FIGUIER NOIR: The inspiration of Céline Ellena, the creator of the fragrance Houbigant - FIGUIER NOIR .

During my time in the countryside in the picturesque Grasse region, I was lucky enough to linger in the gentle morning hours and start the day in peace. As temperatures rose, the fig trees began to exude an intoxicating scent - bitter, sensual and yet tart. It was this fascinating complexity that inspired me to combine these different facets and create a men's fragrance. Wrapped in the shade of a majestic black fig tree, whose gnarled branches embraced me like loving arms, I was enchanted by the freshness of the sap behind the tree's bark. With my nose raised and my hands gently placed on the floor, I let myself be carried away by the wave-like currents of contrasting, yet fascinating scents. It was this moment of connection with nature that formed the basis for FIGUIER NOIR - a fragrance that captures the power and allure of the fig tree, inviting men to delve into the rich diversity of their own sensuality and strength." - Céline Ellena
