Mancera Fig Extasy

Mancera Fig Extasy makes fig dense and resinous: its nectar is sharpened by ginger and black pepper against incense, while fig leaf, leather, aromatic woods, vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean and styrax build dark warmth.

Profile: Oriental woody fig.

Notes: fig nectar, incense, black pepper, ginger; fig leaf, leather, sandalwood, cedar, lavender, thyme; vanilla pod, Siam benzoin, tonka bean, styrax.

Evolution: fig nectar, incense, black pepper and ginger → fig leaf, leather and aromatic woods → vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean and styrax.

Best for: Made for the sensual fig devotee who wants the fruit in a dark wood-paneled room, surrounded by incense and leather. It suits a late-autumn dinner, an old bar, or a slow night beside the fire; pepper, resins, and vanilla make the profile dense and spiced, not a breezy green fig.

Origin: France.

Longevity: 8–12 hours.
