Golden Amber - Agua de Perfume

I was skeptical about a fig note since I usually hate that smell, but here it just adds a mellow sweetness that balances the cassis perfectly. I've gotten more compliments in the last week than I have all year, and the warmth really lingers without being cloying.

The bergamot hits immediately, bright and zesty, but the fig warms it up beautifully on my skin as it settles. I've gotten three compliments in one day, and the sillage is strong without being cloying.

I was a little nervous about the fig note, but it blends so smoothly with the cassis that it never feels too sweet. The citrus opening fades into a warm, mellow scent that lasts through my whole workday, and I've gotten three compliments on it already.
