I'm so excited - a fig note that doesn't do the Tide Tango on me...
This is fruity as I like it, soft and sweet and rich fruit flavors. Gives me a fresh, tropical feel without any overpowering notes.

So far this is my favorite of those I am testing today.

So - I am with Pony on most of this.

 

It's not my favorite so far - but it is clearly my second FAVE of the DA scents- and much more practical for everyday use than my FAVE. (Duh - Jouir De?!!!! The bad girls scent.)

 

Soft, tropical, FABULOUS - totally great for work and play - I love this much more than I thought I would!

 

Awesome - well blended - and just wonderful!

This is my favorite of the DA scents! I love the sweetness, but not too sweet; I can wear this to work and not overwhelm anyone LOL.

One of my top 3 faves for the DA releases. Mmmm...fig!

[luna65]

This is definitely a fig lover's scent! At first it's very sweet on me, the red sugar is really potent, but then the fig comes out and it's very lush and smooth. It doesn't have the green characteristic I get from Sugared Magi, for example. After a time I can sense the spice and musk underneath, making it deeper and very sexy.

This is a strong contender for my favorite of DA!! To think, I was about to trade it away...Then I decided I'd better give it a proper try before doing so. I'm so glad I did!! I'm sure I'll be getting another bottle (or two) of this!!

 

After the initial fruitiness drys down this becomes a soft, very sweet, creamy tropical delight!

[sultry brunette]

A berry/fig note is the first one that I get when I smell this wet. A very soft, pretty and juicy berry/fig. As it dries, it starts to smell like a slightly fruity dry piece of bubble gum. It has that hint of sugary powder on the top, just like a fresh piece of gum does. It is soft and a very closely held scent. Not cloyingly sweet, and not “powdery” like you would normally associate the term.

Though the sweet, delicious tropical fruit is what comes out most strongly to me in this one, there is something in the background that kind of makes the fruitiness more subtle and sophisticated than I was expecting. It's not that I don't like bright, in-your-face fruit, but there's certainly something to be said for delicacy. Very nice!

Funny, I don't get fig at all in this. To me this is an earthy scent with a tiny bit of sweetness. It's nice though.

I was thinking the same thing! The fruit scents I get from it are mostly the papaya and mango, I think.

[rinster]

Ditto to all of the above. This makes me envision the yellow/red/orange glow of a tequila sunrise. It's fruit and cream--not too sweet, not too tart. Yum.

[bruiseviolet]

The almond is very prominent on me, along with the fruit. I get mostly mango. This doesn't really have a tropical feel though. It is sweet and fruity, but not overly so. This is a fruity scent for people who don't normally like fruity.

[Black Cat]

This is one I backed off on in trade, then ended up getting as lovely extra, and it's wonderful! Fruits are not my favorite, but this one has enough spice and musk tempering the fruit to make it a subtle sophisticated blend which will be very work appropriate and great in the summer. It's also lovely for a sparkling winter's day -- there's a warmth to it that is just brightening my mood no end. The red musk is definitely a different musk than I've smelled before -- really loving it!
