Fico Di Amalfi

Fico di Amalfi by Acqua di Parma

If the Amalfi Coast had a scent, this would be it. Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo Fico di Amalfi, launched in 2006 and crafted by perfumer Francois Demachy, is the brand’s love letter to the fig trees that grow wild on the cliffsides above the Tyrrhenian Sea — that distinctive smell of green fig leaves, milky fig fruit, and warm sun on stone walls. It became one of the most-loved fig fragrances in modern perfumery.

Our interpretation captures the same sun-drenched Italian summer at €39 for a full 50ml of long-lasting Eau de Parfum.

How It Smells

The opening is unmistakably summer in Italy — bright bergamot and grapefruit lifted with the green, slightly bitter freshness of fig leaves and a touch of lemon. It’s clean, sparkling, and unmistakably Mediterranean from the first spray.

The heart introduces what makes Fico di Amalfi unforgettable: the milky-sweet, slightly tropical character of ripe fig fruit, wrapped in pink pepper and jasmine sambac. It’s gentle, comforting, and surprisingly creamy without ever becoming heavy. The dry-down settles on warm cedar, soft benzoin, and clean musk — the lingering smell of skin warmed by hours of Italian sun.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We don’t claim this is identical — no dupe ever truly is. What we’ve built is a faithful interpretation of Fico di Amalfi’s elegant fig-citrus signature: the same green-bitter opening, the same creamy fig heart, the same warm cedar-musk base. Where Acqua di Parma’s original is an Eau de Toilette with the moderate longevity typical of summer fragrances, ours is built as a true Eau de Parfum at up to 40% concentration — typically 6 to 8 hours on skin instead of the 3 to 4 hours common with the original.

Who It’s For

Fico di Amalfi is unisex and at its most beautiful in spring and summer — warm weather, linen, terraces, swimming pools, lazy afternoons. Wears as effortlessly stylish, sun-bronzed, unhurried. A favorite among couples who share fragrances. Pairs naturally with citrus or aquatic scents if you layer.
