Fig fragrance

I LOVED Sicilian Fig by the Body Shop, it was so damn figgy! But they discontinued it. There's a million miles price wise between that and Dyptique Figuier ( and i'm poor Grin ) so i'm hoping someone can help me out by recommending a mid price range Fig fragrance, preferably EDP? Thanks in advance

I ordered the M&S coconut perfume on the back of a thread yesterday and noticed that they also had a fig one in the same range so you might try that. Much cheapness too.

Roger et Gallet have a nice fig perfume.

BringMeTea I bought the M&S Celestial Fig on Tuesday, and put it in the bag for Oxfam on the same day, it was terrible! Good looking out tho!

I love the Laura Mercier Eau Gourmande Fresh Fig fragrance. Expensive but lively and has a matching bath & body cream range too.

Oh. Grin. Hope the coconut fares better...

Fico d’amalfi by acqua di Parma. It’s not cheap but it is gorgeous

StepOutOfLine · 08/02/2021 13:33

L'Artisan Parfumeur have one, often to be found languishing in TK Maxx.

Crabwoman · 08/02/2021 13:46

You can find the body shop one on Ebay sometimes, sealed in the box. Like you, it's one of my favourites.

mrssmiling · 08/02/2021 13:48

Re the Roger et Gallet, I used a tester once, and thought it was one I would buy. However...looking at the range there is also a Fig Leaf perfume, as well as the Flower...so I’m not sure which one I tried!
If you look at all the comments/reviews on this site there is lots of chat about fig fragrances!

ive had roger et gelley fleur de figuier before and it smells lovely, but has very little staying power. I kept reapplying it all the time, so i definitely liked it!

i love all things figgy too. nothing beats the diptyque. i have the small candle and it is to die for.

if you like candles in a fig fragrance, the kew wild fig candle is lovely, various sizes, the one in a tin is about £12.

There are a couple of new bottles selling on Facebook market place if you search for 'fig bodyshop`

TinyHouseFan · 08/02/2021 18:32

Marc Jacobs has a nice fig one I used to use..

Howdidthathappen1 · 08/02/2021 18:41

Thierry mugler do Womanity which is wonderfully figgy!
Can be hard to find sometimes but its lovely!

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 08/02/2021 18:43

Diptyque Philosykos lovely fragrance

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 08/02/2021 18:44

Sorry, not mid price!

Dailyhandtowelwash · 08/02/2021 18:46

The Fleur de Figuier is lovely - I find the shower gel lasts longer than the spray though. I've got the soap too which is also gorgeous.

SeaRabbit · 08/02/2021 19:14

Nesti Dante fig & almond soap smells wonderful

MissBattleaxe · 09/02/2021 10:36

Womanity is long discontinued and has a caviar note that can be um...divisive.

Here's 3 more

Have you tried L'Artisan Parfumeur Premier Figuier?

Also Hermes Un Jardin en Mèditerranée has a lovely fig note.

Kierin NYC 10 a.m Flirt has a great fig note and they do a Discovery Set on The Perfume Society shop face

Innermagic · 09/02/2021 10:45

I've tried quite a few fig scents and nothing comes close to philosykos, to me it's worth the price as I bought 3 or 4 cheaper ones trying to find the perfect sent but could not

MissBattleaxe · 09/02/2021 11:35

Philosykos is amazing.

BeastOfBODMAS · 09/02/2021 11:47

I have and enjoy Library of Fragrance Fig Leaf. They’re not at all expensive. Think they’re branded Demeter in the US which can help with finding stock

StrawberryPi · 09/02/2021 11:49

Seconding (...thirding, fourthing..?) philosykos, it's really gorgeous!

TheTroutofNoCraic · 09/02/2021 11:52

Jo Malone Fig and Cassis is one of my favourites. I love anything fig scented
