Figuier Noir combines the different facets of the fig tree: bitter, sensual and tart at the same time. The fragrance develops into a flattering and harmonious combination of scents. The bitterness of fig juice and masculine wood notes combined with exquisite spices and black fig give it authenticity and grounding.
Figuier Noir is a spicy, fruity and woody fragrance.
The already high concentration has been slightly increased, raising it to the level of Eau de Parfum Extrême.
The bottle
In collaboration with designer Jean-Christophe Gaydon, the classic crystal bottle, originally created by Lalique at the beginning of the 20th century, has been modernised. All the details from the original design have been retained, but the overall impression is more modern and ‘masculine’: each small square has been cut into the glass in a diamond shape to give the bottle more luminosity. The shoulder details of the bottle are inspired by the Art Deco style of the late 19th century. The front and back of the bottle have been curved to resemble a cushion, adding further opulence.
The zamak cap
Zamak is the name given to a special zinc die-cast alloy and is very similar to the original bottle. The nickel-plated cap reinforces and emphasises the opulent overall impression. The details are reflected on the top of the cap; the name Houbigant is engraved in Art Deco style on all four sides.
Men's Collection
Since its foundation, Houbigant has perfumed the men who have shaped history: from Louis XVI to Napoleon to the Russian tsars. Houbigant's books record that Napoleon stopped at the Houbigant store during his 100-day campaign to fill his suitcases with perfume before continuing his march to regain power. Today, as in the past, Houbigant focuses on men with a collection dedicated to them, consisting of precious raw materials and sophisticated combinations.
