At first I was overwhelmed by the Sycamore in this, and thought it too woodsy. Upon drydown, I found it to be more balanced with a touch of seasalt - and having a very Mediterranean feel to it. I think it brings to mind the image of bits of ancient Greece scattered along the coastline. A very dry interpretation of fig.I do enjoy this, but in a very different way from the other fig scents - it invokes a very calm and serene feeling.

Description:Intense memory of a summer night, a hammock under the fig tree. The magic moment of the scents comes out, underlining with purple the horizon.Head note: Fig tree sap Heart notes: Fresh fig

My fragrance "to be obtained" list: Christian Dior - J'Adore Salvatore Ferragamo - Incanto Shine Tom Ford - Black Orchid Emporio Armani - Diamonds I'm looking forward to trying the new Kylie Minogue fragrance if it comes out in the US and the Marc Jacobs Pear as I'm a sucker for pear scented anything. I've been starting to get into the really high end fragrances, Serge Lutens Gris Clair made me weak in the knees, especially to imagine on ratspy but $120 a bottle is a bit of a splurge. I've got my first wee vials of Bond No. 9 Fragrances (Saks For Her and Broadway Nite) on their way currently.Maybe I can come up with a system to reward myself for meeting fitness goals by splurging on such luxuries.I like to italicize fragrance names as they remind me, in concept, of book titles. They are very expressive in their own way.Also, I will have to post about the acquisition of my first Dior suit sometime soon, as that has been a clothing experience that was Like No Other.

Today I recommend: Getting Accepted into College (University of Baltimore - BA in Digital Media Simulation and Design - I'm a college JUNIOR now!) Having someone like ratspy to nurse you back to health while you have the stomach flu Arcanum: Of Steamworks
