Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Purple Fig

This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarising as hell. You'll either get juicy Mediterranean fig and summer vibes, or you'll be smelling actual pickles, public bathrooms, and even... well, let's just say it gets challenging for some. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Emerald Orchard

A budget read of Vilhelm Parfumerie's Purple Fig - that strikingly green fig-and-galbanum aromatic with its crushed-leaf elegance. Emerald Orchard keeps the figgy-green core and dry cypress-cedar base but, per PP wearers, pulls the florals back and pushes the woods forward, reading greener and a touch simpler than the chic niche original. A clever, affordable take on an unusual scent.

Best For:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile enough for day-to-day wear, though some find it too potent for enclosed office spaces. The green and fresh aspects lend themselves well to casual and even some sporty settings, but it's probably too unconventional for formal events.

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

Green fig, galbanum and dry woods feel crisp and leafy, sitting best in spring and summer with enough body to carry into autumn; the green freshness reads thin in deep winter.
