Let me start by saying that I don’t typically enjoy making blind purchases. I was browsing for a fig scent that would project well enough to avoid multiple applications. I’ve also dabbled with some Arabic brands, but some bottles/brands have a high alcohol content, which evaporates the scent much more quickly. Essential Parfums are crafted by perfumer Legends, such as Natalie Larson (Le Labo Another 13), Olivia Jacobetti (Diptyque Philosykos, L’Artisan Parfumeur Premier Figuier). Fig Infusion opens with a strong, fig flesh note, which quickly transcends into a moderate black tea mid note. The base note is sweet, I want to say a floral jasmine. The sillage is moderate, and longevity lasted a good 5 hours for me. For the price, the perfume delivers at niche level, and is totally worth the money.
