The Fresh collection.
Inspired by the wondrous illustration Homme Figuier by Dali, Fig Man takes seemingly classic earthy notes and subverts them into a fanciful surreal fig theme mixed with salt, cool spices and dry woods.
Fig Man is a fresh, lush and spacious green formula.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of close daylight and open air, when the atmosphere feels bright but not sharp. It suits a relaxed, artful presence: someone moving through the city with the windows open, carrying a clean green trail with a salty, figgy warmth that feels composed rather than loud.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its green fig and marine facets can stay airy and vivid. A moderate application is enough; one or two sprays give a clear, fresh presence, while a little more brings out the woody drydown without weighing it down. On skin it reads lush and crisp, in the air it stays spacious.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like green, fig-led fragrances with a modern Mediterranean feel, especially those drawn to salty nuances, violet leaf freshness and dry woods. It will appeal to people who prefer natural-looking compositions with a creative, slightly surreal edge.

The nose
Yann Vasnier is a French perfumer at Givaudan known for polished, contemporary compositions that balance clarity with texture. His work often moves between naturalistic materials and a more graphic, modern structure, which suits Fig Man’s crisp fig, salt and woods interplay. Trained at ISIPCA and drawn early to scent through gardening and niche perfume discovery, Vasnier has become a respected creator across fine fragrance. For Fig Man, he translates Dalí’s surreal fig imagery into a composition that feels Mediterranean, airy and deliberately abstract rather than literal.
Collaborators
Sara and Joaquim Carner shaped the house’s creative direction, building a brand rooted in Barcelona’s Mediterranean identity and a strong visual world; for Fig Man, that broader artistic brief frames the fragrance’s surreal fig concept and its link to Dalí’s imagery.
CARNER’s story
Carner Barcelona builds fragrances around the spirit of its hometown: Mediterranean light, local craft, and personal, memory-driven storytelling. The house favors distinctive niche compositions with a clean modern presentation, using scent to capture places, emotions and cultural references rather than following trends.
Fig Man’s concept
Fig Man was released in 2019 as part of Carner Barcelona’s Fresh Collection and takes its cue from Salvador Dalí’s Homme Figuier. The idea is to rework fig into something more imaginative: green leaves, salty air, cool spice and dry woods, with a nod to the fig trees of Dalí’s Figueres.
Extra info
Fig Man belongs to Carner Barcelona’s Fresh Collection and is explicitly tied to Dalí’s Homme Figuier. The bottle follows the house’s signature design language, including its distinctive wooden cap. It is an eau de parfum and is still in production.
