The Body Shop Italian Summer Fig is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Italian Summer Fig opens with Wine Grape, Green Notes, and Fig, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Rose, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Oak and Amber. The Body Shop's Italian Summer Fig carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A beloved cult-classic fig from The Body Shop, this gem is a solid dupe for pricier niche options. Its fresh, green character and natural charm are adored, though its fleeting longevity is the main gripe. Grab it if you can find it, but prepare to reapply.

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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its low sillage and poor longevity make it perfect for office wear or casual daytime use, where you want a pleasant but non-intrusive scent. It's too subtle for formal events and only moderately suitable for dates given its ethereal presence.

About

Italian Summer Fig bursts open with a natural, juicy fig, underpinned by a vibrant, slightly bitter greenness and a subtle wine grape nuance. This fresh, earthy opening gracefully gives way to a soft hint of rose and other florals, with a whisper of saffron adding a delicate spice. The dry down settles into a creamy, warm oak and amber base, providing a gentle woody depth that balances the initial verdant burst.
