Fresh, Woody Floral

Figue Narcotique

EAU DE PARFUM - 30ml (1 FL. OZ)

Sale price$ 125.00
Cardamom and fig milk bewitch like moonlight on the swelling tide. Jasmine, sandalwood, and leather are the narcotic depths of night.

If most fig fragrances feel either overly green or overly sweet, Figue Narcotique was composed as a more atmospheric and sensual alternative. A transportive fig designed for evening, close encounters, and moments when you want the scent to speak before you do.

Centered around a milky fig accord, it blends lactonic softness with subtle green freshness and a refined, jam-like depth that remains intimate rather than gourmand. Jasmine and cardamom add lift and intrigue, while sandalwood and labdanum provide a smooth, structural base that deepens the composition without heaviness.

With medium-loud sillage and nuanced development on skin, it creates both presence and atmosphere—noticeable in the air, yet soft and intimate up close.

Top Notes: Jasmine, Cardamom

100% Natural Ingredients

Our fragrances are composed entirely from botanically derived raw materials, obtained through distillation, expression, and extraction in accordance with IFRA and European safety standards.

We choose natural materials not as a trend, but for their nuance — their ability to shift with skin, air, and time. The result is a softer, more dimensional scent experience that evolves in wear rather than remaining static.

NO: phalates, parabens, sulfates. Vegan Formula. Cruelty-free.

Ingredients: ALCOHOL DENAT.*, PARFUM** (FRAGRANCE**), AQUA (WATER)

Sustainably Made in USA

Born in Manhattan and crafted by hand in the USA.

We source our materials globally, working closely with longstanding French suppliers known for their expertise in fine fragrance ingredients. Our ingredients come from partners who prioritize responsible cultivation, ethical harvesting, and environmental care at origin.

This helps ensure that what you wear, use, and live with comes from supply chains that respect both land and community. We focus on thoughtful sourcing, measured production, and materials that age well with time and use.

We do not claim perfection.

Instead, we make deliberate choices, prioritizing natural materials, longevity, and responsible partnerships so that what you choose is made with care, not excess.

How To Wear

Naturals scents have a sheerness that can be layered to increase scent intensity. Two to four sprays are usually best, but it's your personal taste.

Scents are designed at high concentrations for long-lasting wear, but we recommend reapplication throughout the day as a part of your scent ritual.

Apply to pulse points—wrists, throat, collarbone—where body heat allows the composition to develop gradually throughout the day. Avoid rubbing; friction can flatten the structure and shorten its evolution.

If you’re used to conventional fragrance, natural perfume may surprise you. Most perfumes are engineered to project loudly and remain unchanged from morning to night. Ours are composed entirely of botanical materials, which means they evolve with you.

Our dry mist atomizers diffuse the scent for an indulgent cloud-like experience. Spraying closer to skin can provide for a stronger scent experience.

The Scent Journey

Figue Narcotique unfolds slowly, with presence that is both atmospheric and intimate.

Cardamom and jasmine introduce the composition with warmth and depth rather than brightness, creating a soft yet noticeable aura from the first moments on skin. At the heart, the fig emerges not as fruit, but as milk—creamy, green, and subtly jam-like, offering a refined sweetness that feels smooth and restrained rather than gourmand or heavy.

As it develops, sandalwood and labdanum provide structure and quiet depth, allowing the composition to remain sensual without becoming dense. Vanilla lingers at the edges, warm and understated, enhancing the softness of the fig rather than overtaking it. The result is a fragrance that projects with atmosphere while maintaining nuance in close proximity.

Designed for evening and intimate settings yet distinctive enough for day-to-night wear, it creates a transportive presence that is noticeable in the air and deeply personal on the skin. Sensual, modern, and quietly magnetic, it invites attention without excess.

For those who prefer desire expressed with restraint—soft, atmospheric, and unmistakably intentional.

Figue Narcotique

The Backstory

NEW YORK, 1933.

At the Hotel Commodore, forty-five cents would get you a frozen fig pudding. Which feels like exactly the sort of dessert you order after insisting you weren't having dessert. The Commodore sat beside Grand Central, so close that you could come off the train and disappear into the hotel without really going outside—past the chandeliers, through the dining rooms, perhaps eventually toward a ballroom that held thousands of people.

And somewhere on the menu that May was this little frozen fig pudding: cold, creamy, sweet with dark fruit, arriving at the table when dinner should probably have been over. That’s the part we like. Figue Narcotique was never really about the fig tree in daylight. It’s the fig after dinner.

Jasmine and cardamom still hanging in the air, fig milk turning soft and almost custard-like against vanilla, sandalwood and labdanum making everything a little darker around the edges. The sort of sweetness that makes more sense once the plates have been cleared and nobody has made a convincing move toward leaving.

New York has always understood that a perfectly reasonable evening can become something else simply because you ordered one more thing. There are desserts you order because you're hungry, and desserts you order because you're not ready to go home.

Niche Fragrance

100% Natural Perfume

If natural perfume feels different from what you’re used to, you’re not imagining it. Most conventional fragrances are designed to project loudly and remain unchanged all day. Botanical perfume behaves differently—and that difference can be surprising at first.

Our fragrances are made entirely from natural materials. They respond to your body heat, your environment, and your individual skin chemistry. They warm. They evolve. They settle closer.

Instead of broadcasting, they integrate. That softer, more personal wear is intentional, and understanding it changes everything. Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions.

What makes a perfume “natural?"

A natural perfume is composed from botanically derived materials such as flowers, woods, resins, and citrus extracts, obtained through distillation, expression, and extraction rather than synthetic aroma molecules.

Because these materials are shaped by harvest, climate, and origin, subtle variation between batches can occur. This nuance is part of their character, much like vintage variation in wine.

Why doesn’t natural perfume last as long as traditional perfume?

Natural perfumes are designed to evolve more intimately on the skin rather than project in a fixed, linear way.

Instead of remaining static for hours, they soften, shift, and settle closer to the body over time. Longevity varies depending on composition, skin chemistry, and application, and can be extended by applying to pulse points or layering throughout the day.

Where should I apply natural perfume?

Apply to pulse points where warmth helps the fragrance develop: wrists, collarbone, neck, and inner elbows.

Allow the perfume to settle naturally on the skin and avoid rubbing, as friction can alter the top notes and reduce the intended evolution.

Why does perfume smell different on me than on someone else?

Fragrance interacts directly with skin chemistry, temperature, and environment.

Natural materials in particular respond to these variables, which means a scent may appear softer, warmer, cooler, or more floral depending on the wearer. This is a sign of a dynamic composition, not inconsistency.

How should I store my natural perfume?

Store your perfume in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat.

Natural materials are more sensitive to environmental exposure, so proper storage helps preserve their clarity and balance over time. Keeping the bottle in its box or a shaded space is ideal.
