M.Micallef Sous Le Figuier is an Eau de Parfum, created by Jean-Claude Astier. Sous Le Figuier opens with Fruity Notes, Bergamot, Coriander, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Jasmine, Fig, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Musk. M.Micallef's Sous Le Figuier carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly divisive fig, this one. Some find it a fruity, luxurious masterpiece perfect for a sultry evening, while others are scrubbing it off, turned away by a sharp, almost sour opening. Definitely a try-before-you-buy situation.

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, but the rich, sensual character of fig and musk lends itself better to intimate settings and special occasions. While some might find it suitable for casual wear, its luxurious feel pushes it towards more dressed-up events.

About

Opens with a vibrant, almost tart burst of bergamot and juicy peach, intertwined with the fresh, slightly green nuance of fig leaf and a hint of piquant coriander. The heart blossoms into a rich, sweet fig, softened by delicate floral notes like jasmine and the deep, fruity tang of blackcurrant, with an underlying whisper of tea. It eventually settles into a smooth, sensual base of warm woods and soft musk, leaving a luxurious trail.
