Essential Parfums Fig Infusion EDP

Description

Fig Infusion is Nathalie Lorson's sunny, south-of-France take on fig, opening with fig and citrus over a floral freesia heart before settling into a warm, cocooning blend of black tea, cedarwood, sandalwood, and benzoin. Launched in 2022, reviewers describe it as fresh with a "reliable base", not the loudest performer, but versatile across seasons.
