When spring rolls around, it’s hard not to crave the sweet, invigorating scent of ripe figs. For us, fig in perfumery is pure joy—especially when its leafy greenness is part of the equation. Enter Fico from Profumo di Firenze, a fragrance that captures all the magic we love about this note.
A Delicious Opening
The first spray of Fico is like stepping into an orchard where fig trees bask in the sun. While the brand emphasizes fig fruit, there’s a delightful blend of green notes that make it smell as though the leaves are steeped in fig jam. It’s fresh yet indulgent, and just when you think it can’t get better, a juicy burst of peach enters the mix. This fruity sweetness is both playful and mouthwatering, giving Fico a unique character.
Airy and Invigorating
As the fragrance transitions, it takes on a breezy, airy quality that feels perfect for warm weather. It’s refreshing yet sophisticated, with a subtle woodsy base that adds depth. While sandalwood isn’t listed among the notes, we swear there’s a creamy, comforting vibe that gives the drydown a soft elegance.
A Unique Trail
Spraying this scent into the air reveals something unexpected—it smells like luscious peach juice rather than fig! It’s an interesting twist that adds to its charm, making it feel dynamic and ever-changing.
“Whether you’re enjoying a sunny spring day or just want to bring a bit of its energy to your routine, Fico delivers.”
The Drydown
As Fico settles, a floral sweetness begins to emerge. The brand lists tuberose in the base, but to our noses, it’s more reminiscent of jasmine—a soft, white floral that’s sweet and gentle. It’s the perfect way to close the fragrance, leaving a tender, lasting impression.
Versatile and Long-Lasting
Fico is an ultra-unisex fragrance that works beautifully on anyone. Its longevity is impressive for a scent in this fresh category, lasting over six hours on our skin.
Final Thoughts
If you’re a fig lover—or simply enjoy fragrances with a fresh, fruity twist—Fico is one to try. From its vibrant opening to its creamy, floral drydown, it’s a true ode to springtime happiness.
