In their words
“I’d recommend this to EVERYONE who likes Diptyque’s Figuier candles. It has a quite identical scents but in a bottle that you can wear. It’s a fresh, lively, and warm-summery fig leaf scents that is just so pleasant. It lasts almost all day. I don’t remember how many times I repurchased this perfume and for me personally this is MY smell.”

“I happened upon this when I was looking for a new fragrance. For years I wore Marc Jacobs Men but this was discontinued a few years ago. This is very similar, possibly even nicer. It's neither masculine nor feminine. My only comment would be that the scent doesn't linger for as long as I would hope so I may have to try the EDP next. Bit pricey, but there really isn't anything out there that I have”
