Great! A fig tree!
The tree of knowledge! After I studied theology, I am of course happy about a perfume with such a name. And after I have studied CATHOLICAL theology, it is very easy for me to talk for hours about complicated things that I actually cannot understand. This is sometimes very helpful when writing perfume reviews. I also lack any background knowledge about chemistry, fragrances etc. I can only talk about what I smell in the end, but what is behind it... no idea! Almost like in theology (what a stupid comparison haha!)
The tree of knowledge. And it does NOT smell like an apple, not a piece! It's nice when a cliché is not served. But why it smells like fig, we all can read in Genesis 3.7 (ok ok, I'll stop. Don't get me started on this topic hihi).
When I smell the spray head of my bottle, it smells insanely obtrusive. So I sprayed very timidly, but the sillage is not as strong as I feared. It's just that fig with citrus on top smells a bit pungent. The scent quickly turns green and very soon woody notes are added. I don't find the scent particularly fresh. The wood is too present. It smells like the whole tree. Wood, leaves, fruit (i.e. figs), and also a little bit of the roots and the soil. And nothing else. From then on, the scent doesn't change for me anymore.
Feigenbaum with everything and that's it! Such a typical niche scent. If you're mainly interested in the Douglas Top 10, you probably won't be able to get much use out of it. Durability is slightly above average with a rather discreet sillage. I recommend the fragrance for the daytime. It already has something light and airy, which also goes very well with warm weather and outdoor activities. For men and women.
Jovoy's tree of knowledge has something very casual and relaxed about it. So I don't find the name so fitting after all. For the first time the Tree of Knowledge was not a fig tree at all. And the story of the Fall is not necessarily meant to spread good cheer, but in the art of perfumery you can allow yourself a little artistic freedom
