These fig perfumes are giving us serious 'south of France in autumn' vibes

A selection of fig perfumes by Le Labo, Diptyque, Jo Loves and Jo Malone/ in a beige and grey sunset-style template.

If you typically avoid fruity fragrances in favour of cosier blends, fig perfumes may offer the perfect middle ground thanks to their distinctive creaminess and subtle sweetness...

While we're used to seeing classic notes like rose and mandarin in the best long-lasting perfumes, several unique (and undiscovered for some) notes are gaining acclaim. Fig is one such scent to inspire its very own sub-category of fragrance - like that of pistachio and honey perfumes. Not to be confused with a traditional fruity perfume, fig is instantly recognisable for its green freshness and the sweet, creamy quality it affords. It's nuanced and nostalgic and touted as a go-to for anyone partial to cosy perfumes or sparkling summer scents.
