Ichnusa
Eau de Parfum
by Profumum

The Scoop
An homage to the unspoiled beauty of Sardinia, an island between Italy and Tunisia. Imagine a long stretch of rugged coastline, the crash of emerald waves against the rocky shore and a hot summer wind stirring up all the tantalizing scents of the amazing Mediterranean flora. The predominant note here is fig – a warm, dry fig with a deep, satisfying sweetness that mingles with wood, freshly cut grass and sharp myrtle. This smells like the last days of summer , when green has turned to gold and fruit is ripening in the bright sun. Very different from green or milky fig scents, this wild and windswept version is a must-try for all fig lovers.

I read the reviews and I think I may have gotten a very myrtle-y batch. I don't catch any fig goodness in mine, it's as if I doused myself with some pine smelling cleaning solution. Very disappointed.

I heard this brand is much cheaper in Italy. Does anyone know if it's true?

I tried to fight it.....but every time I caught a wiff of myself, $240 just didn't seem like a big deal anymore. I used to love anything with fig in it now I LOVE anything fig and Ichnusa is my #1 crush. My new HG

I am so, so sorry to have to do this; I have deferred writing an additional review for Ichnusa since reviewing it (below) and buying a full bottle. However, it turns out that it's absolutely true that this perfume changes batch by batch. While my sample was warm and lovely, the perfume from my bottle smells much heavier on the myrtle -- much greener/dryer, and altogether inappropriate for cold, winter weather. I am devastated. (And, yes, I HAVE tried to put it in a roll-on bottle and use it that way ... still the same dryness.) I loved the sample so much. No matter how long I wait it out, though, this perfume NEVER really "opens up," as they say. I am sorely disappointed.

While it pained me to shell out $240 for a bottle of perfume, this was a fragrance I HAD to have. This perfume is very earthy. A magical forest on your skin.

Wow ... this company is going to be the death of my wallet, I think. I love the smell of fig, and I have been on a mission lately to find the perfect rendition. This scent transcends every other -- and I really have sampled them all (Diptyque, L'artisan, Perfumerie Generale, etc). Though it starts off quite dry and green, it quickly melts into a very warm, dry fig -- not at all powdery. It lingers for hours and never becomes powdery or overly sweet. This is the perfect scent if you are looking for something that is mature and elegant, yet also warm and sweet. Most important to me, it smells very natural and earthy (unlike warm/sweet frags with vanilla, amber, or sugar undertones). I think it is enhanced tremendously by the fact that this scent is designed to be unisex. I can't wait for my other samples of Il Profumum to arrive, though, if the other scents are as impeccable as this one, I will soon be broke!

This is an unbelievably GORGEOUS scent that truly transforms itself over time on your skin. It starts off very figgy...not the creamy fig of l'Artisan's Premier Figuer Extreme, but intensely green fig, very bright and sharp, with a slightly medicinal overlay from the myrtle. Later, it dries down into something deep, creamy-figgy, and woodsy. I am determined to have a bottle, even at $195. I like my Jo Malone, I love my L'Artisan, but this one tops them both.

Not sure I like the myrtle touch in this scent, but it is a nice grassy fig for those who like fig scents. I was hoping for moire grass and less fig, but this was not that. Sweet and somewhat crisp at the same time, this is a definate maybe for the green in it - as it is the type of scent that might grow on you.

Dear King of England, I tried Jo Malone's Wild Fig/Cassis based on your critique and love it. I also really like Diptyque. Have you tried it?

Alright, I've just found my favorite fig. Better than Diptyque, Better than L'Artisan, and better than Heeley. It is worth the price! Long lasting & simply an elegant fig frag.

Darren -Furniture/Interior Design from Chicago

Sorry Mr Fig, I almost forgot about the Heeley version. For a true-to-nature fig tree, it is hard to beat. Ichnusa is more like an elegant masculine cologne. They are all very good, running neck and neck I would say, apart from L'artisan's offering, which is a bit coconutty and more of an also-ran

This is my second fig, in order of preference. The first being Jo Malone's Wild Fig and Cassis (which is very green and cool-earthy), Third comes L'Artisan's version.

This is my first fig - I am enthralled. The air is cool and damp as aspen leaves float to the ground - this beautiful scent enhances the lovely melancholy of the day.

A must have for fig and woodsey smell lovers and must try for the greens.
