Fig Infusion
Essential Parfum's Fig Infusion by Nathalie Lorson is an optimistic and reassuring fragrance inspired by the light of a sunny day in the south of France. The main top note, a larger-than-life fig, is illuminated by a duo of juicy mandarin and clementine. The floral heart of freesia and orange blossom is deepened with aromatic Sri Lankan black tea. Finally an enveloping wood accord with soft Virginian cedarwood and creamy sandalwood sweetened with benzoin reinforces the cocooning effect of the scent.
From Perfumer Nathalie Lorson
"I imagined a luminous fragrance full of joy and pleasure. The reminiscent smell of an afternoon dreaming in the orchard, comfortably installed under the fig trees."Â

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).

Beautiful and feminine to my nose!
For the price, this is soooo good! Its almost like a crisp fig infused tea.
I'm kind of a fig freak. If there's fig, I will try it. Philosykos from Diptyque is pretty, but a bit too green for me. Debaser from D.S. & Durga is so interesting, but maybe too coconuty. Father Figure from Phlur is lovely, but a teeny bit sweet for some.
This? I think it's perfect. My face actually lit up when I sprayed it on the back of my hand for the first time. It's blended so well. I smell like a cup of perfectly balanced fig tea. <3
I suppose the projection or longevity could be stronger, which is to say that this can be a subtle scent unless you spray a few times. But I personally prefer that because I like to wear different scents throughout the day.
If you're a fig freak, I definitely think this is worth a try, especially if you get the Essential Perfumes discovery set.
