Fig Accord

  • Xavier Blaizot

    The Fig accord had been one of my very first step in the formulation world. I came across the "Premier Figuier" by Dyptique and I fell in love with this note. Over time I perfectionned my accord but in perfumery, the simmpler the better. For me the very basic of the accord is 
    1) Octalagone Gamma

    2) Stigemone (or stemone)

    3) Amberxan (or Ambroxan)

    I manage to have this green sharp note with this soft coconut smell and the ambery note of the Amberxan. Now that we are almost in summer, the fig strees start to smell and it brings me back to one my first perfumery love.
    People are always astonished when I mention that for me it is the leaf and not the fruit the most intersting. 

    How would you build on that accord?

    Gamma-nonalactone    100.00
    Coumarin  50.00
    Triplal  50.00
    Ethyl maltol -FW  50.00
    cis-3 Hexenol  50.00

    @Xavier Blaizot Hi,
    For a good fig accord, I would use:
    -gamma nonalactone
    -Stemone
    -Ambrox
    -cis-3 hexenol
    -cis-3 hexenyl acetate
    -Trace amounts of Florhydral
    -Trace amounts of Calone
    These materials will give you a very good green, dewy fig accord.

    Thank you for sharing your accords. I agree with you, it can be easy to add many elements. My accord was very basic and minamilistic. What I get from what you wrote is how you built on the green note. 
    It's summer right now and in Grasse you do get these hot breeze carrying the fig leaf note. I always find it very deep and ambery. 
    Recently I have been testing different mily/coconuty accords to blend with the green ambery. 
    Methyl laitone, Ethyl Lactate, Sulfurol are deffintely my go to.
    The creamy Jasmine note blends also perfecty with the "Jasmone" family.
