Purple Fig
Purple Fig by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with sichuan pepper and angelica, moves into galbanum, fig and jasmine and dries down to vetiver and cashmere wood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
- Angelica Musky, herbal root. Earthy and a bit strange.
Heart
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
