Which Should You Buy?
A beloved, much-missed Jo Malone classic, this fig scent leans green and woody rather than milky sweet. It's a natural, authentic fig that left many gutted by its discontinuation.
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.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, green, and slightly earthy profile, combined with typical Jo Malone light sillage and moderate longevity, makes it perfect for casual wear and the office. It's a bit too understated for formal events and not overtly romantic for dates, but its natural freshness suits daytime activities perfectly.
