Figue Érotique

“This is so stunning at least the first opening notes. I'll just go buy a dupe though instead of this one as it's way way over priced. Salty bitter fig is interesting. I'll not be buying $260....$400 perfume though so that's a no for me Mr. Ford. Also doesn't last at all. The initial explosion of Fig is gorgeous though.”

“This is a more richly complex fragrance than most recent Tom Ford offerings,...and that titular figue (fig) note is only one of it many charms.Yes, the startup is a fiesta of fresh, peppery citrus and jammy fig,...but in drydown, this smells like a Black Orchid flanker born from a different marketing campaign.So maybe not entirely original, within brand, ...but since Black Orchid is basically TF's No. 5,...it actually is still more original than most of their scents.”

“Beautiful in the opening stages when the fig is most present. Then it goes through a stage that is unfortunate, a ylang heavy portion that feels a little cheap and uninspired. Finally a pleasant drydown, softly fruity again, lactonic and floral with a fuzzy patchouli. It’s the classic ‘hook you with the top notes disappointment’ and a pricey one at that. 2 out of 5.”
