I love this fragrance! It’s super sweet yet somehow very masculine. Lots of fig. This literally smells just like fresh figs. So much so it should have been called figgy mcfiggingtion.
I bought this cuz I smelled it on a man and I love it. I bought it for myself cuz I like the masculine, amber smell and yes I am a female but I Layered it with my sugary too sweet perfume. Love this for layering.
I find that this fragrance can be worn by both genders actually. I recently smelled it and I think its not just for the men nowadays. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
One question, are the letters on the top silver part “engraved” that is, do they have interior relief or are they flat letters in black ink? I just received the fragrance on Amazon but I think it's fake
Own this one. Nice cheapie fig frag. But prefer Acqua Di Parma Fico D'Amalfi and Hermés Un Jardin sur le Mediterrané for fig frags to be honest. Cheers Claus
Bought it today as a blind buy at Ross for $25.00 in a 3.4oz(100ml) bottle. Is nice, clean, and fresh. A bit different and since I wear dress shirts and ties to work, I guess it fits right in.
sdnalyam I'll see what I can do but I don't have a lot of cheapy but goody fragrances in my collection. I have maybe 3 but if I do one then it most of the frags I will just have to name them without showing the bottle.
it's not that great. very synthetic frag that gives me a headache. the overwhelming scent I get with this is pepper. very spicy. spicy and peppery more than anything else by far. you don't get much else with this imho. all the other notes don't come out much. it's like a cheap, peppery scent that smells much older than most would prefer. if you're under 40 this is probably not the cologne for you at all. think an older gentlemen who has poor taste in cologne at the office. he thinks it's the best cologne he's ever smelled and makes him smell dashing, elegant, sophistaceted, and mature. when in reality he just smells kind of peppery and synthetic. ok I'll give this a little credit, at first spray it's definitely unique. the spicy pepper comes out right away and it tries to be super elegant, but five minutes in and you already have a headache. this stuff takes a good 30 minutes to settle, and then it's.......alright. like it's ok for about 30 minutes after the dry down. you smell kinda good. but then it fades fast as fuck. the lingering scent on your clothes smells ok. but it's nothing to write home about. again, synthetic pepper that is trying very hard to be elegant, but comes across as cheap and barely above something you'd buy at Target. I liked this stuff for awhile before I bought other cologne and realized how good cologne is supposed to smell. it tries really hard to be unique, and it has tremendous potential, but in the end the synthetic tonic smell and the subsequent lingering headache isn't worth it imo. I'll probably wear this once in a blue moon after my cologne collection stocks up and gets more bulky. not the best. buy something else
This is absolutely gorgeous. I use this as work scent during spring and pleasant fall days. Very elegant.
venkatraman raguraman Its a great fragrance indeed. Thank you for stopping by.

This is a great fragrance. It is one of the best of my expensive collection. Awesome for this price
I would agree. This actually made a video that I filmed today. Its a very underrated scent for sure.
I just bought the our homme black smells good

I like this one. Definitely spring and summer.
Just got mine it definitely a warming up smell
This frag is awesome... This should be a hype beast

Good review Chad. I bought this one at TK Maxx a few weeks ago. I like it.
Is Ferrari Noble Fig an alternative to this one? Thanks
I'd say that the Ferragamo is more gentlemanly than the Noble Fig if that makes any sense.
Yes it does!
It doesn't smell dated at all though
Great review as always Chad.
Nice one man!!
Great review!
Thank you kindly.
Sounds good !
Sounds like a good cheapy but goody, nice one! I do enjoy fig in a fragrance.
Cool review, Chad. - one of my first blind buys. - ended up getting a backup bottle. Thanks for sharing your take on this.

That Fico D'Amalfi is a beautiful fragrance indeed.

This is a PERFECT scent for that sort of wardrobe. Its a gentleman's scent.
How does this stack up against Z Zegna Milan?
This is more floral and and figs while Milan is more figs and green.
Could you do a cheapy but goody episode, thanks
sdnalyam I'll see what I can do but I don't have a lot of cheapy but goody fragrances in my collection. I have maybe 3 but if I do one then it most of the frags I will just have to name them without showing the bottle.
I think this is a well crafted fragrance unfortunately the florals in it was a bit too much for me. I think I would rather smell it on a female.
Smells like raid spray
LOL that made me chuckle.
I'm not a fig fan so I'l leave this one alone....
