Fig Extasy

Fig Extasy by Mancera is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with fig, incense, ginger and black pepper, moves into fig leaf, mysore sandalwood, leather, cedarwood, lavender and thyme and dries down to vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin and styrax. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.

Heart

Fig Leaf Milky, green and slightly coconut-like. The smell of shade.
Mysore Sandalwood The legendary Indian sandalwood. Richer and butterier than any substitute.
Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Thyme Dry, sharp kitchen herb. Bracing and slightly antiseptic.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
