L'Artisan Parfumeur Caligna is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Dora Baghriche. Caligna opens with Petitgrain, Rose, Fig, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Mastic, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Oak, Pine, and Ambroxan. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Caligna carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This green, aromatic fig is divisive but captivating. Some find it a natural, fresh delight that transports them to sun-drenched Mediterranean days, while others are left cold by its earthy, unsweetened character and poor performance. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, subtle projection and generally light character make it suitable for office and casual wear, especially in warmer weather. The lack of strong sillage prevents it from being a good choice for dates or formal events where more presence might be desired.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Caligna opens with a vibrant, leafy fig, underpinned by the herbaceous dryness of clary sage and a delicate hint of rose. As it settles, violet adds a subtle floral lift alongside a unique mastic resin, leading to a woody-pine base with a modern, fresh ambroxan finish. It evokes a natural, sun-dappled landscape rather than a fruity cocktail.
