Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector Atlantic Fig Extrait

Description

Atlantic Fig is one of the house's 2024 limited releases (alongside Indian Vetiver and Pacific Grapefruit) and takes fig in an unusual direction: most fig fragrances go creamy and milky, built around fig leaf and coconut, but this one mixes fig with marine freshness and wood instead. The house's own tagline — "sail over the horizon and let the Atlantic waves carry you where light cannot" — sets the tone: coriander, bergamot, and cardamom open it, fig sits in a heart of lavender, narcissus, geranium, and rose, and it dries down into a genuinely substantial woody base of sandalwood, agarwood, cypriol, patchouli, vetiver, cedarwood, moss, and amber. The result reads closer to salty green fig trees on a coastline than dessert-style fig.

Scent Character

• Woody — 37%
• Floral — 27%
• Sweet — 17%
• Fresh — 7%
• Oud — 7%
• Spicy — 7%

Real agarwood is named in the base alongside cypriol and sandalwood, so the small Oud share is genuine.

Translation: A woody-floral fig — green and marine rather than creamy or gourmand, with a substantial cedar-agarwood-moss base doing most of the work.

FAQ

Does Atlantic Fig smell like a typical creamy fig perfume?
No — most fig fragrances go creamy and coconut-milky. This one pairs fig with marine freshness and a substantial woody-mossy base instead, for a greener, saltier read.

Is there real agarwood in it?
Yes, in the base alongside cypriol and sandalwood, though wood and floral notes carry most of the composition.

How long does it last?
Long — roughly 7-9 hours, with moderate-to-strong projection early on before settling closer to the skin.

Is it unisex?
Yes — the fig-lavender-cedar structure is designed to wear on any skin.
