Moreton Bay Fig — an Australian fragrance by MetaScent
Moreton Bay Fig Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance by MetaScent, released in 2024.
The fragrance is part of the Botanic Collection and explores a natural theme through an expressive combination of juicy fig, citrus freshness, spicy nuances and gentle sweetness.
MetaScent is a niche brand from the Australian continent, founded in 2018.
Its signature is shaped by an interest in botanical motifs and unusual images from nature. Moreton Bay Fig continues this direction, transforming a familiar fruity accord into a rich, multilayered composition.
The character and development of the composition
The fragrance opens with a sparkling, energetic character: bergamot and lime create a clean citrus burst, while neroli adds an airy floral softness to the composition.
It then becomes denser and more intriguing — fig blends with cardamom, prune and ylang-ylang, giving the fruity theme a spicy, creamy and subtly exotic nuance.
On the skin, Moreton Bay Fig gradually settles into a warm base of tonka bean, vanilla and a woody accord.
The sweetness does not feel flat; it is balanced by dryish woody nuances and the spicy expressiveness of cardamom.
The result is a fragrance with a distinct contrast between a fresh opening, a juicy heart and a soft, enveloping trail.
Concentration and longevity
Moreton Bay Fig is presented as an eau de parfum.
Positioned as a unisex fragrance, it will appeal to those who enjoy noticeable fruity-floral compositions without a strict association with either a feminine or masculine wardrobe.
The fragrance is said to have a very strong sillage, so the composition can make a vivid impression and remain perceptible in the surrounding space.
When trying it for the first time, it is best to start with a small number of sprays, especially indoors, in warm weather or at a business event.
Specific recommendations for application to skin and clothing are not provided, so the optimal amount should be determined individually, taking into account the temperature, skin type and personal sensitivity to intense fragrances.
When to wear Moreton Bay Fig
Thanks to its citrus opening, the fragrance can feel fresh during the day, although its dense base and highly expressive sillage are especially striking in the evening.
Moreton Bay Fig is well suited to the cooler season, a festive occasion, a walk or an atmospheric gathering when you want to express your individuality.
On the skin, the fragrance may appeal to fans of vivid fruity and floral compositions with a gourmand finish.
Fig makes the scent distinctive and gently exotic, while vanilla, tonka bean and woody nuances add depth and comfort.

At the same time, Moreton Bay Fig retains its own character: instead of a dominant rose theme, it focuses on fig, citrus, dried fruit and a warm vanilla-woody base.
Information about the perfumer, other concentrations of the fragrance and the official website is not provided in the database.
This does not prevent Moreton Bay Fig from being appreciated as an independent MetaScent release — vivid, noticeable and created for those who enjoy discussing unusual interpretations of fruity notes.
