Note

Fig Leaf

Carried by 16 fragrances in this catalogue

Fig Leaf smells of green leaves, and is usually printed in the opening.

What it is

It sits on green leaves.
Every fragrance here is measured on the same twenty-four axes.
How loud ordinary
It sits about where an average perfumery material sits.
How long it lasts short-lived
An opening material; it has faded before the heart.
