Creation Mathias L’eau de Figue
Thursday, October 6th, 2005You can smell the crunch of autumn leaves in L’eau de Figue right from the get-go. Smokey dry leaves are scattered all across this fragrance. Fused into the core are wine-stewed figs and a decidedly strong green rind note. All these parts are sewn together into a whole that is seamless and well-made. That surprised me, because the only other Mathias scent I tried, the Tuberose, was forgettable. (I say forgettable because I’ve tried it four different times, and still couldn’t tell you a thing about it.) L’eau de Figue is a worthwhile fragrance to seek out if you are a fig lover. Maybe even if you’re not a fig lover, for that matter - it’s quite interesting. I bet this would make a great room fragrance. It lasts on my skin for about four hours before I feel like I need to refresh it some.
