Lubin Figaro is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Thomas Fontaine. Figaro opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pine, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Red Apple, Clover, Coriander, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, and Styrax. Lubin's Figaro carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Figaro is a divisive blend that some adore for its unique, oily fig and woody warmth, while others find it a synthetic scrubber. It's an acquired taste; expect a journey from sharp fruit to an earthy, aromatic dry-down or a cleaning product vibe, depending on your skin.

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
Also Works:
Fall

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile, leaning away from casual due to its sophisticated character. The warm, slightly sweet and woody profile suits evening dates well, while it might be too distinct for a formal, professional office setting.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Figaro opens with a bright, sharp burst of bergamot and grapefruit, quickly followed by a bracing pine note and a hint of pink pepper. The heart unfurls with a cocktail of red apple, luscious plum, and a surprising fig, all subtly spiced with coriander and clover. The dry-down settles into a rich, woody base of vetiver, creamy sandalwood, and warm tonka bean, underscored by a balsamic styrax that lends an intriguing, almost oily earthiness.
