Launched in 2015, Figuier Ardent by Atelier Cologne is an aromatic spicy fragrance created by Ralf Schwieger. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of bergamot and fig leaf, creating a fresh yet lush atmosphere. As the scent develops, cardamom and black pepper add warmth and complexity, while the heart of fig brings a touch of sweetness. Cedar, iris, and tonka bean round out the base, grounding the fragrance in earthy richness. The result is a dynamic balance between freshness and spiciness that evokes the essence of a vibrant, sunlit garden.

Ralf Schwieger
Founding perfumer · 32 fragrances
Ralf Schwieger once took part in a perfume contest that Frédéric Malle had staged for young perfumers. Frédéric sampled their perfumes one by one, blindfolded, until he reached Ralph’s sketch of what was to become Lipstick Rose, and Ralf was chosen to join Editions de Parfums. Having spent his childhood in Germany exploring forests and absorbing all of their unusual smells, Ralf is prone to creating perfumes with unexpected personalities. He describes his attitude to perfume making as a game in two parts, whose first is intellectual or conceptual, and whose second is a lengthier one of sensory research. His perfumes, as a result, are both cerebral and intuitive.
