Houbigant's figuier noir eau de parfum is a rich, fruit-wood blend inspired by the beginnings of the french summer with its blooming fig trees and their lingering, bitter and green aroma. Created by perfumer celine ellena, figuier noir was developed while she was sitting in the countryside in the shade of a black fig tree. Celine formulated a brief series of ingredients used to define men, creating the ultimate masculine fragrance: reassuring and elegant, yet contradictory in nature. A warm opening sees fig leaves interwoven with wood, cardamom, cloves and black pepper, fused with a fruity centre of black fig pulp showing that beyond the bitterness of the sap and roughness of the wood, is the heart of a man.
