Sycophant EDP 100ml

I’m sorry I missed your call. I fell asleep under the fig tree. A place in the shade.

SUMMER COLLECTION
Perdrisât’s Summer collection gets you thinking about the characters you might find at a chic pool party: You have Fuck Boy tanning by the pool, drinking a pina colada, up to no good; then there’s Money Water, the tall, dark, tattooed stranger (and dealer?), Love Bomb, the popular one, the flirt, Fuck Boy’s on again, off again fling; Sycophant is missing the entire party, having dozed off in the shade of the fig tree, and Porcelain is the chic girl inside wearing an little black dress, making a pear salad wondering why she is even at this random party.

HOW IT WEARS
Sycophant begins green and crisp – the fig leaf, sap, and cedar combining for an outdoorsy-feeling figgy opening. This lingers for quite a while before the fragrance begins to soften and warm, turning lactonic and musky and even a little more sweet, like the actual fruit of a fig tree. That said, the fragrance retains its greenery throughout the duration of its wear, which due to the ambrette, is hours and hours.

LORE LOVES
This is one of the most beautiful fig fragrances we’ve ever tried at Lore, but to be honest it’s more fig tree than fig. It’s green, in almost a bitter way at first due to the sap accord, but that is perfectly tempered by creamier, muskier, milkier notes, which make it feel like a tranquil summer’s afternoon spent under a fig tree, exactly as described. Sycophant reminds us of Italo Calvino’s novel The Baron in the Trees, about a young man who one day climbs up into the trees decides to never come down for the rest of his life, instead inhabiting his arboreal kingdom. There is a sense of tranquillity and freedom that can be found in the trees that can never be found on land amongst the people, and this fragrance captures that perfectly.
