Figuier Noir

The quiet intensity of an urban rooftop garden in late afternoon, where the crispness of fig leaves mingles with the warm spices of a nearby kitchen.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Figuier Noir, launched by Houbigant in 2022 and crafted by perfumer Céline Ellena, is a woody-spicy composition that marries the freshness of fig leaf with warm spices like cardamom and black pepper. The heart brings a touch of sweetness through jasmine and iris, while the base notes of cedar and patchouli ground it in earthy richness. This fragrance exemplifies Houbigant’s enduring elegance and innovation, offering a complex yet cohesive scent that is both contemporary and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure the complex notes have time to unfold. The fresh top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it a moment before venturing out. Ideal for cooler evenings when the woody warmth feels more pronounced.
