L'Artisan Parfumeur Premier Figuier is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1994, created by Olivia Giacobetti. Premier Figuier opens with Fig Leaf and Asafoetida, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Almond, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Lime, Coconut, and Dried Fruits. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Premier Figuier carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

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
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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
