Fico Neri

Simone Andreoli is an independent Italian fragrance house founded by perfumer Simone Andreoli, known for creating distinctive scents that emphasize natural ingredients and unconventional compositions. The brand operates outside the mainstream fragrance industry, allowing for creative freedom in both concept and execution. Fico Neri opens with a bright, herbaceous blend of banana leaf, citrus leaves, and fig leaf that immediately establishes a green, fresh character. The heart introduces fig and brandy, adding warmth and a subtle boozy sweetness that grounds the composition. The base layers in coconut, dried fruits, and milk alongside sandalwood and woody notes, creating a gourmand finish that's creamy without being cloying. The overall effect is a fragrance that balances green freshness with sweet, fruity undertones and a dry woody foundation, making it feel both summery and subtly indulgent. This fragrance works best for those seeking something unconventional with genuine depth, ideal for warm weather wear when you want complexity beyond typical fresh scents. It suits someone comfortable with slightly quirky compositions that reward closer inspection. Discover similar fragrances with The Tactician, The Heirloom, and The Cipher.
