Fig fragrance recommendations?

[bakewelltarte]

Hello, everyday I pass a big bank of fig tress when I'm out walking with my baby and I am just obsessed with the scent so I am looking for a fig fragrance - something akin to the smell of the fig dyptique candle but as an edt or edp. Does anyone have any suggestions? X

Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi is also worth checking out - love that fragrance!

Had a bargain in tkmaxx today. The di palomo grape and fig range linked to above in John Lewis was in store. I bought a reed diffuser, candle and room spray set for £13 reduced from £22 and a three pack of soaps for £5 reduced from £9. Delighted. The fragrance is so nice and certainly strong enough to fill a room without being overpowering. They had loads of the room scents sets near the checkouts, so they may be in other branches too.

Arran aromatics do a lovely fig scent. Someone I know wears it a lot and I always comment on it.

L Artisan Parfumeur Fig Extreme is on sale on the tk Maxx website if anyone likes this one .My favourite is Philosykos and I also enjoy the Fig note in my bottle of Vertine.Womanity by Thierry Mugler is the most devisive fig ever! Does anyone on this thread enjoy it?

[polyhymnia]

Another vote for Philosykos here. I also like the fig notes in Annick Goutal's Eau de Sud, which is perhaps my favourite perfume ever.

The Palmolive shower gel (Spain&Fig) was ace for a really sweet, jammy take on fig. Korres Fig is a great green fig shower gel. Dove Blue Fig&Orange on the other hand smells dreadful, like a loo cleaner.

[WellTidy]

I love all things with a figgy scent. I'm sure Palmolive or another budget brand used to do a shower gel that was fig scented, but I've not seen it for ages. As an aside, Yankee candles does a wild fig candle which I also like.

Body Shop have reduced their Italian Summer Fig range. For instance, the body butter, which is really good for layering with the EDT, or with other fig perfumes, was reduced from £14 down to £7. I stocked up with more EDT, shower gel and body lotion, and got another 40% reduction off the total bill. I think they must be discontinuing the range.

Philosykos. It's my absolute favourite scent and makes me so happy.

[bakewelltarte]

Thanks everyone, lots of trying out in order! I have ordered a few samples on eBay so looking forward to testing Philosykos out and also Di Palomo. I've ordered some of the Body Shop one too - I am truly obsessed! xx

Glad to see I'm not the only one with a fig fragrance fetish.

+1 for philosykos

Marc Jacobs previously had a fig edt that I loved but it was discontinued

[bakewelltarte]

Thanks all I have ordered the body shop and will seek out the others to have a try xx

Neste Dante do a fig and almond milk soap which is lovely. It is a huge bar and lasts ages and leaves a lovely, gently scent on your skin. Not a perfume but might be nice for layering.

[CointreauVersial]

Ninfeo Mio is my favourite (Annick Goutal) - in fact I'm wearing it today. It's so warm and sunny.

[calilark]

Agree with the Diptyque and Body Shop recs - I also love Roger & Gallet Fleur de figuier, which is sold in M&S and often known offer. The edp is much better than the toilette. But all 3 are lovely

[gillyweed]

I came to say body shop too! I got it as a present recently, it's very easy to wear, smells a little mysterious/earthy and of summer1

[Kennington]

I love the korres scent and use the body lotion plus the other stories shower gel. Other stories is great.
I wear philosykos, but the parfum last ok-well, but the toilette doesn't last 5 minutes so am a bit fed up with the brand because of it

[Kione]

L'Artisan Parfumeur Figuier or Figuier L'Extreme, its usually expensive but they have it in TKMaxx reduced as they are updating the bottles.

Another vote for Body Shop summer fig here.

[kittyhello]

I second The Body Shop one too for a budget option. It smells like summer.

[blodynmawr]

Another vote for dipalomo linked by dontgo.
Independent dept stores round here stock it as well as JL.

[ImYourWomanJonSnow]

Korres fig shower gel and body lotion feed my fig obsession on the cheap. The shower gel is currently £4 at Waitrose

[lasttimeround]

& other stories do a fig body most that's good. Cheap

[dontgobaconmyheart]

I can definitely empathise with this obsession OP - fig trees smell beautiful.
Thanks so much other posters for the philosykos suggestion- definitely off to check this out asap, have been looking for another fig based perfume for years.
If you're on a budget, The Body Shop do an Italian summer fig EDT www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/fragrance/eau-de-toilette/italian-summer-fig-eau-de-toilette/p/p000478
and have also had this before and thought it was lovely:

I would say the body shop fig scent is much greener and fresher than the Di palomo ( which is sweeter)

[bakewelltarte]

Thanks for the recommendations - I'm on maternity leave so my budget is tiny but it's my birthday next week
