Essential Parfums Fig Infusion
Sunlit fig, black tea and a soft wood base
Fig Infusion is Nathalie Lorson's optimistic, reassuring Eau de Parfum, written from the light of a sunny day in the south of France. A big fig lit up by mandarin and clementine opens it, freesia, orange blossom and Sri Lankan black tea fill the heart, and cedarwood, sandalwood and benzoin settle into a comforting wood base.

How it unfolds
-
Fig lit by citrus
The brand describes a big fig, lit up by mandarin and clementine. The fruit is the first thing you meet: juicy, a little green and rounded, with the two small citrus fruits giving it light rather than acidity. Together they set a bright, friendly tone from the first spray.
-
Tea between the flowers
In the heart, freesia and orange blossom meet Sri Lankan black tea. Freesia is airy and fresh, orange blossom softly honeyed and white-floral, and the black tea adds a dry, faintly tannic line so that the flowers do not turn sweet.
-
A wood that comforts
Virginian cedarwood, sandalwood and benzoin make the base, and the brand calls it a comforting wood. Cedar gives dryness, sandalwood creaminess, benzoin a gentle balsamic sweetness, so the fruitiness of the fig fades out into warmth.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Light, but not shy
At 17% it is a fuller Eau de Parfum than its fruity first minutes suggest. It suits spring and summer days, work and relaxed weekends, and two or three sprays are plenty. In autumn the cedar and benzoin make it a good companion for knitwear.
Who it suits
Anyone who likes fig but wants it tidy: fresh rather than milky, with tea and flowers for company. It is unisex and a good first step for people who think fruity perfumes are too sweet. Fans of cedar-led woods will find a calm wood at the end.
Why choose Essential Parfums Fig Infusion
The brand gives a full, legible pyramid, and the character it describes, optimistic and reassuring, can be followed in it. Nathalie Lorson signed the composition. The formula is 92% natural in origin, vegan and in a refillable bottle.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Fig Infusion a sweet fruity perfume?
It is fruity at the start, with fig, mandarin and clementine, but black tea, cedarwood and sandalwood keep it out of sugary territory. Benzoin adds a soft sweetness only at the end.
What concentration is it?
Fig Infusion is an Eau de Parfum with a 17% concentration according to the brand, in a 100 ml bottle. That makes it denser than an eau de toilette.
Does it work all year round?
Mostly, yes. Fresh fig and citrus suit warm weather, while cedarwood, sandalwood and benzoin keep it comforting when it turns cool.
Would it make a good gift?
Yes, for someone who likes fruit with restraint. It is unisex, and a fig-and-tea character is easy to explain.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
