Figuier D’Italie
“The Spellbinding Scent of Summer” – Candle
Description
One of perfumery’s most famous fruits, the enduring appeal of the Fig lies in its ability to offer a summer scent of immense depth and dimension that immerses those who smell it in Mother Nature’s Mediterranean riches. Figuier D’Italie transforms the home into a grove of green Fig trees, where the natural oils of its Leaves, Sap, Stem, and Fruit combine to create a woody, mossy and fruity fragrance. Beneath the beauty of the juicy purple fruits, the creaminess of Coconut, Vanilla, and Jasmine enhances its milky softness, whilst Tobacco Leaves and Cedarwood evoke the grandeur of the tree, shaded by its verdant leaves.

The Perfumer’s Insights
“The aromatic qualities of the fig tree bring the warmth of the Mediterranean coast to life. Sitting beneath the shade of leafy branches, a moment of repose is taken from the endless lazy days of high summer. Sitting on sun-baked earth, reclined against an ancient trunk, the woody scent of stems and leaves contrast against the jammy sweetness of sap and fruit. Plucking a ripe, purple fig that hangs nearby, fingers become sticky with the bright red juice.” – ROJA Dove.
