Ortigia Sicilia Fico D'India is an Eau de Parfum. Fico D'India opens with Cactus and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Fig, and dries down to a base of Cedar. Ortigia Sicilia's Fico D'India carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This Sicilian gem is a divisive fig-fest: some find it a masterful, unique take on green Mediterranean fig, perfect for hot days. Others, however, dismiss it as cheap, synthetic, and sickly sweet, or even cloying with a 'mothball' cedar note. It's truly a love it or hate it affair.

About

Fico D'India opens with a sparkling, green burst of fig leaf and raw cactus sap, reminiscent of snapping fresh plant stems. As it settles, a delicate, almost dusty sweetness emerges from the fig itself, enhanced by the subtle floral lift of orange blossom. The dry down is a clean, slightly woody affair with cedar, leaving a sophisticated green freshness that isn't overtly sweet or 'fruity'.
