Fig flatterer
I almost always have a hard time with figs. But "Fico d'India" makes it easy for me. Wonderful. A fruit basket made of fig wood, soft and sweet, round and delicious. Absolutely fantastic. And this for the very small purse. Not bad, Mr. Specht!

I had never heard of Tuttotondo before, but I am glad to have this scent under my nose or on my wrist! He once again proved that I should continue to give fragrances, which I had not liked before, a chance at regular intervals. A real price/performance tip. For fig fans even more so.

"Fico d'India" concentrates more on the sweet-fruity sides of the plant, but that suits me well. Wet, cheerful, smiling. A positive fragrance for spring and summer. The mango gives something exotic, the (coconut) milk makes everything fluffier and softer without getting on your nerves too quickly. Very calming and almost a bit meditative the whole thing. Creamy and slightly feminine incline. Perfumes don't come any friendlier. And who worries about the quality at the price (approx. 40€ per 100 ml) - they are also unfounded. Everything smells high enough to triple the price. People's Champion.

Flacon: will surely give prettier flacons... but it depends on the juice!
Sillage: tender and smart
Shelf life: not much more than 6 hours it stayed with me

Conclusion: for me the most pleasant, juiciest, fruitiest and most portable fig on the market. Or at least in the top three. No lies, no hype. That's great. And only for a few euros. Wow. Wow.

Cowardly coward?
Again a colorful cover that looks very inviting.

With these sun colours it becomes Italian warm around the heart.

I'm looking forward to a sweet fig - but she doesn't show up.
Not for now.

But the coward has taken only a running start, and now reaches me sweet and juicy.
A few sugared orange slices are still there - and the fragrance melange will be delicious - without being gourmandig.

The peach rolls discreetly in the background, accompanied by tenderly bitter cyclamen.
The coconut milk acts as a light smoother and gives Fico creaminess.

A soft good mood scent - not only for summer.

Absolutely unisex - and well wearable in everyday life - if you want to conjure up the Italian moments

Summer, sun, sunsh... Fig tree ?
By the nice comment of Helena1411 on the fragrance became attentive, I bought this to me nothing, you nothing blindly :)

Due to the lack of an "everyday" summer scent (Tom Fords Mandarino di Amalfi is simply too bad and too expensive for me for every day :) this wink with the fence post just came in handy.

All right, let's get to the scent experience:

The smell can be divided with me into exactly 3 to 4 components:
The name-giving fig, juicy peach, creamy coconut milk and the sensual musk.

Once sprayed on the skin, a delicious, creamy, slightly acidic scent is no longer present.
The fig is the clock around which all the other fragrance components arrange themselves; I particularly like the creamy coconut milk, which I can really perceive well, and I'm really surprised about it
Actually I am not a friend of coconut in fragrances, because this fragrance often seems very synthetic and sticky to me, but here it forms a great balance to fig.
The fig and the coconut share their place on the sunny side with a very light peach note, which sometimes blows around my nose....wonderful.
The musk holds everything in place, as it should be, in place.

Another word about the sweetheart:
I would categorize the fragrance as unisex, with a slight tendency towards the feminine side...but never too sweet that men couldn't wear it.
It is simply a beautiful, slightly sweet-smelling summer scent that radiates a good mood.

The shelf life is fully okay, 6-7 hours the fragrance creates loose (on clothes even longer)
I would estimate the Sillage nevertheless weaker, but this does not make in my eyes so much, since the price performance ratio is simply correct. (a little spray can't hurt :) )

Conclusion:
Who like me was still looking for a summer fragrance for 2019, should definitely give this fragrance a chance. It just makes me feel good and radiates a casual aura of summery joie de vivre.

The scent doesn't do much wrong, (Sillage vllt.) but for that, all the more right...provided you like fig scents or are like me, looking for something new.

Delicious figs, sweet figs, cute figs, fine figs, figs figs!
Oooh yeah! Finally a fig scent again. You know I like figs:
I even bought fresh figs from the supermarket again, because I not only like the fig scent itself, but also the taste extremely!

But figs already look quite funny. I mean, okay, from the outside they're greenish-violet and have a nice round shape (if they had eyes and mouth, they'd look like the Slime characters from the Dragon Quest game series :DD). These fruits could even be easily pressed in, as they can become very very soft as they ripen. And if you're not careful, the purple color sticks to your fingers for a while.

When you finally eat these fruits, it is usually the case that you rip them in half. Then one has a view into the inside of the fruit, which already looks quite unusual,... it is almost as if one would dissect an alien being, hö hö hö :DD But they still taste quite delicious! :D

Anyway, I haven't had a new fig scent under my nose for a long time, so as always I can't wait to test it. And I hope very much that this scent also smells nice and tasty of figs, because unfortunately there are also scents where the figs smell rather stuffy.

The Scent:
Ohh yeah, I really like that! At first I smell figs, a little orange and more mango, but they also seem a bit milky, as if the mango were in the form of fruit ice cream. Later the mangos are replaced by peaches, which also smell creamy-milky. The figs become a little stronger and smell slightly greenish, but also sweetish, whereby the sweetness could come from various fragrances. I would say that the sweetness comes mainly from the violets, because violets always appear powdery to me and the scent here has a small, powdery note.
The fig, actually prickly pear, becomes stronger a little later and now smells much more mature than green. I also think it's great that the fig smells very authentic here, which is why I particularly like it.
The milky note I sniffed out earlier, together with the mangos and peaches, seems to come from coconut milk, as coconut notes can be smelled a little later.
Much later, the fruity notes smell quite mixed, so that one can no longer distinguish them from each other as well as at the beginning, but everything smells wonderful together. It is still sweet (now mainly due to the musk), a little powdery and also a little creamy.

Sillage and durability:
The sillage is still mediocre at first, but then it becomes surprisingly stronger, even if it doesn't last that long. Nevertheless, the charisma is quite good on the whole, so I don't think you have to be close enough to smell the scent to someone. The durability is surprisingly long for a fig scent. Even if the sillage is quite weak later, I could still perceive the scent after more than ten hours at least at the sprayed place really well.

The flacon:
The bottle has a slightly apple-like, heart-shaped shape and is transparent. A small part of the upper part of the bottle is chrome-plated and goes to the spray head, finished with a transparent, small lid. The colourful label on the front shows the name of the fragrance and many stylized, beautiful prickly pears on a blue background.

Oh wow, I'm very excited about this fragrance. He might have smelled a little more unisex, but well... but he smells wonderful of figs, especially at the beginning, which also have a very authentic smell. Basically I am as enthusiastic about this fragrance here as Acqua di Parmas Fico di Amalfi, except that it has a more feminine ticking smell and is therefore especially recommendable for the ladies here! In any case, the fig scent is for me one of the most beautiful scents with this scent!

Fico d'India can be used in spring and summer, both for daily use and for going out, as the aura is surprisingly strong for a while and the fragrance therefore lasts quite long for a fresh, fruity fragrance.

And at the beginning it even reminds a little bit of fruit ice, which could make the scent bearer especially biteable... or more lickable (because of ice)? I'd rather stick to biteable... lickable sounds somehow so... disreputable... and all of you already think I'm a little nerdy freaky pig anyway... I don't want to underline this impression any more! *

Sweet, milky, powdery and slightly feminine although I couldn't find the titular fig amongst the peaches, mangoes and coconuts.

In the first minutes, we have figs with orange, mango and coconut milk. Then, we take the whole fig tree on our skin, greener but sweet.
