Demeter Fragrance Library Fig Leaf is a Cologne launched in 1996. Fig Leaf opens with Fig Leaf, and settles into a heart of Fig. It lasts about 2 to 4 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in spring and summer. Demeter Fragrance Library's Fig Leaf carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Crisp green fig leaf over creamy, milky fig flesh. A true-to-life fig tree in a bottle: fresh, earthy and quiet, with short staying power, so reapply when it fades.

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Picture a sun-drenched fig grove. Fig Leaf opens with a burst of crisp green leaf, bright and almost zingy, before turning to the creamy, milky sweetness of ripe fig. A subtle woodiness grounds the fruit, for an aroma that balances earthy and sweet, clean and natural, like the air after summer rain. It is a gentle scent with short staying power.
