Move Over Vanilla, Fig Is the Perfume Note We'll Be Wearing This FallCourtesy of OUAI

Every season, we have a new fragrance note that everyone's obsessed with. This fall? It's all about the fig. The mulberry fruit with a violet hue is beloved in the perfume world. Everything from its ripe juice to its green leaves is used in complex fragrance blends. 

It's a favorite ingredient to use in perfumery because of its versatility. It can blend in or stand out depending on what part is being used (the fruit, tree, or leaf) and the other notes alongside it. This note is nothing new, but there's been a recent resurgence with fragrances using it as its super-star ingredient.

Take it from this fragrance-obsessed writer: I predict that this fall and winter, there will be plenty of new relseases with fig as its main note. Whether it's adding a deep fruity and sweet or a green and woody aroma to the perfume, there's a plethora of options for you and your growing fragrance collection.

From top brands to niche perfume houses, keep scrolling to shop the best fig scents out right now.
