I really like the Caudalie brand (apart from the Beauty Elixir which I think smells like toothpaste) so when I was recently browsing in John bell & Croyden I was intrigued when I discovered there was a new Caudalie fragrance out. I had a quick spray and left the store......well for the rest of the day I kept sniffing my wrist and just fell in love with this fragrance that I feel is the perfect summer scent.
Its called Figue de Vignes and on the Caudalie website they describe the frangrance like this "The inspiration for Figue de Vigne is a wonderful summer afternoon on the island of Lande, in the shade of the fig tree leaves where notes of citrus fruit and white wood mingle". Now I don't know where the island of Lande is but the rest of the description is spot on - the scent is citrusy yet woody. I can also detect fig notes in there. The overall result is very fresh and light.
I really like the bottle, its simple and works well, the cardboard container is really handy too (more so that a standard box) as you can pack this in your bag if you are travelling and the glass bottle will be protected.
The only downside to Figue de Vigne is that it isn't the most long lasting scent, maybe this is to be expected as its meant to be a light summery fragrance but it would be nice if it lasted a bit longer. That said I adore it so much I will be repurchasing.
If you are still looking for that perfect summer fragrance I would definitely suggest seeking this one out for a sniff.
I purchased a 50ml bottle at John Bell & Croyden for £26 but it is also available online for £23.40 here
