Description
Daniel Josier, was born as a brand in 2014, by the hand of its namesake author Daniel Josier. The names of their creations may make us think of classic fragrances, nothing could be further from the truth, they are creative, modern, but without stridency and adapt to our skin in a perfect symbiosis.
Under the shelter of a tree, many of us have probably sat at some point in our lives. And that situation is the main inspiration for Under the Figtree, an ode to adolescence.
Daniel Josier has the fond memory of his teenage years, sitting on the grass under a fig tree in his parents’ garden, doing his high school homework with his ever-faithful dog, Barry. A situation that was repeated over time.
A couple of years ago, Daniel had an inspiring dream, and it was in his dream world that this memory emerged, but twisted through the power of imagination.
He was under the shelter of that same fig tree, but he was no longer in front of his parents’ house, nor was his friend Barry. What she had beside her was a red cellophane dress, and a hill, where on the top she could see a majestic Oak tree. Encina is her best friend, someone she can always count on. Representing its course from adolescence by the fig tree, and maturity by the holm oak.
Thus was born Daniel Josier’s Under the Figtree.
Top notes: Galbanum, bergamot, mandarin orange and pink pepper.
Heart notes: Fig leaf, cut grass accord, tea leaves and fig.
Base notes: Cedarwood, holm oak, iris and amber.

Under the Fig Tree is a perfume that captures the pure essence of nature, blending freshness, elegance, and refined complexity. This fragrance invites you on a walk through a Mediterranean garden, surrounded by figs, green leaves, and a serene atmosphere bathed in natural light.
First Impression: Citrusy and Green Freshness
At first, the fragrance unfolds with a vibrant and fresh burst of mandarin and bergamot, bringing a luminous citrus touch. The combination of these fruits creates a fresh and invigorating opening, like the crisp morning air in an orchard.
A subtle touch of pink pepper appears, adding a delicate spiciness that enhances the initial freshness without overpowering it.
To balance the citrus notes, galbanum comes into play—a resin that provides a green and slightly balsamic sensation, reminiscent of the scent of fresh plants and tree leaves.
Heart: Fig and Fresh Vegetation
As the perfume develops, fig takes center stage, but not in a sweet or heavy way. Instead, it presents a fresh, juicy, and almost herbal note, accompanied by fig leaf and tea. The fig here is not opulent; rather, it highlights its greener and more refreshing facets.
The fig leaf feels light and herbaceous, while tea adds a refreshing nuance, almost like a midday walk through nature, where the crisp scent of green or white tea mingles softly with the leaves and the air.
A hint of freshly cut grass enhances the composition, adding a green and clean feeling that elevates the freshness and lightness of the fragrance.
Base: Soft and Warm Woods
In the base, the perfume becomes more sophisticated. Oak and cedar provide a warm and elegant woody foundation, with oak adding a deep and robust touch, while cedar brings a drier and finer nuance.
Iris, with its floral and powdery facets, introduces subtle sophistication and an elegant touch. Meanwhile, musk and amber offer a soft and enveloping sensation, adding depth without compromising freshness. Musk lends a discreet sensuality, while amber provides a warm, resinous undertone, completing the fragrance with a rich yet smooth base.
Under the Fig Tree by Daniel Josier invites you on a journey through a sunlit garden, surrounded by fresh and lush nature. With a citrusy and green opening, followed by a heart of fresh fig and leaves, and a warm woody base, this fragrance is perfect for those seeking a perfume that blends freshness and elegance with a deep and natural feel.
This perfume is a perfect representation of a Mediterranean landscape—fresh, clean, green, and full of life, yet with a touch of sophistication and depth. Ideal for those who desire a complex and dynamic fragrance that evolves over time, adapting to both moments of tranquility and more formal occasions.

What a beautiful description of Under the Fig Tree! It is true that it manages to perfectly capture that Mediterranean essence, with just the right balance between freshness and sophistication. The combination of fig with its green and woody facet makes it really special, without falling into the overly sweet or merely herbal.
It is a perfume that conveys effortless elegance, ideal for those who enjoy natural, well-constructed fragrances. I’m glad to see that you have captured its essence so well.

A high quality green fragrance, perfect for spring and versatile for different occasions. It’s soft and won’t bother anyone around you, but it’s surprisingly long-lasting. You won’t need many sprays to last the whole working day. Not all perfumes need to be “beast mode”!

What a wonderful perfume with that smell of figs and the fresh scent it has, ideal for the summer and very very elegant and what an efficient shop, both in the treatment and in the delivery, which being from the Canary Islands is more complicated. They are also very friendly and are always on top of the order and concerned about giving the best advice and watching that the order arrives at its destination. I’ll buy more, suddenly I’ll go wild now “I’m bald” and I’ll place another order. :))

Thank you very much Juan.
Enjoy it very much! Your words are greatly appreciated. Shipping to the Canary Islands is very expensive and sometimes complicated. We have shipped several times before and our experience precedes us.
And indeed, Under the Fiftree is addictive. Enjoy it.
Best regards.

It is a fresh and elegant perfume, of excellent quality (like everything from Josier). I love the fig leaf smell that is noticeable from the beginning. It is an ideal perfume for warm climates, although it can be used all year round. I give it 4 stars, although it could well have all 5. If you have a summer wedding and you are invited, I don’t know whether to recommend it, because you may be the center of attention and steal the spotlight from the bride and groom. For any other event or day when you feel like smelling good and elegant, this could be the perfume for you.

Thank you very much Adri.
The drying of this perfume, when the fig is no longer visible, is very good.
Greetings.
