The Character and History of the Fragrance
1973 Figue Sur Mer is a unisex perfume in an extrait concentration, released in 2023 by the Italian brand 1973.
The fragrance belongs to the Black Collection and combines the freshness of sea air with green, floral, woody and mossy nuances.
It is a composition for those who enjoy expressive fragrances with a distinctive character and beautiful development on the skin.
The name Figue Sur Mer evokes figs by the sea, but here the fruit does not smell like a rich, sweet dessert. Instead, it appears as a green, cool and slightly tart accord.
Fig leaf creates the impression of a sunlit coast where salty wind, citrus zest and damp vegetation meet.
Thanks to its fougere and floral character, the fragrance feels fresh, elegant and composed at the same time.
Olfactive Pyramid and Development
The top notes of 1973 Figue Sur Mer open energetically: lemon and pink grapefruit add a sparkling citrus bitterness, while blackcurrant leaf, fig leaf and rhubarb intensify the green, slightly sour character.
The opening is invigorating and transparent, evoking a cool morning and juicy stems crushed between the fingers.
In the heart, a marine accord emphasizes the freshness and lends the composition an airy saltiness.
Jasmine, lily of the valley and magnolia soften the green framework, adding clean floral volume without excessive powderiness or sweetness.
As it develops, Figue Sur Mer becomes rounder while retaining a sense of space and moving air.
The base is built around amber, cedar, oakmoss and musk. These notes make the fragrance deeper, warmer and longer-lasting, leaving a distinctive woody-mossy trail on the skin.
The contrast between the cool opening and the rich finish is especially noticeable in the extrait concentration.
Wearability and Sillage
1973 Figue Sur Mer is presented as a unisex fragrance, so it may develop differently depending on skin temperature and individual perception.
On some skin, green fig and rhubarb will be more prominent; on others, the marine accord, florals or dry woody base may stand out.
Overall, it is a stylish choice for those who prefer freshness with depth rather than light, watery fragrances.
The composition has very strong sillage: the fragrance is noticeable in the air and can linger in the memory long after application.
The available information does not specify the recommended amount for skin and clothing, so it is best to determine the ideal dosage gradually, starting with a minimum number of sprays.
In an office or small room, it is especially important to consider the intensity of the extrait, whereas outdoors its layered development feels more open.
In terms of mood, Figue Sur Mer is particularly well suited to spring, summer and early autumn, when its green and marine nuances feel most natural.
It can be chosen for a walk by the water, a trip, a daytime meeting or an evening outing when you want to leave a noticeable yet unconventional fragrance accent.
Compared with familiar citrus and aquatic compositions, this release stands out through its combination of fig-like greenery, moss and a rich base.
The Perfumer and the Brand's Style
The composition was created by Rosario Cerullo.
In his work, fresh citrus and green notes do not remain a simple introduction: they gradually transition into a floral-marine heart and a dense woody-ambery finish.
This structure emphasizes the character of the 1973 brand, which creates unisex fragrances in rich perfume and extrait concentrations.
Similar Fragrances
For comparison, consider Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, Chloé L'Eau de Chloé and Escada Escada (2005).
They may also appeal to fans of fresh, green and citrus compositions, although Figue Sur Mer smells more intense and complex thanks to its very strong sillage, marine accord, oakmoss and amber.
