FIGS

Theme 16

Before the fruit. After the tree. Between the two: a perfume house with its own way of telling the fig.

Some materials tell the story of an era. The fig is one of them. In the 1990s, it entered contemporary perfumery with a new proposition: a fruit that was not merely gourmand, but vegetal, milky, almost textured.

1994

In 1994, L’Artisan Parfumeur® led the way. Olivia Giacobetti signed Premier Figuier: a soft, luminous fig, still unprecedented… like an idealized Mediterranean evocation.

1996

Then, in 1996, at Diptyque®, Olivia Giacobetti deepened the gesture with Philosykos. The fig tree becomes a whole: leaf, fruit, wood, sap… A complete landscape, settled beneath the sun. These two founding creations drew a territory.

2006

So, in 2006, with Jardins de Kérylos, Pierre Guillaume does not seek to recreate. He chooses to place himself before.

BEFORE THE FRUIT. BEFORE MATURITY. BEFORE EVEN THE SHADOW OF THE TREE.

JARDINS DE KÉRYLOS

Jardins de Kérylos is a fig barely born. Green, incisive, almost budding. A sensation of late winter, early spring, facing the sea. The light is low, almost blinding… and the fruit is still nothing but a promise.

2010

Four years later, in 2010, with Bois Naufragé, the story continues. But this time, it takes place after. The fig tree is treated as driftwood.

Chapter 16.1

BOIS NAUFRAGÉ

The fig tree becomes driftwood. Polished by salt water, warmed by the sun, washed ashore on a beach. No green remains, no fruit — only a memory: that of a saline wood, weathered, almost abstract. Between these two creations, the aim is not to represent a fig tree… but to tell what precedes it… and what survives it. A fig before the fig. A fig tree… after itself.
