The world first encountered Figue Interdite by DSH Perfumes in 2018. A unisex fragrance belonging to the wood, fruit, and aromatic families. Perfumer Dawn Spencer Hurwitz left a distinct mark on this composition. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Behind this fragrance stands the United States and its rich perfumery heritage. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Figue Interdite unfolds as a layered story, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The style of DSH Perfumes is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
When the structure is mixed the notes arrive together with a multi-layered petal mood: Ambrette, Apricot, Bergamot, Black currant leaf, Costus, Fir Resin and Galbanum.
The inner phases are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Citrus and Floral with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Fruit, Wood, Powdery and Amber add depth to the backdrop.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Green, Fruit, Citrus and Floral. The framework further includes Balsamic, Whiteflower, Earthy / Mossy and Wood.
Taken together Figue Interdite reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
