As soon as I smelled this I was bowled over! Fig scents to me are almost always aimed at women and where I'm not a huge lover of the note anyway I keep coming across fragrances which contain fig. I'm drawn to them without prior knowledge that they are going to be there, so now I just go with it. This one is the most outragously figgy scent you could imagine. It explodes out of the bottle with the most lush, ripe, gorgeous smell. I have the Acqua di Parma Blu Med Fico and that is very mellow and understated in comparison. Originality is the key to all the scents in the Diptyque line although the ingredients are similar to others used across the perfumery industry they are able to set themselves apart from the crowd with some wonderful smelling fragrances. Everything I've smelled so far (only about 6 of them) is stunningly good at a fairly reasonable price. The best fig scent I've smelled hands down and it drys down beautifully giving a little coconut...magic! Update: I still love this but my girlfriend really doesn't she said "If you get it... don't wear it when I'm around." Knowing I have juice to pick from but still that's not the point I thought this (although figgy) had a wider appeal and was pretty inoffensive to most tastes.
