Lost in Translation
Since Kstadt fortunately offers the Berdoues fragrance range, I can't get past the 1902 series either.

There is a tester for all fragrances - only for Figuier and Sichuan not.

But as so often in life, the mysterious is especially attractive.

I translated Figuier from standing with fig, and Sichuan sounds like Szechuan to me - probably.
Following this " blue haze ", I take the bottle with me.

And indeed, my feeling did not fool me - fig, dusted with Szechuan pepper finds my nose.
No, not a " blue haze " but a surprisingly full scent, which nevertheless remains light.

But instead of the listed fig leaf I hear the complete fruit - supported by woody material - it may be the fig wood.

A beautiful first impression - soft and fruity interwoven with delicate sweetness.

A mild but invigorating peppery note leads to rosy - delicately powdered with iris.
Musk adds luster and casual elegance to the homogeneous fragrance.

Berdoues provides high-quality fragrances at an acceptable price.

This fragrance is also a successful daytime companion, which is also suitable for evening events, as it stays close.

I hope that Kstadt will offer this interesting label for a longer time to come.

Trefle and Vetiver also had to go - but more about that later in this theatre.

Peppered fig = slap in the face?
Hello and have a nice evening, you noses, you! D
Today I am describing again a fragrance from the 1902 collection of Berdoues, which I recently discovered, which means that maybe in the future there will be some more comments on my fragrances, but don't worry, tomorrow there will be another brand for the time being :))
I probably won't describe all of them, but I had to comment this one.

Because three times you can guess why! If you don't think about it, then you don't know me as well as you thought, mu ha ha ha ha ha!

In any case, the 1902 fragrances are quite cheap, simple, but not at all bad smelling fragrances, which are good for refreshment. As I wrote in my first 1902 commentary, I compare the scents with the 4711 scents, of which there are dozens by now, so there should be something for every taste.
And now, without talking any more, I finally come to the description of the fragrance!

The fragrance:
The fragrance begins with figs and pepper. A strange combination, because pepper doesn't go well with the sweetish green fruits. And although the pepper still comes across quite strong when sprayed on, it weakens a bit in the next moment and doesn't seem as feared stabbing. It even gets weaker and weaker as the fragrance progresses and eventually disappears completely into the background. The figs or fig leaves have a beautiful scent of these delicious fruits with the distinctive scent of a fig and green notes. In the first hour, however, the scent becomes slightly stuffy, as is sometimes the case with green-scented figs, but then the stuffy scent disappears again a little and joins the pepper more in the background.
What remains is a fine, but weak, greenish-sweet fig scent, with a little musk and rose, a little wood that cannot be determined more precisely and a slightly powdery aura that should come from the iris. All in all a small, fine, if slightly insignificant fragrance, where you can't necessarily do much wrong with the price if you like figs.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The fragrance has a rather weak sillage... I think it's a pity, but I have to admit that I had already expected this. Of course, it is also a loose cologne, which only has a refreshing effect for a short time and then remains on the skin as a lukewarm but nice breeze and weakens further and further. Also the durability is therefore not exactly the best, because it can be smelled for four to five hours, but around the time it radiates very, very weakly.

The bottle:
The bottle is cylindrical and has a chrome-plated lid. In itself, it seems very simple, but the beautiful colour of the fragrance liquid enhances the bottle. From the label, a coloured ribbon goes around the bottle, which also carries the colour of the fragrance liquid, but in a slightly stronger colour. Looks nice, then.

So, that was the fig scent of this fragrance series. I find fig as a fragrance very nice, unfortunately most of these fragrances have the habit to smell a bit stuffy, so many fig fragrances are not so great if you don't like stuffy fragrances so much. Here however this stuffy phase disappears quite fast again. The scent is beautiful as a fig scent, but not necessarily the best.

In addition, the fragrance is quite weak as far as charisma and stamina are concerned, but the fragrance costs very little (especially on the Internet), and therefore you can't do anything wrong with the price if you want to use various simple colognes in summer, that's just like with the different "flavours" of the 4711 colognes. Not great in itself, but still quite nice.

As I said, this fragrance is good for the summer for a short-term refreshment, which you can use every now and then or spray on quickly. However, it is much too weak for long-term wear or even for going out. The rose may sound feminine, by the way, but since it is weak, I think that men can take a look here, too, especially since the pepper (which later becomes quite soft) makes the fragrance unisex.

Soo, that's it, then. If you are looking for really good fig scents, you could have a look at my fig scent list here, but as so often I would recommend Fico di Amalfi from Acqua di Parma, Philosykos from Diptyque or Debaser from D.S. Durga.

Well then, have a nice evening and see you next time! :)
