& Other Stories Fig Fiction is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014, created by Jérôme Epinette. Fig Fiction opens with Lemon, Pink Pepper, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Violet, Fig, and Bamboo, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Rosewood, and Plum. & Other Stories's Fig Fiction carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Fig Fiction is a green, fruity unisex scent where fig and bamboo sit between sharp lemon and blackcurrant and a dry woody base. It is crisp and a step away from the usual sweet fig. Easy to wear for anyone who likes their fruit with some bite.

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.

About

Fig Fiction, composed by Jérôme Epinette, opens with lemon, blackcurrant and pink pepper for a sharp, tangy start. The heart brings fig, bamboo and violet, which gives a green, slightly leafy fruitiness. The base of rosewood, plum and vetiver adds a dry woody backbone and a touch of dark fruit. This eau de toilette is a fresh, green fig scent that suits all genders.
