Purple Fig

by Jérôme Epinette

Vilhelm Parfumerie Purple Fig is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jérôme Epinette. Purple Fig opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Angelica, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Fig, Galbanum, and Cyclamen, and dries down to a base of Cypress and Cedar. Vilhelm Parfumerie's Purple Fig carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarising as hell. You'll either get juicy Mediterranean fig and summer vibes, or you'll be smelling actual pickles, public bathrooms, and even... well, let's just say it gets challenging for some. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile enough for day-to-day wear, though some find it too potent for enclosed office spaces. The green and fresh aspects lend themselves well to casual and even some sporty settings, but it's probably too unconventional for formal events.

About

Purple Fig opens with a punch of sparkling lemon and a green-spicy hit from redcurrant leaf and angelica. The heart quickly blooms with a fresh, slightly bitter fig note, supported by the green, resinous depth of galbanum and the clean floral touch of cyclamen. It settles into a woody base of cypress and cedar, giving it an earthy, aromatic dry-down that manages to be both fresh and grounded.
