Purple Fig tells the last summer night of Doctor Johann Friedrich Struensee: a picnic with the woman he loved and their friends, champagne and figs, his favourite fruit, as dusk turned the sky purple. A bittersweet cocktail, between joy and tears.
Sichuan pepper and angelica seeds open the composition. Galbanum, green fig and jasmine absolute form a green, fruity heart, over a base of vetiver and cashmere wood.

Purple Fig in detail
Vilhelm Parfumerie often draws on history. Purple Fig tells the last summer night of Doctor Johann Friedrich Struensee, physician and statesman in Denmark: a picnic with the woman he loved and their friends, champagne and figs, his favourite fruit, under a sky turned purple at dusk.
The official pyramid opens with spicy, green Sichuan pepper and angelica seeds. The heart brings together bitter galbanum, green fig and a jasmine absolute. The base pairs vetiver and cashmere wood. A bittersweet cocktail, between joy and tears. Volute files it among woody fragrances.
Purple Fig suits summer and autumn, by day or by night, especially at the end of a long summer day.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Gris Charnel by BDK Parfums shares fig and vetiver; Eleventh Hour by Byredo pairs fig and cashmere wood; Fico di Amalfi by Acqua di Parma finds fig and jasmine again in a more citrus register.
