Premier Figuier

by Olivia Giacobetti

L'Artisan Parfumeur Premier Figuier is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1994, created by Olivia Giacobetti. The fragrance opens with Fig Leaf and Asafoetida, settles into a heart of Almond, Fig, and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Coconut, Dried Fruits, and Lime.

Our verdict on Premier Figuier: Favourite

Premier Figuier is the OG fig, a truly divisive fragrance that kicks off with a sharp green punch. Some find it a photorealistic fig tree, others a plastic-y mess. It's beautiful and fleeting for some, annoyingly weak for others. You'll either adore its creamy, natural greenness or be underwhelmed by the coconut dry-down and poor performance.

Best Seasons

Best For:

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

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Sport

Given its subtle sillage and often-cited poor longevity, this scent is ideal for casual wear or an office environment where it won't overpower. Its fresh, green character makes it less suited for formal events, and while pleasant, it's not potent enough for a date night where you want to make a statement.

About

Step into a sun-drenched grove with Premier Figuier, where a vibrant, almost abrasive green fig leaf immediately commands attention. This isn't just the fruit, but the essence of the entire fig tree, with its milky sap and woody branches. As the initial sharpness mellows, a creamy coconut and sweet almond emerge, softened by a hint of sandalwood, creating a gentle lactonic warmth that whispers on the skin. Expect a delicate balance between verdant freshness and a subtle, comforting sweetness.
