Fig

29 perfumes

Derived from the Ficus carica tree, fig notes are crafted using lactones like stemone to mimic the fruit’s milky, green essence. It offers a dual profile: the crisp, sap-like bitterness of crushed leaves balanced by the jammy, honeyed sweetness of sun-ripened pulp. Typically a heart note, it adds a lush, Mediterranean texture to compositions. In the Gulf, fig is increasingly paired with warm oud or saffron, bridging the gap between refreshing orchard greenery and the region’s deep, resinous olfactory heritage.
