Origin

Fig leaf absolute is typically obtained from the leaves of the Ficus carica tree, native to the Mediterranean region. Extraction is most often performed using solvent extraction to capture the delicate, volatile green and milky facets present in the raw leaves.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use fig leaf primarily in the heart or top of compositions to impart a lush, verdant quality and a creamy, tropical nuance. It blends well with citrus, woods, and floral notes, and is often featured in green, woody, or Mediterranean-inspired fragrances.
