Which Should You Buy?
Premier Figuier is the OG fig, a truly divisive fragrance that kicks off with a sharp green punch. Some find it a photorealistic fig tree, others a plastic-y mess. It's beautiful and fleeting for some, annoyingly weak for others. You'll either adore its creamy, natural greenness or be underwhelmed by the coconut dry-down and poor performance.
A truly unique scent that defies easy categorisation. Yohji is a cult classic, beloved for its complex interplay of notes and its distinctive, almost magical, presence. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that has people desperately hunting for vintage bottles.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Given its subtle sillage and often-cited poor longevity, this scent is ideal for casual wear or an office environment where it won't overpower. Its fresh, green character makes it less suited for formal events, and while pleasant, it's not potent enough for a date night where you want to make a statement.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With its strong projection and exceptional longevity - often reported as over 12 hours - Yohji is a statement scent best suited for evenings and special occasions rather than the office. While versatile enough for casual wear, its unique character truly shines on dates and formal outings, where its boldness can be appreciated.
