Realistically green and delightfully fresh, Demeter Fig Leaf nails the earthy, lactonic essence of a fig tree, despite its famously fleeting nature. A true-to-life scent, just be ready to reapply often.

A budget take on Jo Malone's Wild Fig & Cassis, keeping the hyper-green, soapy-fig signature. The blackcurrant-cassis top note reads sharper and the fig-cedar heart flatter than the original's spa-like naturalism, trading some of Jo Malone's refined 'walking through a fig grove' effect for a simpler, more linear green-woody scent.
