Fig Extasy Mancera for women and men

Genderless, attractive woody fig with leather.
Quite a sillage, for people who like the scent to precede them.
Both sexes will love it if leather, wood, fig tree, leaves and fruit and herbal nuances are what you like.
Up close it feels sweet, but sillage is leathery-woody.

Kinda average for a Mancera. Opening is very figgy and delicious. This quickly dries down into pure one-note sandalwood and incense. Lingers on the skin in an unpleasant way. It's a miss for me.

Absolutely adore. Not a "gourmand" by any stretch but such a freaking YUMMY combination of velvety ripe fig, but not overly sweet thanks to the green and citrusy notes. Inviting and enveloping. Bit of a leathery drydown. My only complaint is it doesn't last very long, especially for Mancera.

With a name like fig extasy come on bro. This smells barely like fig and is more leathery and woody and even almond like just like fucking fabulous. About 95% similar, I was hoping for a more fruity and sweeter scent. Still smells amazing but I wanted something different. Don't buy if you have fabulo intense or fucking fabulous.

Smells like F*cking Fabulous

This is a very friendly scent. If I could describe it in 3 words, I would say its tart, green, and earthy. Surprised people arent calling this a higher quality version of Cerruti Image. You can even see that many of the notes are shared between the two. If you want a summer scent that isnt aquatic, and like green and earthy notes, this would be a hit for you. I happen to be a fan of green scents, but I am aware that most of them arent that mass appealing, so this one accomplishes both the green vibe I like but with a friendly fig note.

I bought a decant and I loved it. Bought a full size bottle and love it even more. B&BW used to have a scent called brown sugar and fig, which is what this reminds me of. On me it smells fig-forward with woody, amber, and vanilla notes, mildly sweet. I'm not getting any green notes from it.

I loved this scent at first, the most fresh, dry, clean, almost papery and non-sweet fig scent. Performs really well and could be suitable for almost any setting. However I realized after wearing my sample a few times that it smells a little like Johnson & Johnson baby oil so.... It lost a little charm once I noticed that.

Ordered a bunch of small samples and documenting my initial impressions: Heavy initial fig scent mixed with cologne. Interested to wear.

I bought this fragrance with high expectations and was completely let down, this smells like complete shit, wouldn't recommend this to anyone, the only slightly ok thing about this is the longevity, which paired with a completely shit smell isn't good at all 1/10

Love the opening fig note, but it is rather ephemeral. This was a powdery forward note for me that didn't change too much throughout except to lose the fig. Kudos on the originality but without lasting power or stillage this isn't one I'll pick up.

Scent 7/10
Projection (scents are quiet on me) - 3/10
Longevity - Barely made it 3 hours, at 6 I can't smell it on my wrist.
Overall 4/10

I initially purchased the Mancera best sellers discovery set. When smelling those fragrances none of them stood out to me except this one. I instantly purchased a full bottle to add to my collection. The uniqueness of the fig scent mixed with lavender and wood leads to an instant confidence boost. When I wear this scent I imagine myself cruising on a yacht drinking a glass of champagne. I would say this scent is the epitome of luxury as far as spring and summer scents go. I would highly recommend this fragrance while it still flies under the radar.

This is not as bad as some of the comments make it seem. I think it’s a nice spring time scent. I smell fig, but it is not sweet. It’s more fresh. However, I don’t think the fig lasts long, maybe 2 hours, and then it turns into incense and leather.

Longevity Good
Sillage Good

It's ok, it mostly just smells of leather... Kind of disappointed

As someone on the hunt for some ‘not so big’ fragrances in popular niche houses - I can happily say this fragrance is class. I blind bought this for a very good price and loved the idea that there’s only a handful of reviews online about it.

The fragrance itself - Absolutely love the top notes here. At first smell it’s evident of the milky fig, straight into a beautiful dry down almost like a sunscreeny smell to my nose at least. Leaves the skin with a nice clean, dry and mellow leather scent.

With the humidity where I live at the moment, longevity wise I’m getting 6-8 hours on my skin with a moderate sillage (although my girlfriend says it’s too strong). Will have to see how longevity is as the weather cools down a bit and won’t sweat it off as soon as I step outside.

9/10 - simple yet so unique somehow, versatile and addicting scent.

I absolutely love this but I do wish it was juicier and bolder. Maybe my bottle just needs to macerate? I find the scent very dry but so sexy and versatile.

I mainly pick up on the fig leaf, sandalwood, leather and cedar (I don't get any sweetness in the base). The opening is absolutely delicious and reminds me of BDK Gris Charnel but not as sweet. The juiciness from the fig and ginger quickly goes away and it becomes a dry, woody, slightly leathery skin scent.

I still love the scent and it can be worn in any season but I wish it had more oomf. I'll wait a couple of months to see how this changes as I had the same issue with my bottle of Instant Crush and that became a beast after maceration.

The fig is definitely there but it isn’t a juicy fig, it’s a dry woody typa fig. Also a little bit of almond oil, milky typa smoothness in the back? I can’t really explain it but it’s a pleasant background. I would’ve liked it if that background was stronger so it wasn’t as dry. Fig note too strong for me but that’s what its name is.

I bought five 8-ml travel sprayers from Mancera, and Fig Extasy was the one I was most curious to try, having already sampled another fig fragrance by Mancera, Pearl, which is less woody and perhaps a smidge more femme. I find FE greener, cleaner, and fresher than Pearl, although it's probably a difference of degree not of kind. Like Pearl, Fig Extasy reminds me of walking into the Climatron, the geodesic-dome-style enormous greenhouse in Saint Louis, where I live--that vital humid green smell--although I'm sure it should more logically remind me of walking into the Mediterranean House, where there probably are some actual figs at various growth stages. To be honest, the only thing I don't like about Fig Extasy (I'm cool with the typical Montale/Mancera synthetic musks, for what it's worth) is the spelling of the second word in the name. What's wrong with Ecstasy? Is Montale one of those Elon Musk types who think the letter "x" is so much cooler than all the other letters? It's clearly not the French word, which would be Extase, nor the English word Ecstasy, so it's likely a spelling error that someone thought was clever. Well, here's a free tip for you, Mancera marketers: it's not. A scent this appealing deserves a name that doesn't sound like it was plagiarized from a convenience-store air freshener.

Update: on the drydown, it's smokier, with a lovely incense accord over the woods and leather. I like this a lot, and I wonder if I lucked into an aged batch or something, since this is a travel vial. It's projecting about as far as I need it to, which isn't very, and the longevity seems above average, if perhaps not quite as nuclear as some of the other, muskier Montales and Manceras.

This is my second review, after having the bottle macerate for about 9 months.

This baby needed time! There was a milky smoothness that I found somewhat unsettling and offputting for some reason, which was very dominant. But now, after almost a year in a dark cabinet this beauty has bloomed! The ginger and herbs have come forward, and now it sparkles! Their lightness and elegance balance out the milky note, making it dance around your skin.

Now the milkiness gives it a warmth and cosy quality, while the herbs and spices make it pop. The leather and incense have come forward as well, albeit still being subtle, giving this otherwise very airy fragrance some body.

This is now such a beautiful fragrance, delicate and transparent, with an addictive softness that keeps you sniffing. This went from a like to a love. Well worth the 9 month wait.

I had high expectations for this fragrance and was a bit let down. The fig and fruitiness are lacking, and the name is really miss-leading. However, this is a solid, woody, green, and manly fragrance. If you're not thinking about figs or fruit, this is a beautiful, strong, fresh wood. The opening was very green, like a fig leaf, with a hint of ginger. In the middle, I got a soapy smell that disappeared fast, but it was pleasant because that's where a lot of this clean vibe comes from. Now, after a few hours, all I smell is wood. The black pepper spice is strong, though it never fades, which I love. I don't get much sweetness, but it's definitely a warm, comforting manly sandlewood. I will try wearing this again in warmer weather to see how long it will last, but mancera never fails to produce long-lasting, strong scents that project like crazy. overall, an 8/10 fragrance lovely scent, but just a tad misleading.

What I remember Italian leather to be, just without the tomato leaf accord and perhaps more woods (sandalwood & guaiac to my nose).

Also, with this, there's a good bit of labdanum; as this dries down to a smoky, sweetish, amber fragrance.

I haven't smelled Italian leather in years, but this instantly reminded me of that.

I am not a fan of Mancera House but this one is an exception. It starts with fruity fig notes at the top. The top note of the fragrance is very fig-dominant and reminds me of many fig fragrances. But after a few minutes, other facets of the fragrance appear. It's a complex fragrance with depth. The spicy top notes of black pepper and incense are mixed very well with the fig accords, I like that combination.
In the base, the fragrance is very woody. After about an hour, the fig notes are fading gradually, and the woody, spicy, and amber notes are more present. It's not similar to the Encelade but it gives you the vibe of that fragrance mixing with fig notes. If you like that, try this one as well.
7/10

"Why do you smell like an old haunted house?" was probably the worst comment I ever heard on a perfume I have been wearing. This is not for me. But honestly, I've rarely smelled good with a fig note in composition. It just doesn't blend well with my skin. Or perhaps I was just unlucky and got a sample from a bad batch. Sorry!

Named "Fig Exstasy," the fig note emerges fleetingly, taking a backseat as wood becomes the dominant character—a peculiar twist. Picture cutting the stems of a bouquet, that fresh, sappy, earthy aroma lingering alongside hints of lavender and wood. The lack of prominent fig, despite the name, doesn't particularly upset me; the fragrance, however, seems slightly misleading. It's something I'd still purchase to have in my collection.

An hour in, I've decided to go for the full bottle. There's a seductive intoxication in the fresh green (fig leaf), leather, fig, and incense blend that I've grown fond of. I can imagine wearing this throughout the year, adjusting the sprays based on the seasons, given its sheer beauty. I'm drawn to scents that stand out, and this one achieves that without being overpowering. It's approachable, yet veiled in mystery, the type that would make me turn my head as the wearer passes, wondering who they are.

After some time, the scent mellows slightly, revealing a sweetness from the berries and a blend of rose and musk, harmoniously combined but in a subtle manner. It reminds me of a sweet, feminine alter ego of Gentle Fluidity Silver by MFK.

Love this one. This is number 7 mancera in my collection. But the dominant notes are Wood. I am unable to detect fig notes. Opening is quite 'hard' for me but i get compliment 9 out of 10 of my friends.

I hope this is helpful to the someone thinking of buying Fig Extacy. So, this is my first Mancera purchase, but I have a lot of fig perfumes (Debaser, Philosykos, Premier Figuier, Nouvelle Vague, Dandelion Fig - you get it lol). This was not what I was expecting at all! I love it - I just don’t get anything green or exactly fig. There’s a sweet touch in the dry down that I want to say is the fig …. But other than that it dries down to a beautiful creamy sandalwood with a touch of cedar. For me, the opening is heavy peppery leather. It’s not …. Bad. It’s just in your face. I would definitely recommend try before you buy if you’re expecting a fig scent here (you know, with a name like Fig Extacy) but I also think it’s amazing, long lasting and smells different than anything else in my collection.

** Edit: I’ve sprayed this a few more times and I do get the figgy green opening - for whatever reason (chemistry etc) it lasts about 3 seconds on my skin. If I don’t make a point to spray and immediately sniff …. she gone! So I guess I’m getting all mid & base notes. Still think this is lovely. Still recommend try before you buy.

I have recently acquired a bottle of the Fig Extasy fragrance by Mancera, a purchase driven by a delightful sale that proved irresistible.

Upon the initial encounter, this scent reveals its unexpectedly sweet and luminous character. Styrax, benzoin, and vanilla take the lead, accompanied by the persistent essence of fig.

The green facets of the fig are perceptible, yet they find equilibrium in the dulcet embrace of vanilla and benzoin.

As the fragrance mellows into its dry down, it sheds some of its initial potency. Nonetheless, it lingers gracefully, with notes of fig, Tonka, and vanilla making a lasting impression in the air. A truly captivating olfactory experience, one might surmise.

This perfume showcases a delightful combination of dry sweet fig with green undertones, harmoniously blended with fig leaf. It features a creamy infusion of vanilla and Tonka bean, creating a syrupy sap sweetness.
Complemented by a Benzoin base that imparts a resinous twist. It's an outstanding spring fragrance, radiating a refreshing and crisp ambiance.
Similar to Tom Ford's F* Fabulous, I prefer it, considering it more budget-friendly while delivering exceptional performance and projection.

I needed some time with this one.. after a few months of macerating I’m finally starting to appreciate this.

The fig in this has a milky quality, like the white latex the fig tree exudes when you pluck a fig directly from the tree.
There’s a smoothness to this scent that took some getting used to, as for some reason it makes me feel almost uncomfortable. It’s not a metallic smoothness, nor is it the smoothness of polished wood.. it’s a strange sort of latex milky resinous type of smoothness.. it’s velvety too, so it has a story of creamy velvet feel to it overall.

The scent itself is equally hard to describe. It’s well blended and individual notes don’t clearly stand out, although the fig is clearly there. I’m getting more of the incense note that it has macerated a while. It’s an incense before you burn it, no smokiness. The ginger gives it a hint of freshness at the top, almost minty, but it’s quite subdued. I actually wish the top had something to make it more.. zingy or sparkly.. something to bring it more to life. It has gotten a tiny bit more lively now that it has macerated, but it’s still awfully smooth from start to finish. I think it also doesn’t help that I’m not too crazy about velvety fragrances, they’re just too flawless and smooth and make me want to smash something.

There’s a pretty, powdery lavender and the leather has come more forward after a few months too, giving this a lot more depth than it initially had. The vanilla rounds it off, although I can’t help but think that perhaps this scent could’ve been more lively without (or with less of) it as it adds more to that creamy velvet smoothness.

All in all it’s a beautiful scent, with good projection and longevity. It’s not as intense and long lasting as some other mancera fragrances, but I find many of them too intense anyway. I do feel mancera and montale fragrances tend to develop less over time than other fragrances, which makes them less sophisticated to my nose than even many cheapies. Fig Extasy is one of the more delicate Mancera fragrances I’ve smelled, but I still feel it could develop more and be more interesting over time.

All in all It’s a like, not a love. I think this smells best if you get whiffs of it from another person, rather than smelling the exact same thing constantly on yourself. Still a very pleasant fragrance, that is beautiful, long lasting and inoffensive.

Such a solid fig scent for fig lovers. Smells fruity and green.
Strong projection and longevity.

This smells EXACTLY exactly like melted wax.
Like when you are getting a wax and they are melting the living sh out of it in a *plastic*y container, smells exaaactly like that.
Or a wax strip.
A little plasticky deffinitely and a little waxy.
For some reason i could NOT stop sniffing my hand after testing this.
Like I said “ew” when i sprayed it but its addictive for some reason.
The siam benzoin is reallyyyy loud

Wow! This does not have that normal screechy Montale/Mancera DNA that I find in so many of their fragrances! Finally a beautiful scent on first spray!! Is this what figgy vanilla wrapped in resinous woods smells like? I guess so?? I realllly like it. Need to give it more time to make sure it is a love. I haven't smelled anything like this.

Very similar to Diptyque Tam Dao but with a smoky edge. Dry, ethereal, fig trees and sap, not fruity or sweet, very natural, and with a pleasant dry smokiness. Definitely enjoy it but as I own Tam Dao, it seems a bit redundant.

Scent: 7.5 / Longevity: 7 / Sillage: 7

I get pepper and only pepper the entire time. Not for me.

Meh, it's okay.
It's kind of a dry fragrance....reminiscent of a dry white wine. Maybe my expectations were to high because it's a Mancera, but I wasn't really blown away. There's a very strong green note in the beginning, smell a bit like crushed green leaves and twigs. Then, a leather note comes out after a while and it dries down to a "meh" scent.
I ended up selling mine

On first test I’m not loving this.. the opening smells like pickles even if i wait a good 10 minutes. The lavender and thyme are powdery similar to Elisabeth Taylor Passion for men (a fragrance i love), but there’s something smooth/creamy in there that makes it more soapy. Unfortunately it turns into stale soap. I’m hoping I’ll like it better after a few wears (this happens often), and if that doesn’t work a few months I’d macerating might help, but at first impression it’s very meh. I don’t hate it, but i definitely don’t like it either.

ADAM & EVE in sewn fig leaves being thrown out of Eden by the flaming cherubim. This sophisticated beauty is an understated charmer that's a little slow to warm up, but worth the wait. Opens with burst of wood smoke, incense and fig leaf that fades to a lather of soapy sandalwood with a green fig. After an hour or so, in the air I get a green aquatic fig, on the skin I get incense and wood smoke. To my nose, the fig note is not as sweet as you might expect and doesn't lean to sweet or dried fig, but rather a faint, aquatic, slightly under-ripe fresh fig, that leaves you wistfully longing for more. To me this is not what I would expect for a fig named fragrance, but it's beautiful.

Contrast to Figue Sauvage Laurence Dumont:
These are different although both are inspired by the work of Olivia Giacobetti. Fig Extasy is a smokier version. Needless to say, Fig Extasy outperforms.

Contrast to Eau Gourmandes Fresh Fig Laura Mercier:
These are different, but this scent is also inspired by the work of Olivia Giacobetti. EGFF is more similar to Figue Sauvage Laurence Dumont. Fig Extasy outperforms.

Contrast to Un Jardin En Mediterranee Hermes:
These are very different, and this scent is again in a different lane, although they both have the prominent fig leaf note. UJEM is a more fresh experience with fig leaf opening, a prominent neroli, and a plum-fig note that intensifies and sweetens over time. Also I don't get wood smoke in UJEM.

Overall: Well above average performance, although some have noticed it's not the nuclear Mancera norm. The dry down is worth the wait. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

Update 01/26/24: I came back to this one and noticed the fruitiness is coming more forward now. I can't stop sniffing my arm - I really love it.

a brighter TF FF... and cheaper also :)

As a fig head I check all I see with figs. This one is good.. on clothes - it's some fig, leather and tonka, leather is prominent, but softened and nice. On me it's pure leather, but my chemistry hates all Mancera/Montale. As well for the powerhouse all Mancera's usually are this one disappoints - lasts for 3 hours on skin and projects intimately. Not FB worthy for me. Nothing spectacular and whoever has compared this to Philosykos - this is soooo not true. I bathe in Philosykos, I love it that much, this one here is something entirely different.

are you all guys that voted for “reminds me of TF FF” alright? this thing has nothing to do with FF smell wise xD

A more synthetic version of Tom Ford F****** Fabulous. I think Tom Ford blended their fragrance better and smells less synthetic but it’s not worth the price. This is a perfect substitute and lasts longer. I highly recommend 🔥

No kidding, this smells like rich creamy peanut butter 🥜🍞 VERY realistic peanut butter smell! ....nothing more nothing less.

They say its more about the journey than the destination, but with fig extasy the dry down is AMAZING !! Im not of fan of the fruity opening but the last stage of the scent is lavender heavy- so very clean and classy smelling. This might be my new go-to fragrance for the daytime (was actually about to sell it)

Fig-based fragrances are inherently weak performers, but being a Mancera this does better than most.

Has a delicious sweet fig top with, some spice and vanilla in the dry down.

I would put this over most other fig fragrances, but it is a little more synthetic than something like DS & Durga Debaser. The result is better performance and mass appeal. It is less synthetic than other Manceras.

If you like Ferrari Noble Fig, which got discontinued, this is basically a more refined and complex version.

Smells beautiful and is very sniffable, but I'm just not into this type of composition.

EDIT: Hold up. Wait a minute. SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT! 🤔

Fig Extasy turns into something addictive and irresistibly sexy.

I am an opening, not a drydown junkie, but the drydown on Fig Extasy is where the party is at, for realsies.

It's so delicately cuddly and nice.

After a shower, snuggling inside its nuanced scent bubble is so blissful.

It doesn't have the weapons-grade fixative of Instant Crush or Red Tobacco, but the scent profile justifies it.

Scent is amazing, but performance is not so good as other Manceras, 5-6 hours

Fig is really prominent here!
Unisex and getting lots of compliments from women!

Tested today in store - not as beast mode as the rest of Mancera. It's a fresh fig leave + Aoud Leather by Montale.

My Youtube channel: @SanneParf

This is interesting. You definitely get the Fig Leaf, and a huge note of Anise!? Anise isn’t listed, but wow, that sandalwood is very close to anise. Anyone else get a huge whiff of that? Lol

Not for me because of the strong leather, it reminds me of TF Tuscan leather, Biblioteque Byredo and TF white Suede

I got a sample of this and am totally up for the 120 ml. bottle of perfume exquisiteness. The dry down is surely sending me into the Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous stratosphere, sans the hefty price tag. Not a dupe at the opening, but surely and steadily reminiscing FF in the afterglow.

A very well crafted composition, that I would wear all year round. The longevity is immense. You will get the maximum out of every dollar you've paid for this brilliant juice. Love. Love. Love. Excellency at it's highest point. Thank you, Mancera.

A very refreshing new take on the classic Fig perfume. Mancera took what was known and loved and added spiciness and depth that make it really memorable and worthy of a full bottle. The leather in this is lovely and just right for autumn.

I got this as a sample, it’s not the type of perfume I’d normally go for but I thought I’d give it a try. I actually really like it! Opening is a blast of fig with a slight touch of ginger. After about 30 mins the leather and incense really show through. To me the dry down is very smoky and woody, with just a touch of fig to keep it unisex (although I’d still say it’s more masculine). Sillage and longevity are very good. Definitely more of an autumn/winter scent, nice one to have in rotation.

to me is beautiful green fig tree, very natural and dusty... I think I detect vetiver vibe also. Excellent sillage and longevity!! Not so similar to F*ckinf fabulous or Jazz club. More similar to Philosykos without coconut vibe.

Not my cup of tea. It's trying too many things at the same time.
It's like they were shooting in the dark or part of their "let's see what happens" product line.
Meh.

Big dissapointment for me. I find the name really innapropriate, it is so little about fig and so much more about leather and wood!
The fig is noticeable, among other notes, only at the beggining, for a very short period of time (I love the opening, btw), but after max. 15-20 min, the fig is gone and then all you get is a very masculin scent, woody and leathery. I also smell something similar to tobacco there, plus some cedar and a hint of vanilla towards the dry down, after some hours. To me, middle notes and the dry down are pretty similar to Jazz Club Maison Margiela. Don't buy if you're looking for a fig perfume, it's not that type of scent!

gorgeous, 10/10 fragrance

Does anyone know where to purchase this? Can’t find it anywhere

I was very hesitant when i purchased this blindly due to my love for Fig. And boy. this made my day when i received it. I love it to core. This is my number 1 Mancera now in terms of scent and profile. I do not get any lactonic note. I just get a very fresh fig scent which is love at first sniff. Now i love this more than Aoud lemon mint and cedrat boise. some notes of Those scents are similar to most fragrances in market. but this one here is very very unique.

UNIQUENESS = 10/10.
VERSATILITY = 10/10.

LONGEVITY IS YET TO BE TESTED.

This instantly reminded me of F***ing Fabulous. I'm not a big fig leaf note fan though, but it's ok.

I love all kind of fig scents, so obviously the name "Fig Extasy" sparked my interest when a sample happened to fall into my hands. And I'm glad I got to test it: it's a good scent, and true to its name in a way... just not quite my kind of way, unfortunately.

There's none of the juicy sweet fig fruit here, and just a glimpse of the delicious green sharpness of the leaves; instead of those notes that are always big hits with me, Fig Extasy focuses on woody notes, emphasized by subtle leather. This woody element is really nice, nutty and natural, and, yes, believable as fig wood. Not quite what I personally want from a perfume, but great nonetheless - it's generally just a very well-made fragrance, the kind that's balanced and obviously high quality. Finally, although there's definitely nothing "macho" about it, it is also slightly on the masculine side of unisex.

So not for me, but that's alright: not everything has to be, and I like it anyway!

I had the possibility to try Fig Extasy in a Montale boutique in Milan, and I have to say, I am very much impressed.

First of all, you got a semi-sweet note of fig at the beginning with a touch of green. It is not a sweet fragrance, but neither a fresh one. It is a well-rounded, versatile, and long-lasting all-year-round fragrance. In 1 to 2 hours the sweetness disappears and you are left with a very nice smell of the fig leaf itself. It reminds me of standing under a very big fig tree when I was a kid, and you would literally smell the aroma of the tree itself. Briefly, I would describe it as a green fruity fresh fragrance. The ginger, lavender, and benzoin in this, create the perfect balance of freshness and sweetness for any "fig" lover. This can be considered an improved and more refined version of Fico di Amalfi of Acqua di Parma.

The duration of the fragrance is between 6-8 hours on my skin, and the sillage is just right. You won't be emptying a room but you will leave a nice smell of fig around you. It is worth its price for sure.

*Initial review after few hours on skin.

The name "Fig Extasy" made me think of a photorealistic fig, but this is not it, looking now evident in the listed notes too. So lets cancel any references to Philosykos, Figuier Premiere and the likes. (I forgot this was Mancera for a second...)

Color association: Brown with green details.

It opens up with creamy (Virginian) cedar and leather, supported by milky fig giving slight greenness. I did pick out thyme too, a nice aromatic twist. If I smelled it blind, I'd guess a new release from Memo, i.e. "Italian Leather Fig".

Vanilla pod is a nice base detail, not sickly sweet, it's tobaccoey woody vanilla. Fusion d'Issey has a similar sandalwood-fig usage with amber base, but goes into a coconut direction too. Here you don't get much coconut but a very lactonic woody leather, I thought of Penhaligon's Paithani for this aspect! I'll def. spend some time with this.

IG: @talkaboutscents

Ive been impressed by Fig Extasy. The opening is a bright fresh blast of fig & ginger which is very uplifting and pleasant. The opening is a little fleeting unfortunately as the fragrance quickly develops into a green, sweet & very creamy scent. Which is still hugely enjoyable. Fig extasy does not develop much from this stage for the duration of its stay on skin. It is very well blended with no harsh edges to the composition like a few other mancera's tend to have.

We'll done Mancera, this is great!.

Longevity is 6-8 hours projects well for first 2-3 hours then settles down.

This caught my eye because it's new and I love and collect fig and date note scents. It's the sweet fruit/nectar/milk note that I really look for, although I do like the green leaf/tree notes too. I have Dior Dune Pour Homme, Aqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi, Diptyque Philisycos, John Varvatos (date), Dolce&Gabbana K EDP (has a fig nectar note like this one), Imaginary Authors Yesterday Haze, Serge Lutens Arabie. Thing is though, the "fruity" accord for this is listed 6th from the top. I like the fig fruit. Wish it were more prominent.

Yup.
Add this to the large pile of “wants”
