Crushed Fig Leaf: a scent-memory by CB I Hate Perfume
Imagine: you pluck a juicy fig leaf from a tree, rub it between your fingers, and inhale its tart, green, slightly milky aroma.
It is this very moment that Christopher Brosius captured in his composition CB I Hate Perfume Crushed Fig Leaf #374.
This is not just a perfume—it is an olfactory snapshot, a piece of nature enclosed in a bottle.
A manifesto against the ordinary: CB I Hate Perfume
CB I Hate Perfume is a brand that has challenged the fragrance industry since its founding in 2000.
Its founder, Christopher Brosius, proclaimed a manifesto against synthetic banality and clichés.
Each fragrance here is like a small work of art, often monochromatic or linear, focused on one vivid impression.
Crushed Fig Leaf #374 is the perfect embodiment of this philosophy.
A green symphony: notes and development
The composition is built on the contrast of two seemingly simple yet incredibly deep notes. At its core is crisp, juicy fig leaf.
It does not smell like sweet fruit, but rather like greenery—slightly bitter, verdant, with a subtle woody nuance. This accord is enveloped by the second key note: damp wood.
It adds depth, moisture, and the feeling of a cool forest after rain. Together, they create a strikingly realistic and meditative fragrance.
Character and wear: who it is for and how to wear it
This unisex fragrance from the Green and Fougère families has a very strong sillage. It is available in eau de parfum concentration, ensuring lasting power and richness.
It is best worn during the warmer months—spring and summer—when you crave freshness and a sense of connection with nature. It is ideal for daytime outings, walks in the park, or meditation.
Do not be afraid of its intensity: a couple of sprays will create a green cloud around you that is sure to draw compliments.
A signature style: Christopher Brosius
Christopher Brosius is known for his love of minimalism and natural ingredients. His fragrances are not complex constructions, but pure emotions.
Crushed Fig Leaf #374 is a vivid example of his approach: just two notes, yet they sound like a complete symphony. Brosius seems to say, “I do not need a hundred ingredients to tell a story.”
