  Fig leaf bomb, this is a fig festival. Since fig and especially the leaf are among my favorite notes, and having smelled fig interpretations in all kinds of niche perfumes, here I found the one that is for me, my favorite. The opening is very potent; from the very first moment, it plants a fig tree in your nose, in its green facet at first, before turning to the fruity side. As it develops, it takes on a more fruity side, more towards the fig than the leaf, without turning to the milky side typical of perfumes that use this note. Here there is more than just fig; there is a background incense that accompanies the composition until the end, soft and delicate, giving weight and seriousness to the green side. I don’t notice the oud anywhere; here it is present as a foundation. 195 AC offers an evolution from green to fruity with a sublime incense base, perfectly blended and with quality befitting this price range. The presentation is unique, beautiful, archaic, and surprising. A robust wooden box sealed the old-fashioned way with wax and seal, an artisan stopper with weight and hand-painted. The longevity is excellent and the projection is very notable for the first two hours. I highly recommend it to fig lovers. Note: the silver bottles have higher concentration and are the current ones; surprisingly, Agatho has reformulated for the better. 9.5/10

  This is a beast of a perfume. The fig theme is worked on like no other. It has a pungent green vibe, ‘shrill’ just enough, very lively, vibrant, and full of energy. The general tone is herbal, fruity, and woody. The English would say it has ‘Buzziness’… but of natural notes that jump out at your nose, especially in the opening. Once it dries down, it settles a bit and becomes more at the mercy of the wind. At this point, it still smells green, but less lively or citrusy, and some bitter notes take the spotlight, giving it incredible class. If it has oud, it’s a very Westernized one; if it weren’t declared, I’d think it was leather. For the first 3 or 4 hours, it projects massively in all directions; if you over-apply, you can get fatigued. After that, you can last another 4 or 5 hours where every time you move, you get noticed again. If someone walks near you or you’re loitering, they’ll smell you. On two occasions I wore it to work, and it lasted 24 hours on my shirt. The price isn’t for it to contribute less than this, but there are also brands that charge the same and contribute much less. For how well it performs, how striking it is, and how distinct, for me it offers the value of the price and I don’t consider it ‘excessively’ expensive.

  This is a beast of a perfume. The fig theme is executed better than anywhere else. It has a pungent, ‘striking’ green vibe—just right, very alive, vibrant, and full of energy. The overall character is herbal, fruity, and woody. The English would say it has ‘Buzziness’… but from natural notes that jump out at your nose, especially in the opening. As it dries down, it settles a bit and becomes more dependent on the breeze. At this stage, it still smells green, but less alive or citrusy, taking on some bitter notes that give it incredible class. If it contains oud, it’s very Westernized; if it weren’t listed, I’d think it’s leather. The first 3 or 4 hours, it projects massively in all directions; if you overapply, it can become overwhelming. After that, you can last another 4 or 5 hours where every time you move, it becomes noticeable again. If someone walks near you or you’re hanging around, they’ll smell it. On two occasions I wore it to work, and it lasted 24 hours on my shirt. The price isn’t for it to deliver less than this, but there are brands charging the same that deliver much less. Given how well it performs, how striking it is, and how distinct, for me, it offers the value of its price and isn’t ‘excessively’ expensive.

  This fragrance has a phenomenal opening and a spectacular development; however, when it dries down to its base, the patchouli and bergamot become too prominent, and I don’t like this combination. For those who enjoy it, it might become your signature scent thanks to its longevity and potency. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work for me.

  This fragrance has a phenomenal opening and a spectacular development; however, when it reaches the dry down and hits its base, the patchouli and bergamot stand out too much; I don’t like this combination. For those who like it, it might become their signature due to its longevity and potency. Unfortunately, I just didn’t like it.

  Fig to the max. It’s the fig, the leaves, the branches, the whole fig tree… wow! And in the background, that clean oud mixed with cedar. An aroma that puts you in a good mood, elegant, and conquering. One of my favorites. Sillage and longevity are muuuuch good. Versatile for almost any weather and occasion. I think it shouldn’t be missing from your collection.

  A fig leaf masterpiece, but with a negative nuance that makes me consider other options in this style. The fig leaf is green and concentrated, but here it feels a bit drier than in other alternatives. A sharp, stinging citrus note mixed with spices emerges… As they say, the drydown turns slightly bitter, and here the styrax appears. In other scents, it drives me crazy, but here, being less prominent, it doesn’t kill me… yet it still conditions my experience. I generally like the aroma, but the styrax bothers me. It performs very well and works better than not for cold days; you can wear it year-round. I don’t see it as formal, and I can’t picture myself wearing this to a wedding.

  What an incredible opening! Fresh and citrusy, the bergamot and fig leaf are absolutely dominant—intense yet fresh all at once. It’s a nod to the year they repealed the Lex Oppia, the law that limited women’s wealth. ⏱️At 16 minutes, it smells of bergamot, lemon, fig, and a spicy hint of cardamom. It’s a sensory awakening and a celebration of life’s luxuries. In the Pompeian garden, it blooms again with the triumph of divine beauty. A reclaimed freedom that deserves to be treated like a gem. ⏱️At 1h:16, incense, leather, black tea, and woods emerge; I love it. ⏱️At 2 hours, the oud takes charge, overpowering the woods and incense, though the bergamot lingers subtly in the background. ⏱️By 3 hours, the oud becomes very intense. ⏱️At 4h:23, it softens, blending wood with patchouli for an earthy touch. ⏱️At 6 hours, it smells of sweet wood. ⏱️At 20h:33, it fades from my skin. 💨 Projection and sillage are through the roof.
