Fig without ecstasy
In search of the most beautiful fig in the country, today I tested this new fragrance from Mancera. Thanks to dear member GökNes the fragrance arrived so quickly to me:)
The first impression pleases me at first, because here fig full tumbles out of the spray head. No coconut association, no accessories, no alcohol - directly fig. After a few minutes of waiting, in which this fig broadside is allowed to act, I notice that something increasingly bothers me about this fig note. Fig can bring an artificial plastic note, after all, and unfortunately this one increasingly does that for me. In addition, it is also very sweet, I think of "Barbie plastic" and that dampens my initial enthusiasm somewhat. Unfortunately, I can perceive neither incense nor pepper. The ginger I guess with good will (and because I currently drink masses of ginger tea and know how it smells) after a few minutes delicately perceived as a dampening background note.
The fig is the absolute dominatrix during the first 30 minutes. Then it finally gives up the plastic whip and wraps itself in soft suede. The leather note blends very nicely with the fig, it becomes rounder, more natural and fruity. Lavender follows later and adds a nice fresh spice without becoming soapy. I can't detect the other notes separately. Overall, the fragrance changes in the course of the first hour from light sweet to warmer "fully ripe" sweet without being too juicy.
After three hours, the base beckons: the fig leaves, the suede stays and nestles into a balsamic sweetness. Vanilla does not jump into focus here, as it so often does, but blends in nicely with the other balsamic notes. So it remains until I can smell nothing more after a good six hours, even directly on the skin.
The sillage is powerful in the first hour and is perceived even at a distance of 2m (I always test with two sprays on the forearm). Then it plays around me at arm's length and dims in the base down to skin-tight.
I like about Fig Extasy that the fig is really good and for hours to smell. Also the connection with leather is harmonious and has positively surprised me, I had not yet this combination.
What I do not like is the plastic sweetness at the beginning ... well, and "Exstasy" I have not found here. The moment when a fragrance gets you totally, is quite a "euphoric state with deeply felt happiness" (loosely based on Netdoctor to the effect of MDMA) - only there was not the Fig Extasy for me, the search continues.
EDIT November 2021: the course is similar today, as described above, however, I feel especially the prelude today not so sweet. He develops spicier and less synthetic.
