When it comes to the kinds of perfumes that I gravitate towards, I’m a creature of habit—comforting musks, warm vanilla, and the powdery sweetness of violet are the notes that emerge time and again in my favourite fragrances. Fruity perfumes (like the now iconic Sol de Janeiro mists)? They’re not really my bag. However, as the nights have drawn in and autumn has rolled around once more, I noticed that there’s one category of fragrance that I’ve been wearing on repeat: fig perfumes.
The one that I specifically can’t stop wearing right now is Phlur’s Father Figure—a lush, juicy, comforting fragrance with fig at its heart. I’m happy to admit when I’ve made a beauty mistake, and I’ve clearly been sleeping on fig perfumes for way too long.
