Tom Ford introduces Figue Érotique, a perfume that explores the tension between freshness and ripeness through an intensely sensual fig experience.
Tom Ford launches Figue Érotique, a new fragrance that offers a sensual reading of desire through an ingredient as evocative as it is unexpected: fig. Defined as “the exact moment before the fig bursts,” this olfactory creation explores the duality between green freshness and mature depth, between vibrant energy and indulgent richness, resulting in an enveloping and memorable composition.
The fragrance is crafted by perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu, who works with the exclusive Kadota fig accord, prized for its floral opulence and subtly saline facet. The scent opens with stimulating luminosity: fig leaves, vibrant citrus notes such as bergamot and mandarin, and spicy pink peppercorns that awaken the senses with a provocative spark.
At the heart of Figue Érotique, the Kadota fig reveals its fullest olfactory expression, intertwining green and fruity nuances that evoke the juicy texture and richness of the fruit just before peak ripeness. This central phase evolves into the depth of a Muscovado accord, whose dark sweetness and liquorice-like nuances introduce an indulgent sensuality, transforming the fragrance into an experience rich in character.
The base rests on a trio of warm, earthy notes — vetiver, patchouli and benzoin — adding robust, lasting depth. This foundation creates an elegant contrast with the fresher opening, achieving a balance that enhances the perfume’s emotional complexity: stimulating, rich and deeply sensorial.
The bottle echoes the richness of a ripe fig, with a deep, jewel-toned violet design that mirrors the fragrance’s resinous character. Available in 50 ml and 100 ml formats (RRP: 50 ml — €355; 100 ml — €476), the flacon becomes a statement object for any contemporary dressing table.
Figue Érotique is not simply a fig-based perfume; it is an invitation to explore desire at its peak, where green facets merge with opulence and sensuality is expressed with elegance and sophistication.
