Fig Leaf CO₂ Absolute is a masterpiece of aromatic extraction — a rare and natural expression of the fig tree’s foliage, capturing its green, milky, and woody aroma in exquisite detail.
Unlike the fruit, which is sweet and syrupy, the leaf carries a fresh, vegetal greenness with creamy undertones. It is this paradox — airy yet grounded, sweet yet dry — that has made fig leaf one of the most loved notes in contemporary perfumery.
Through CO₂ extraction, the essence of the leaf is obtained without high heat or chemical solvents, resulting in a pure, full-spectrum extract that mirrors the living scent of the tree itself — its sunlight, shade, and sap.
This absolute is a signature ingredient for luxury natural perfumes, embodying both sophistication and serenity.
Fig trees (Ficus carica) are deep-rooted, drought-resistant species cultivated sustainably throughout the Mediterranean.
Leaves are collected as a by-product of fruit cultivation, ensuring zero waste and full resource utilization.
The CO₂ extraction method uses no chemical solvents, producing 100% pure plant extract while maintaining environmental responsibility.
Sourcing from organic and regenerative farms in France, Spain, and Morocco ensures traceability, purity, and eco-friendly value at every stage.
Fig Leaf CO₂ Absolute is an olfactory poem — a blend of green vitality, creamy sweetness, and quiet sophistication.
It captures the timeless beauty of the fig tree, offering a scent that is natural, sensual, and deeply grounding.
In perfumery, it serves as a rare bridge between freshness and warmth.
In aromatherapy, it brings calm and clarity.
In skincare, it offers gentle fragrance and antioxidant richness.
A modern classic of natural artistry — where nature’s simplicity meets perfumery’s refinement.
Aroma and Olfactory Profile:
The fragrance of Fig Leaf CO₂ Absolute is multi-dimensional, elegant, and comforting.
Top Notes: Crisp green leaf, dew, and subtle citrus tones.
Heart Notes: Creamy lactonic sweetness, herbaceous warmth, gentle coconut nuance
Base Notes: Woody-balsamic, soft hay, and warm resin undertones.
The aroma is fresh yet soothing, reminiscent of walking beneath a fig canopy on a summer afternoon.
It opens with green clarity, softens into sweet milky warmth, and finishes with a dry, woody tranquility.
Its character bridges green florals and creamy woods, making it perfect for both masculine and unisex compositions.
Chemical Composition:
The CO₂ extraction retains a balanced combination of volatile aroma compounds and heavier, fixative molecules, offering exceptional depth and longevity.
Main components include:
Furaneol and lactones – impart creamy, fruity, and caramel-like sweetness
Coumarins and phytol derivatives – add warmth and smoothness
Terpenes and sesquiterpenes – contribute to green, resinous, and woody aspects
Natural plant waxes – enhance texture and stability
Together, these compounds give Fig Leaf CO₂ Absolute its unique “green-amber” duality, harmonizing freshness and warmth.
Therapeutic and Aromatherapeutic Benefits
While primarily used in perfumery, Fig Leaf CO₂ Extract also carries holistic wellness benefits:

-Grounding & Centering Stabilizes emotions; harmonizes energy during anxiety or change.
-Mood-Enhancing Evokes tranquility, optimism, and a feeling of sunlight and calm.
