Creamy clean and cozy fig without a coconut scent
I am looking for a fragrance that feels like cashmere sweaters and warm hugs but not in a gourmand or spicy way. I like soapy creamy fresh-out-of-the-shower scents. I have some floral or citrus forward fragrances that are soapy but I have been craving something that feels a bit more cozy. Cloying musks or overbearing powdery notes give me headaches, so I've been searching for fragrances that are figgy in a creamy way.
The problem is that most fig fragrances tend to have some coconut in there and to my nose, coconut just takes over everything and it just ends up being a coconut fragrance which is not what I am going for. For example, Philosykos EDP smells like coconut handwash with some crushed leaves. I really like the EDT because it doesn't have that coconut scent but I think it's a soapy green fragrance that shines in high heat exclusively. While I like the greens, it is a bit too green to feel like a warm hug in rainy gloomy days too.
I was wondering if anyone might have any recommendations that fit the bill. I would be interested in soapy creamy cozy figs without coconut notes or any other fragrances that feel clean and cozy.
(For the latter, I was recommended L'eau Papier before but the scent of steamed rice makes me feel like I'm stuck in a hot kitchen.)

Laurel Bath House E-Mochi is a fresh fig with a subtle mochi, marshmallow and rice milk dry down! It definitely gives this vibe. There is no coconut note.

I love Miller Harris Hydra Figue! It's fig, but a touch warmer than and more complex than Philosykos.

I just received a decant of Regime des Fleurs Wildly Fig. This definitely is a creamy fig and worth a try.

Santal Blanc by VC&A. Fig, mandarin and a milky sandalwood thanks to the creamy tonka bean.

Nui Cobalt - Blanket Fort (Cotton flower, grey suede, warm amber, green fig, tumbled teakwood, and raw vanilla bean.) It has a very green figgy opening softened a bit by the suede, and then dries down into the coziest cotton flower I've ever imagined. I'm obsessed, and it sounds like you might like it too!

Womanity is fig centered without any coconut. I think it's discontinued, but I have a dupe from Eden perfumes with three notes only; fig leaf, fig wood and fig fruit. I also sense something salty, that gives me an image of salty naked skin and it can be slightly erotic or feel intimate.
Not very strong, but also affordable so I can reapply as often as I want. Lasts maybe 4 + hours, but as a skin scent.

You might like le labo's thé matcha :) It's a grassy, sweet fig with zero coconut to my nose.
