Debaser, named after the band is 1989 hit, is not a typical creamy, lactic or fruity fig. It is a bright and hot green scent that opens with a waft of fig tree broiling in the August sun. It is an energetic, warm, bold and woody fig. Debaser is therefore a tribute to a song about a film about nothing in particular. And fittingly, it is a fragrance that becomes even more compelling in its dry-down when it sheds the specificity of its figgy verisimilitude. That is when a perfect blend of base notes, iris, coconut, tonka and moss, leaves a cool and velvet-soft hint of wood on skin.
