   Ohhh this one’s been on my hit list but haven’t got my hands on it yet. I love a fig scent, but I’m I find marine notes tricky on me. Looking forward to the update 🤗

      Update: Sadly, this is a return, god bless Notino, will probably swap it for a bottle of Loewe Earth Elixir. I respect the artistry behind the scent, and it does give Mediterranean sea side lounging… but it is not me or for me. I smell something similar to “stale air”, something stale in general, that I cannot pinpoint exactly, a similar but tamer vibe to ylang-ylang, which to me, smells like the outside, and I cannot move past that, unfortunately. Was really excited for it but ultimately once it was gone (which is like a good 5-6 hours on skin and then it’s a skin scent and I still get some whiffs of it, really good for a freshie) I reached for Lagerfeld Rome instead. So my search for the perfect fig continues. My current favorite is Fig fever by Hermetica, but even that is not what I am imagining 😅

      Thanks for this. I do like Ylang, I might like it lol. Do you know what type of fig you are looking for? A jammy one, a green one etc.. also.. do Notino do returns after you’ve opened a perfume? I didn’t know this? 😱

      I would love a green fig, a powdery fig, but mostly I would love a ripe juicy fig. Fig lemonade by French Cowboy is making me happy today! Yes, you can return opened perfumes to Notino and then you can also buy opened perfumes for a discounted price, often heavily discounted. I got some great deals there!
