've started to associate with a few of the Vilhelm scents now. My initial reaction to this was 'meh'. Sprayed on paper, it was a smell I could appreciate but wasn't very exciting. However, on my skin, the green fades quite a lot and I'm left with a beautiful fig scent - like you're smelling the inside of a dried fig - but you have to smell quite close to the skin to really smell that. For everyone else, within the sillage cloud, it's quite a sweet but slightly musky smell. This perfume makes me wish I was sitting on an outside veranda on a cliff on the Amalfi coast in springtime, drinking Aperols and watching the sea. I would love to have a bottle of this.
Very specific to the SF Bay Area, but this smells exactly like the shampoo and conditioner in the Bay Club.
This has a similar note or accord profile to Wild Fig and Cassis by Jo Malone (discontinued, but you can get a clone on Eden Perfumes). Woody cedar musk and pine surrounding fig, but the fig in this is drier than in JM. If you like more luscious jammy figs, go with the latter. Also this has more sharpness from galbanum and angelica.
Angelica in combination with black currants gives the smell of pickles. I don't like it.
