I fell in love with this fragrance, it reminds me of a summer day by the sea at the country house, in the shade of a fig tree, as if I am immediately transported back home. I received the original bottle, even though the price was quite advantageous and I ordered it carefully. Thank you.
For me, this is the perfect scent for summer. The juicy green fig gradually unfolds into a sweet coconut. At first, I bought a sample but didn't try it right away because I was afraid it wouldn't suit me. I usually prefer sweeter scents, and this one is more unisex. However, I started noticing compliments about the perfume from my clients, beautician, and even my husband admitted that it's a really great fragrance. And I fell in love with it more and more. Especially on hot days, I just can't be without it, so I ordered the full version. Thank you, Make Up, even though I had to wait, it was worth it.
I didn't buy it here. First, I took a sample at the Diptyque boutique, applied it immediately to my neck, and as I walked, I was delighted by the simultaneous warm sweetness of coconut and the freshness of fig leaf. I ran back to the store for a full bottle. The fruity scent itself is very evident, but it is nicely complemented by woody and creamy coconut notes. On my skin, it "burns" very quickly, and I feel the transition from freshness to creamy soapiness quite rapidly, within a few hours, although the fig is noticeable throughout the development from top to base. I prefer how it unfolds on woolen fabrics - sweaters, scarves (although the fragrance is more suitable for warm weather), as it adds creaminess and prolongs longevity. On the skin, it fades after about 4 hours, which is not the best performance for a niche EDP. But despite this, I will continue wearing it. However, I would recommend using it occasionally and not getting too carried away because it can quickly become overwhelming - it is quite specific. Compliments don't concern me, but few people around me understood this fragrance, although it is expected considering that the niche's task is to create something non-trivial, not understood by everyone. I recommend trying it first before blind buying.
Thank you, makeup, for finally bringing in the perfumed water. For several years, they have been selling only toilet water everywhere, and I had already lost all hope of purchasing it. The scent is unique and unlike anything else. The service at my favorite store is also excellent, as always.
This is my love. After purchasing from a perfume store, I was given a set of diptyque samples. And this fig with coconut conquered my heart. I understood that it's my scent. It's spring and summer. And even now, it's excellent. I saw a super price on makeup and decided to order. The longevity lasts for 7 hours. It's the original!! I bought the perfumed water. Thank you, Makeup! You have never let me down.
