    This fragrance is a masterpiece, and i will explain why. As a truck driver across the whole country, i have been to all over in every single state. This fragrance is literally in the air in a particular place in all of usa. during the crisp cool spring day and night between the months of April and May, this fragrance is in the air between the border of Texas and Oklahoma. When farmers start harvesting or plating after rainy and snow season between those two states. I have never smelled figment man in anywhere else. This fragrance brings memories of me driving through the border of those to states. When i tested this fragrance for the first time, I was reminded of that instantly. This fragrance is perfect to wear for me during the crisp, cool, and overcast weather in spring and autumn. The fragrance has damp soil feel in contrast to crisp, cool, rainy overcast day it is an amazing experience for me. When a fragrance has the capability to remind the wearer life experiences and the perfumer who crated the fragrance in my eyes is a master parfumer. I think Annick Menardo will be HOF perfumer when she retires. As always, it was an awesome review! Thank you, Ramsey.

      Ahhh man, what great timing…as I’ve been really lit up by animalics lately. Not sure if you’ve smelled any Arquiste fragrances, but I’d love to hear what you think of El. It gets compared to Kouros, but there are SO FEW reviews here. I think it’s fantastic.

    ☆Have this one as a sample. Got it early in my frag journey. I sprayed it and it took me to child-playtime. All the wet, musty, mildewy rotting leaf, wood shingles, and cat pissy stained cardboard detris, behind the storage shed in the backyard. Its bewildering that the gerainiums flanking the path infiltrating the rusty chain link fence, the scent of dry, astringent leaves amongst the vermillion red citrine odored-petals all present too! There was also a stone paver i would pull up and see shimmering slug trails, weird broken insect egg casings, and earwigs scurrying about. Thats the feeling it gives me. Very immersive and terrifyingly pleasing, in a compulsatory/nostagic way. Awesome creation, and a great breakdown by the Ram!!! Much luv an respects to you and the whole-of the Ram Frag Fam too♡♡♡ Hope your doin well my friend(s)☆

    This fragrance is artistic, it's mysterious and complex. Its not for compliment, its for ppl who loves art, who has character, who's crazy enough to express themself out of the crowd. The base note is a mates piece kind of incense vibe. Man its so complex, it was like I'm in Inception movie from Chris Nolan.

I deeply admire Annick M for her incredible body of work, but Figment is unnecessarily obtuse-it’s begging to be dialed back a notch in order to more properly ride the line between danger and, shall we say, ecstasy. (And I am not afraid of being challenged.) Myths remains, for me, the best Chong era ‘man’ Amouage. Memoir is second.

    I get a dandelion honey smell. The florals smell so much like dandelion, with that sweet lemon floral and tart bitter green.
    Now the sandalwood smells like the high end Australian stuff that is about all you can get anymore. It's earthy and rindy. Like an earthy zest similar to some cedar
    The animal accord I get is beaver (castoreum). I grew up around lots of beavers. They smell prissy, crappy, leathery, musky, even got some ferret smell going on. We put one in the trunk to take to the tanner. He would buy the carcass. It smelled forever. Got better and better. It's been awhile since I've been back to the creek and lakes back home.

      @RamseytheRam It's my pleasure, Ram. I knew you'd get around to it when you had the time. I love a lot of those types of fragrances with Civet and Castoreum in them. Thanks again for your thoughts, Ram, and have a great weekend, Brother........🍻🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾🫡
