New perfume, something with fig, vanilla, musk?

I’ve worn the same perfume for nearly 10 years, Petite Cherie by Annick Goutal. I’m in the mood for a change. Love notes of vanilla, fig, white musk. Nothing floral, something for everyday wear. Would love some recommendations.

The Body Shop fig has been discontinued, sadly. You might still find an odd bottle in a store, though.

Wholeheartedly agree that Philosykos is beautiful. Very figgy.

Thierry Mugler Womanity has also been discontinued but as a result there are cheap bottles kicking around TK Maxx. Smell it first as it's not a safe blind buy but it is figgy.

Black Opium By YSL, It has Vanilla and Musk, I love it.

Body Shop Red Musk. Musk, peppercorn, cinnamon and a whisp of vanilla. And currently dirt cheap in the online sale. I absolutely love it.

Not if you are on a budget. .. but if you are in London Nicolai have a shop on the Kings Road in Fulham and you can test out all their perfumes:

How about Premier Figuier by L'artisan Parfumeur? It's a much muskier fig than the Diptyque one. I've just gone through a whole bottle this summer. It often pops up in TKMaxx as well.

What a great thread this is, thanks to all. So much info here. I usually speed through perfume departments, overwhelmed at the choice & not wanting to make a duff purchase. But will spend some time now checking out these recommendations. Plus order a few online.

@mintmagnumm you're very welcome and hope you love it as much as I do!!

@OpheliaBalls Red Musk is lovely isn't it! Just picked up 30ml for a fiver in the Body Shop sale Smile

The Laura Mercier Fig perfume is also worth trying for anyone who loves fig and vanilla - it's sweet, but not cloying IMO. And longer lasting than Phylosokos and Lolita Lempicka, both of which I also love but which don't linger on me.

I'm now the owner of Lolita lempika and I love it! My mum now also wants a bottle Grin

Red vanilla from Zara is very similar to Coco Mademoiselle.
All the Tom Ford ones smell amazing.
