Fig Girl Fall Is Now Officially Here: Here's How to Perfect the Jammy Trend, Covering Everything from Fragrance to Skincare.
Six months ago, I started eating seasonally, and now, my beauty routine mirrors what I consume. For instance, throughout the summer, I experimented with citrus-inspired cocktails and embraced yellow- and orange-toned manicures. Recently, pumpkin has been a major focus in both my diet and shower regimen. While I planned to naturally incorporate figs into my beauty regimen, I never anticipated the surge of fig-infused skincare, fragrances, and cosmetics appearing on my FYP in October, well before I began looking for new additions. After saving hundreds of screenshots and TikToks, I’ve finally selected 21 fig beauty products from brands like Diptyque, Salt & Stone, Elemis, and Victoria Beckham Beauty that I’ll be purchasing for the foreseeable future.
**Perfume**
**Jo Malone London**
Fig & Lotus Flower Cologne
Scent Type: Warm florals
Notes: Fig leaf, lotus flower, vetiver, neroli
This fragrance from Jo Malone London is inspired by the lush figs and lotus flowers of the ancient Hanging Gardens. It infuses the skin with the scents of juicy fig, delicate lotus flower, earthy vetiver, and bright neroli. Lightly floral with green undertones, it’s one of the most authentic fig-leaf fragrances I’ve encountered.
**Diptyque**
Philosykos Eau de Parfum
Scent Type: Aromatic woods
Notes: Fig leaves, fig tree sap, black pepper
While some fig scents emphasize woody and green elements, others highlight their fresh and creamy qualities. Diptyque’s Philosykos combines the freshness of fig leaves, sun-drenched bark, sweet tree sap, and zesty black pepper. Although I connect this perfume with cooler months, it is also exquisite in spring and summer. The artwork on the bottle features an etched fig tree grove with the sea in the background, making it particularly striking.
**YSL Beauty**
Lavallière Eau de Parfum
Scent Type: Fruity floral
Notes: Black currant bud absolute, fig accord, bergamot, geranium essence, rose petal Isparta, jasmine sambac absolute, vetiver essence, cashmeran, musk
The sweet essence of fig is prominent in YSL's Lavallière Eau de Parfum. It balances the juicy fruit with green, woody notes, transitioning to vibrant damascena rose and delicate rose water. The perfume opens with bright notes but reveals a warm, inviting dry-down that blends beautifully with earthy scents.
**D.S. & Durga**
Debaser Eau de Parfum
Scent Type: Aromatic fruit
Notes: Bergamot, green leaf, pear stem, fig, coconut milk, iris, blond woods, tonka bean, moss
Ripe fig serves as the core of this fragrance, enhanced by iris, bergamot, and coconut milk, setting it apart. Its nostalgic feeling is rooted in inspirations of music, young love, and the humidity of August. The fragrance also features Haitian vetiver and lime oil, adding freshness.
**Guerlain**
Aqua Allegoria Forte Nerolia Vetiver Eau de Parfum
Scent Type: Citrus floral
Notes: Bergamot, fig leaf, petitgrain, fig accord, neroli, rose, cedar, vetiver, tonka bean
Inspired by Calabria, Italy, this floral-citrus fragrance from Guerlain combines a burst of bergamot with silky fig accord, then introduces creamy neroli, warm vetiver, and comforting almond. Additionally, it is refillable and contains 95% natural-origin ingredients, including sustainable beetroot alcohol, offering a glimpse of the sun-kissed Italian coast in a bottle.
**L'Artisan Parfumeur**
Premier Figuier Extrême Eau de Parfum
Scent Type: Woody fruit
Notes: Gorse, peach, fig leaves, dried fruits, almond milk, fig, coconut milk, pine needles, sandalwood, fig wood
Premier Figuier's captivating fig aroma was created by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti while she sat beneath a fragrant fig tree in southern France. Featuring a blend of fig leaves, fruit, and wood accentuated by sweet peach, creamy coconut milk, and smooth sandalwood, its sillage is impressive, lasting up to eight hours on skin and clothing.
**Home Fragrance**
**Scent Type: Green woods**
Notes: Fig leaves, green facets
I’ve kept this fresh, fruity fragrance in every apartment I’ve occupied as a staple for unexpected guests. The Fig Tree candle provides a cool, powdery essence inspired by the 700 fig trees of Louis XIV's gardens in Versailles. Its smooth fig-leaf notes interlace with vibrant green aspects that evoke images of fresh foliage. Housed in a stylish white container, it offers a burn time of 40 to 50 hours.
**Salt & Stone**
Fig & Violet Candle
