Caligna
Eau de Parfum, L'Artisan Parfumeur (2013)

This is L'Artisan's Second Figuier.

A very different fig, it's sharp to the point of spiky; which goes to show how the times had changed since the first one, and how the maison had moved away from niche experiments and closer to the mainstream.

Caligna means 'flirt' in Provençal, something Tommy Girl might have said - had she lived among fig trees and not shopping malls.

A green fruit, a bit too warm. I find it cloying. Very similar to the green DKNY. Fig is ok, then jasmine marmelade... really?

Creamy fig.
Pine woody scent.
That's all I smell.
Wish there was more.
Still, it is a nice figgy offering.

It's nice in the summer, figgy, doesn't last long and does not project at all. I enjoyed using my sample, but would not purchase.

I love fig notes, leaf and fruit, but this combines with pine needles that keeps reminding me of pickles. Dry-down to pickles and fig.

Smells like a 90% match to Millesime Imperial on first spray. After drying, it is more figgy.
