Tantalizing and sexy, the twisting branches of the fig tree will exposeyour senses to the heady, earthy scent of fig wood and the sweet fleshyaroma of the exotic fruit it bears. With the subtle inclusion of vetiverand juniper berry, this ode to the fig groves found on the TurkishAegean coast unites tree, fruit, earth, sky and sun together to elevatethe fragrance to an inspired and provocative complexity.
I'm really growing to love fig candles, particularly Figue Noir by Belle Fleur with it's complex balance of fragrances. The lineup is diverse - a little spicy cardamom, fruity rhubarb and strawberry, a touch of florals from cyclamen and geranium, earthy notes from juniper berries, oakmoss and vetyver, and (of course) fig.
The combination is brilliant and the most surprising thing is that even with wide variety of notes, they all have a voice. It's clearly a fig fragrance, yet I can hear the juniper berries talking to me and luring me in with their piquant notes. The florals mumble in the background and there is a whisper from the strawberries and rhubarb - like the sound of kids laughing in the yard outside. Oakmoss and vetyver sit on one shoulder lulling me to sleep while cardamom and bergamot sit on the other keeping me awake and interested. I like what you are saying, Belle Fleur Figue Noir. Don't stop.
This fragrance is definitely tantalizing and sexy and a must try scent for any fig lover. What does it say to you?
Fragrance intensity 3.5/5. Burn quality 4/5.
