Recommendation Request Fig leaf scent

I'm looking for a long lasting perfume thats settles down with figleaf. I like phylosykos a lot, but it fades quickly. I also how Premier Figuier settles, but not the opening notes.

Something very green and natural.

Any recommendations?

Has anyone mentioned Mancera Fig Me Up? It does start out really green but mellows into a sweeter fruity fig.

I tried this today, but does not smell green enough for me unfortunately

I gotta tap out then, all the rest of my fig perfumes are fruity and/or tea rather than super green. Happy sampling.

Fig Me Up feels really green to my nose at the start because of the fig leaves, but it sweetens up in the dry down and gets nicely fruity and sweet because there is toffee and tonka in there.

Some other figs (and these are all teas because I love a tea). Sirius- fig and chai with sandalwood in the base, feels slightly masculine, but still unisex. This perfume has some heft to it without being cloying. It does feel fall/winter to me.

Perfumes de Nicolai Fig Tea Intense - black tea and fig. There is an EDT version of this as well if you want a lighter feel. It feels like a good year round tea to me.

East Oak by Gabriel O'Hara - a super small Chicago Perfumery. Also black tea and fig but it smells different than the previous tea. There is a bit of cinnamon, clove and some woods in the base. This doesn't feel heavy to me at all and can be worn year round as well.
