Premier Figuier appeared in 1994 and gave the fig the leading part in alcoholic perfumery. Olivia Giacobetti put the whole tree into it: the crushed leaf, the milky sap, the ripe fruit, the wood. Two years before the Philosykos she would sign for Diptyque, the creation opened a category niche perfumery has never left.
Luca Turin makes Premier Figuier the fragrance that established Olivia Giacobetti, and its fig leaf a self-evident move perfumery had been far too slow to make.
What critics say
Perfumes: The Guide — Luca Turin, 2008
Favourable. He holds Premier Figuier to be the creation that made Olivia Giacobetti known, and judges that it deserved to. Its fig leaf note strikes him as something long overdue in perfumery, whose effect jars agreeably.
