How it develops
Fig leaf and cassis open with a cool green snap, joined by sage and basil that give the first minutes an herbal, almost windswept edge. Hedione and fig wood then soften the transition, letting airy floral tones and rose hover above the greenery rather than turning overtly sweet. The drydown moves into cedar and sandalwood, warmed by tonka and vanilla. Those creamy notes round the woods while preserving the fragrance's dry, enigmatic contour.

How others read it
Praise
Praised for unique fig-green woody identity. Seen as elegant, sexy and mature without following blue-fragrance trends. Alexandria page frames it as versatile and compliment-worthy.Criticism
Vintage 1990s styling may read dated. Green fig/herbal tone is not mass-appeal for everyone. Official Dior page uses simplified notes, making full pyramid verification dependent on Fragrantica/community databases.Comparison notes
Evaluate as a green woody aromatic EDT profile with fig, herbs, airy floral hedione and tonka/vanilla woods, not as an aquatic-blue Dior masculine.Discovery
