Limited Edition: Fig perfume
The first ink in our Ink of the Month series is Limited Edition – Fig perfume.
An ink that does not demand attention. Instead, it quietly holds its place – like the warm glow of a candle on a winter evening.
The story of the colour
The shade Fig perfume is inspired by the colour of bronze candlesticks that take centre stage on the table every Christmas. They possess a quiet ambiguity: neither gold nor brown, neither new nor old. They carry memory.
This is a colour that evokes winter, stillness, and the feeling of coming home.
A reminder that even an ordinary evening can feel ceremonial.
