By Scent (Fig Violet Review)
Fig & Violet
Fig & Violet
The Mediterranean sun beats down on vast swathes of fig trees. Woody. Warm. Verdant. You move languidly in the heat as a soft cloud of violet lingers, colliding gently with soothing white jasmine, sweet and sensual. Fruit ripens, delicate, fresh. Green basil dances on the breeze as days stretch into eternal summer.
