For The Scent Of It Forbidden Fig
Forbidden Fig by For The Scent Of It is a 2022 eau de parfum created by an American brand that focuses on expressive, contemporary compositions.
The fragrance is presented as unisex and designed for those who enjoy fruity accords with a green, fresh and sensual character.
The name Forbidden Fig refers to the fig, a juicy, soft and at the same time slightly mysterious fruit.
In this composition, it does not come across as a sugary dessert: green nuances and a citrus spark make the scent more transparent, energetic and seductive.
That is why it is easy to imagine the fragrance on both women's and men's skin.
Character and Development
Forbidden Fig is built around a contrast between freshness and creamy fruitiness.
The composition opens with a bright, invigorating impression, then becomes softer, rounder and warmer, before leaving a clean musky impression in the drydown.
This development makes the fragrance noticeable without compromising its versatility.
Its character is that of a green fruity fragrance with a citrus accent and a musky base.
It is suitable for walks, meetings, travel and any occasion when you want to make an impression with a distinctive yet accessible scent.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, Forbidden Fig can be chosen not according to conventions, but according to your mood and the way the fig develops on your skin.
The sillage is described as very strong, so it is best to apply the fragrance with care.
No precise recommendations for applying it to skin or clothing are provided, but for a first introduction, it is sensible to start with a small amount and assess the intensity after a few minutes.
Temperature, skin type, fabric and the distance from which the fragrance is sprayed all affect the result.
The Perfumer and the Fragrance's Place in the Brand's Collection
Forbidden Fig was created by Michael Schrammel. His work here focuses on an expressive interplay between green leaves, juicy fruit, citrus freshness and a clean musky aftertaste.
The result is a fragrance with an easily recognizable fig theme, but without feeling one-dimensional.
Forbidden Fig is not tied to a specific collection, so it is perceived as an independent work by For The Scent Of It.
It will especially appeal to fans of fruity and green compositions who want a more pronounced sillage and a noticeable presence in the air.
