🌳 The Inspiration: The Bark and Roots
Forget the fruit; focus on the tree. Fig Wood & Cedar is a dry, woody interpretation of the fig theme. It captures the scent of the grey bark, the gnarled roots, and the dry earth of the cliffs. It is masculine, sophisticated, and serious.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Dry Woods
The scent opens with a dry Bergamot and Pink Pepper. The heart is purely woody—Fig Tree Accord and Cypress. It smells like sun-baked wood and resin. The base is a powerful blend of Cedarwood and Vetiver, providing a long-lasting, earthy trail.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Forest

🧠 The Scent Psychology: Stability
Woody scents project reliability and strength. Fig Wood & Cedar makes you feel grounded and capable. It is a "leadership" scent, perfect for the office or formal events.

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"This is for the man who doesn't want to smell like fruit salad. It's austere and architectural. It smells like a modernist villa on a cliff."
