Shay & Blue London Dandelion Fig is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Julie Massé. Dandelion Fig opens with Lemongrass and Dandelion, settles into a heart of Tomato Leaf and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Fig Leaf. Shay & Blue London's Dandelion Fig carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Skip this if you're after a fruity fig, but if you fancy smelling like a gourmet salad or a sun-baked greenhouse, then Dandelion Fig is your eccentric, green dream. It's a bit of an oddball, divisive too, but those who 'get it' absolutely love its unique, vegetal charm.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Given its fresh, green, and often unique vegetal character, Dandelion Fig works well for casual daytime wear or even office use where a subtle scent is preferred. While some find it energising for sport, its 'oddball' nature makes it less suitable for formal events or romantic dates where a more universally appealing or sophisticated scent might be desired.

About

Dandelion Fig opens with a punchy, almost acidic burst of lemongrass and the bitter, earthy tang of dandelion. This quickly evolves into the verdant heart of a summer garden, with the distinctly green, slightly sweet aroma of tomato leaf balanced by the fresh, aromatic spice of juniper. The base settles into a softer, leafy greenness, hinting at fig leaf rather than the fruit itself, creating an impressively realistic botanical experience throughout.
