Fico D'India

Ortigia Sicilia Fico D'India is an Eau de Parfum. Fico D'India settles into a heart of Fig, Cactus, Fig Leaf, and 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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, green, and subtle nature makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, as it's unlikely to offend. The lack of strong projection keeps it from being ideal for formal events or a special date night, though many enjoy it for discreet summer evenings.

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'.
