Inspired by the wondrous illustration ‘Homme Figuier’ by Dali, Fig Man takes the classic earthy tones of Fig, recreating tyhem into a fanciful aroma that is a completely original take on Fig. Fresh, imaginative, aromatic and uplifting, Fig Man at it’s heart tells the story of the fig tree leaves. Fig Man then seamlessly weave its way through bright notes of Italian Bergamot and Violet while spicy, grounding notes of Cardamon, Tonka Bean and Sandalwood add a fantasical embellishment to its core.

HOW IT WEARS
Like a dive into marine waters, Fig Man captures a fresh burst on every breath. As you smell, as if emerging from the depths of the water, the scent of Guaiacwood and Patchouli meet you, before settling of a lone fig tree. The sweetness gentle rather than overwhelming. As an Eau de Parfum you should get 6- 8 hours wear.
LORE LOVES
We love this innovative take on a fig scent. Fig Man is fresh, fruity and woody. It’s almost like smelling ripe figs under the tree, still damp with the morning’s dew.

Gayle (aka Granny) –
My favourite Carner Barcelona so far is “Latin Lover”. I went through one bottle like the Southern Aurora. “Fig Man” on my skin is just as lovely but of course the notes are different. I’m really drawn to this one because I’ve spritzed it this morning and can smell the sweet, cool dry down, so sillage is good for me. I’ve let a few hours go by so I could give this a fair comment. Strange to see it this way I know, but to me, I would say that to those around you, you would just smell like a very clean woman. Definitely a mature scent which is perfect for me as I’m beyond mature! Good for any season, any occasion. I love the lingering Patchouli/Tonka Bean/Woody blend.
