I lived in Turkey for a few years and remember the scent of the fig groves driving along the Aegean coast in the summer. They would go for miles, it was incredible! You could literally smell the leaves, the fruit, the soil, the bark and even the sun played a factor in the ripeness. The arid air carried the scent very well too. When we conceptualized this, we wanted to make it more about the feeling the groves evoked rather than about any one thing. I was totally drawn in by the multi-sensory experience and wanted to make sure that the complexity was captured. The name itself, "Figure Noir" played on the contrast of the light arid sunny environment and the deep rich soil that bound the tree to the earth. Hope you all get to enjoy! - Tony Perez, Belle Fleur New YorkTony Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1323227325406259733.post-84085916615337482572012-02-13T11:00:35.586-05:002012-02-13T11:00:35.586-05:00Fig candles are growing on me too!
