Wow! This is a fascinating brew from Pat! Not really Fig nor is it tea but the feeling and spirit of tea definitely comes through, same with fig I mean it's an unconventional fig, it's no stemone bomb but I think the fig accord is carefully entwined with the peachy osmanthus note which I think dominates this perfume. It's fresh, fruity, exotic and floral. The opening is like a big, cheerful peach/orange hybrid, after the initial juice phase it becomes drier and chalkier. Yet again Nicolai puts that sour mossy quality to juxtapose all the pleasant, well behaved and sweet stuff, it's almost like bittersweet caramel, bisabolene or something when it's settled down. Also the tea effect gives a sparkly metallic quality. It dries down to a completely different vibe, a bit less playful, more grown up. It's good. If you like fruity, florals check it out.
Not too keen on the opening, which smells divine, but like a divine orange oil, not like a perfume. But then it dries down to a sumptuous orangery, jasminey, creamy amber. Lovely! 0 fig, 0 tea BTW.
