The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Marc Jacobs Splash Fig was launched in 2008 and crafted by perfumer Yann Vasnier. This aromatic fruity fragrance opens with a burst of green fig and citrus notes, creating an immediate freshness that is both invigorating and crisp. As it develops, the composition reveals a heart of sweet and bitter accords, balanced by warm woody undertones. The result is a scent that feels dynamic and layered, moving from zesty to cozy without ever feeling heavy.

How to wear it

For best results, apply this fragrance in light layers. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so a few light sprays will ensure you get that initial burst of freshness throughout the day. As it settles into its woody base, the scent becomes more intimate and comfortable close to your skin.
