🥀 The Inspiration: The End of Summer
Rotting figs on the damp ground. The Withered Fig is the Gothic version. It mixes the Sweet Fruit with Earth, Mold (Patchouli), and Dead Leaves. It is melancholic and dark.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Rot and Earth
The scent opens with Fermented Fruit. The heart is Dried Fig Leaf and Wet Soil. The base is Patchouli and Moss. It is haunting.
