Fig Extasy

Fig Extasy by Mancera unfolds with a bright, green fig leaf opening that quickly evolves into a complex blend of woody, smoky, and leathery accords. The initial notes of black pepper, ginger, and incense give way to a refined, dry fig leaf note that is more aquatic and under-ripe than sweet or fruity, with subtle vanilla and tonka bean adding a soft, creamy depth. Leather and sandalwood weave through the composition, creating a smoky, woody undertone that feels both masculine and unisex. The dry down bears a striking resemblance to Tom Ford's Fabulous F***ing in its intensity, but with a more natural, less synthetic profile. It feels less intense than Mancera's usual offerings, with a sillage that is moderate and well-balanced, not overwhelming. Longevity is solid—lasting up to 8 hours—despite some users noting shorter performance. The fragrance is versatile and performs best in autumn and winter, though some wear it in spring. It’s not a bombastic, high-sillage scent, but rather a subtle, well-crafted experience that rewards patience with a rich, layered dry down. For fans of fig scents, this is not a juicy, sweet fig perfume, but rather one that captures the tree’s natural green and earthy essence, making it ideal for those who appreciate nuanced, cool-toned fig notes over overtly gourmand or fruity interpretations.
