L’Arbre de la Connaissance

L’Arbre de la Connaissance by Jovoy Paris unfolds as a deeply green, woody, and fig-centric fragrance with a complex, layered profile. The opening features a vibrant, slightly acidic citrus and green accord, evoking fresh fig leaves and damp grass. This energetic start quickly evolves into a richer, more textured core where the fig note—unsweet and earthy—matures alongside sandalwood, patchouli, and a pungent, camphorated woodiness. The drydown brings out a dusty, powdery, and slightly mineralic depth, with sandalwood providing a creamy, ethereal base that adds longevity and softness. While it may start harshly on some skin types and carry a synthetic, medicinal tone for others, its performance is exceptional, lasting well into the day with moderate to strong sillage. It is particularly suited to spring and summer, and wears with a refined, meditative elegance that suits the attentive and open-minded wearer.
