by Libertine Fragrance
Eros Fig by Libertine Fragrance presents a highly nuanced and modern interpretation of fig, leaning more toward green, earthy, and woody accords than the sweet, fruity gourmands typically associated with fig fragrances. It opens with a sharp, bitter green accord reminiscent of crushed fig leaves and wet earth, paired with a tangy citrus burst that quickly melds into a complex, resinous base. The sweetness from fig, honey, and coconut is present but subdued, gradually emerging in the dry down and balancing the initial bitterness. The fragrance is long-lasting, with a particularly persistent dry down that carries woody, spicy, and subtly medicinal qualities, resulting in a sophisticated, layered scent that suits those who appreciate green, naturalistic, and earthy accords. Its presence is moderate, intimate in sillage, making it well-suited for autumn and daytime wear, especially for those drawn to the raw, organic side of fig rather than the creamy or sweet.
