L'Arbre de la Connaissance

L'Arbre de la Connaissance by Jovoy Parfums, a woody, aromatic, fruity eau de parfum, offers the wisdom of the fig tree in a fragrance: here the sap, the wood, the leaves — and the fruit in a second act.

Woody, aromatic, fruity

Striking green notes and citruses open the composition with dazzling vegetal freshness. The heart reveals a black fig accord, juicy and lactonic. In the base, fig tree, creamy sandalwood and a patchouli with facets of mushrooms and overripe apples sign an absolute serenity, echoing natural plants.

Expert advice

Signed by Marc Fanton d'Andon (Robertet), L'Arbre de la Connaissance is a free interpretation of the strangler fig — the tree whose roots embrace the temples of Cambodia — and a nod to the Bodhi tree under which Buddha found enlightenment. Longevity above the fig-family average, to be worn in spring and summer, right under the sun. Made in France.

“Don't expect a traditional fig tree: L'Arbre de la Connaissance is a free interpretation of the strangler fig, the famous tree whose roots grow over the temples of Cambodia. The result is deliberately a green perfume, with a heart enriched by a black fig accord, on a sandalwood base that takes over a patchouli with facets of mushrooms and very ripe apples.” — François Hénin, artistic director - Marc Fanton d'Andon
