Notes: fig leaf, black fig, fig wood

Comment: Fighisssimo is part of the Profumo e Gusto in Libertà Collection
Fighisssimo is based on the three olfactory properties of a fig tree - the leafy greenness, the ripe fruitiness and the petioled milkiness.

Its development is quite rapid – opening with a citrus-infused verdant aroma, quickly followed by a succulent fig accord, and then winding down with a quiet milky and woody fig aspect. As all three stages overlap each other, it's pretty compelling to observe and smells remarkably natural.

Unfortunately, it's largely over within a matter of minutes, leaving only gentle creamy fig wood traces with a faint fig sappiness. One also discerns a notable vanillic accent during the latter stages of the drydown.

It's such a pity as, if it was more potent and tenacious, one would have deemed it as the best fig fragrance one has encountered so far.
