Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Fig Tea is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2007, created by Patricia de Nicolaï. Fig Tea opens with Orange and Osmanthus, settles into a heart of Davana, Jasmine, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Mate, Amber, and Guaiac Wood. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Fig Tea carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a cheeky misnomer - don't expect actual fig, but do expect a beautiful, juicy, crisp osmanthus and tea blend. It's a fresh, uplifting charmer, though many found its performance a bit too fleeting for the price.

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.

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile with moderate-to-low sillage makes it ideal for office wear and casual daytime outings. However, the lighter performance and fresh accords mean it won't stand out for formal evening events.

About

Fig Tea opens with a bright, zesty burst of orange, quickly joined by the apricot-like sweetness of osmanthus. This fruity-floral heart, infused with a sophisticated mate tea and a subtle hint of coriander, evokes a refreshing, almost watercolour-like clarity. The drydown settles into a soft, airy blend of guaiac wood and amber, offering a subtle warmth that complements its initial luminosity without ever losing its fresh appeal.
