Jovoy Paris L’Arbre de la Connaissance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Marc Fanton d'Andon. L’Arbre de la Connaissance opens with Citrus and Green, settles into a heart of Fig, and dries down to a base of Fig Tree, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Jovoy Paris's L’Arbre de la Connaissance carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive fig fragrance that's either a verdant masterpiece or an instant scrubber. Those who love it adore its raw, green fig tree realism, while detractors find its opening too harsh or even chemical.

About

L'Arbre de la Connaissance bursts open with a potent, almost aggressive greenness, quickly joined by sharp citrus. This commanding introduction gives way to the heart of the fig tree - a rich, milky, and intensely leafy fig, a world away from sweet fig fruit. The drydown grounds this verdant journey with earthy patchouli and creamy sandalwood, creating a unique woody, green, and subtly sweet trail that embodies the entire fig plant, from root to leaf.
