Fig Whiskey

A beautiful, boozy, fig fragrance. It’s sweet sticky fig in the best possible way. I get drinking fig flavored whiskey in an old dim library. I love it.

The bottle tells you this brand is out there with its scent profiles. I don't find it to be a bad smelling, but the fruit note (maybe the fig or the peach) is definitely getting to the point of turning or fermenting. It gives the fragrance an odd, medicinal green smell which mixes with the whiskey note in an unusual way. Perhaps I am being swayed by the aesthetic of the bottle, but this has a that old world smell that I would associate with a wacky alchemist or herbalist. It is boozy, but more so green than it is fresh fruity. It's odd but not unpleasant.

Boozy and delicious, the smell of stone fruit just on the verge of turning from syrup to alcohol, mixed with spice and earth and a little tinge of green. I think this might be one of the tastiest scents I've ever had. It doesn't have the strongest sillage or longevity, but it does not disappear immediately either. I think it smells so good that no matter when it fades, you miss it and want it back. The sillage is very personal, not for people who want a room to know they've entered it. I believe Fig Whiskey is a true gender neutral fruit gourmand. I adore it, and I want to try more from this new brand whose bottles are also beautiful and luxurious-feeling, though not very large.

Though it has a SLIGHTLY medicinal first touch, after drydown it's a soft spicy fragrance grounded with fruity fig. It is PERFECT for layering with vanilla for a fall/winter scent. It's not overly sweet, almost like a dry apple cider fragrance. I love it and will be purchasing a full bottle when my budget allows. It smells like whiskey, cinnamon, and nutmeg without smelling like a confection. Longevity and sillage are slightly above average for me, generally around 6 hours I can still smell it, and it's not overpowering by any means.
