A Love Letter to Fig, Vol 2: Best Fig Beauty Products

Today I continue my ode to all things fig by featuring my favorite fig-scented beauty and home products! I’m a huge fan of this pretty scent; it’s fruity, green, earthy, and all-around beautiful. It always feels a bit elevated to me compared to most fruity fragrances.

As I was planning this post, I realized I already had a TON of fig-scented products in my house. Everything featured today is something that I already own and use regularly; I didn’t have to buy one thing for this article! Below are my thoughts on each one of these beautifully-scented fig products that will elevate any home décor or shower ritual.

Beekman 1802 Fig Leaf Hand & Body Wash

• Notes: fig leaves, orange, fig nectar, rose, coconut, amber, fig wood, musk
• Key Ingredients: goat milk, lavender oil, mandarin orange essential oil, coriander essential oil
• Other Details: 100% cruelty-free, ideal for sensitive skin, all packaging can be recycled/upcycled, brand promotes kindness, supports and promotes local artists
• Also Available In: lotion, whipped body cream, bar soap shampoo, conditioner, lip balm

I love the Beekman boys and their fabulous products that promote healthy skin and kindness. I’m a long-time fan of their hand and body wash combo, which comes in a ton of different fragrances. Vanilla Absolute remains my top favorite scent of theirs but this one is also well-loved. It’s a beautiful, deep, ambery-fig fragrance that’s perfect for this early autumn time of the year.

One small thing to note: this soap has a smooth, gel-like feel that’s great but tends to cause it to gum up a little bit in the dispenser over time/using. It creates a little gelatinous glob that plugs up the pump from time to time. It’s not a huge deal (many pump soaps do this) but just something to be aware of as it can make it messy when you go to push the pump and the soap gushes out around the little gel plug. Just be sure to clear out that little plug and it’s smooth sailing.

• Also Available In: cleansing cream-to-foam

Who says a facial cleanser can’t both smell great and really work?? This little miracle product is a favorite of mine and a staple in my shower. I mainly use it to wash off eye makeup and it works like an absolute charm while smelling wonderful. The opening smell as I pump it out of the bottle is SO GOOD, pure honey and fig. As I apply it with a sponge, that initial light, sweet-ish scent fades to a more ‘clay mask’ smelling scent but it’s still clean and pleasant. The product works great to remove my eye makeup and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. It’s a winner in my book!

Voluspa’s cozy, warm interpretation of the fig is the perfect autumnal scent. It combines beautiful impressions of super-ripe fig and syrupy nectar, accented with lightly green and woodsy nuances. It’s lush and has just the right amount of sweetness. This sophisticated scent makes a perfect gift (or you can spoil yourself with a fun treat!) and Voluspa’s reasonable prices won’t break the bank.

• Also Available In: bar soap, hand-blown candle, hand & body lotion, potpourri crystals & refresher oil

You guys have seen me rave about Bastide’s lush scents before and they continue to be a favorite fragrance house of mine. They have mastered the art of the summer citrus freshie but they have a few fragrances that are perfect for this time of the year, too: Ambre Maquis, Figue Amour, and my very favorite fragrance of theirs, Figue D’Ete. This elevated fig scent is absolutely gorgeous. Chock full of every part of the fig tree, it’s earthy, green, fruity, and sophisticated.

This is the hand wash I always bring out when guests are coming over. Everyone always asks me about it and comments on how beautiful it smells. The body wash has a light lather and leaves skin feeling truly squeaky clean. And the hand cream is rich, luxe, and leaves dry hands feeling amazingly moisturized. I cannot recommend this beautiful fragrance and these high-quality products enough, the entire line is wonderful.

This scent celebrates the entire fig tree, including the leaves, sap, and of course, the fruit. There’s also nuances of black pepper and coconut.

Diptyque Figuier Candle

• Notes: fig leaves, fig tree sap, fig tree wood, black pepper
• Key Ingredients: (from Diptyque) fine, rare and precious, the raw materials that compose each perfumed candle are selected with the utmost care. Because each fragrance concentrate reacts to heat in a different way, meticulous care is taken to strike the right balance between the concentrate, the wax and the wick. To achieve a perfect diffusion of perfume, each candle benefits from a unique blend of high quality waxes, with wick material and diameter selected for optimal combustion.
• Other Details: it takes two days to make each candle and eight separate processes, most of which are still done by hand, upcycling of their beautiful vessels is highly encouraged
• Also Available In: decorative hourglass diffuser, car diffuser, room spray, home electric diffuser, electric wall diffuser, scented oval (more on that item below!)

I can’t talk about Philosykos without mentioning Diptyque’s line of home fragrances that also celebrate the fig. Their lovely Figuier candles and other home fragrance products are a gorgeous way to scent your home with the same lovely fig fragrance of Philosykos. And all of the pieces are literally works of art. The beautiful vessels can be cleaned out after the candle has been used up and re-used for a variety of purposes around the house.

Diptyque Figuier Scented Oval

This cool little find is one of my favorite around-the-house items. Think of it as a luxury sachet that you can scent a drawer or linen closet with. I use mine in my linen closet and it keeps everything smelling so fresh and beautiful. Also, this product is SUPER long-lasting! I purchased mine in the beginning of May 2021 and it’s still going strong a year and a half later!
