Roger and Gallet have launched their latest fragrance and it's a beaut! I have the *Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier Eau de Parfum (£40.50, 50ml) which consists of the following notes:
- Top notes: juicy mandarin and pink peppercorn
- Heart notes: violet wood and fig leaves
- Base notes: patchouli and moss
Firstly, the bottle is just gorgeous; it is so simple but luxe and weighty! The bottle is so detailed too with Roger & Gallet on the gold lid and the perfume actually looks baby pink in colour. Even though the bottle is so pretty, I always keep my perfumes in a drawer rather than displayed as light can ruin the fragrance. The fragrance initially is sweet and fruity but earthy and musky, it is such a unique, interesting fragrance that is very different to all of the others in my collection.
The fragrance develops into a warm, creamy, comforting musky perfume on me after a couple of hours, although it still retains some of the sweet floral notes. The longevity is about seven hours which is quite impressive, so there is no need to reapply throughout the day, although if you wanted to you could dispense the fragrance into an atomiser.
I also have the *Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier Hand and Nail Balm (£6, 30ml) which matches the fragrance. The hand and nail balm contains shea butter and fig extract - it smells so good! I have a patch of eczema on my hand but the hand balm doesn't irritate my skin at all. It leaves my hands so smooth, soft and moisturised without leaving a greasy or heavy residue. It feels like a mix between a hand cream and a balm, as the name would suggest, so it's very nourishing. The tube packaging means that it is so handy to carry around in my handbag. I've heard great things about the Roger & Gallet hand and nail balms and this one doesn't disappoint.
Overall, the Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier EDP is such a lovely everyday autumnal fragrance in my opinion and I know I will be getting so much use out of it, especially with autumn fast approaching! I love the fragrance as does my mum and sister so it would be great for a range of ages. As well as the gorgeous Eau de Parfum and lovely Hand and nail balm, there is also a shower gel, body lotion, oil, fragrance water, shower cream and soaps in this range. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
