SOTD: Mancera Fig me Up

For my buddy

@Thomas Chavez

11:31 AM First Spray

Today’s scent of the day is Fig Me Up by Mancera.

Right off the spray, you get that earthy green snap from rhubarb and fig leaf. It is not just fruity. There is a slightly tart almost vegetal greenness that keeps the sweetness from getting out of control. Then the plum and fig nectar start warming things up. There is already a jammy undertone but it feels balanced.

Projection early on was strong. A solid scent bubble without being overwhelming.

Around 30 to 45 Minutes Into the Mids

Now we are in the mids.

The oud starts to peek through with a faint funk when my skin warms up. Not barnyard just a subtle earthy depth. When I cooled down the fruitiness floated back up and the fig and plum combo felt almost candy like. Not Skittles but definitely jammy.

This is where the fragrance gets interesting. It shifts depending on heat and airflow.

Around 4 Hours Drydown

At this point it is softening into

Creamy sandalwood

Smooth musk

Lingering tonka and toffee sweetness

The oud blends into the structure and stops announcing itself. It becomes more of a sweet gourmand fig wrapped in woods.

Still a pleasant scent bubble but no longer projecting heavily.

5 Plus Hours Skin Scent

Now it is

Sandalwood
