Has anyone made homemade soap with fresh figs incorporated in recipe?

?? 911 has been called. Stay home, they'll fetch you with a white heavy duty shirt :P .
Seriously, now, I'm looking into making jam out of my "Dalmatie" figs. Need to hunt for a recipe. For now I eat them raw ... Delicious ! (most of the times, sometimes a bit bland :) )

If it was for the smell, I'd rather use the leaves. There are fig trees that have a strong smell. The wife sometimes puts her nose in the wind direction...
I know then that there is a fig tree in the area. Curiously, apparently, unproductive fig trees seem to smell stronger . That doesn't help me :( .
But probably would help you in making tea from such leaves and use in the recipe of the soap.

People put all sorts of things in their soap. Personally I have never going past lavender, but there are plenty of recipes for oatmeal, cornmeal, cucumber, mints, etc. I see no reason for not trying figs, except that's one fewer to eat. I imagine the seeds would be a mild defoliant, excoriant.

Fruit would probably go rancid. Leaves would probably work if they are COMPLETELY dried. If you are just after the "essence", you may try filling a large jar with either fruit or leaves - whichever one has the scent you're after. Then, fill the jar with the oil you plan to add to your soap. I can't really tell you how long it takes to infuse the fig essence into the oil... anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months. It helps if you shake or turn the jar once a day. My wife does this with olive oil and calendula flowers to make her goat milk soap.

I have a very fragrant fig tree. I will try to make tea of its leaves to see how they taste.

I make cold process soaps using Goat milk yogurt for sale locally.  I have never used figs, but I have tried many different dried plant herbs and plant material, I would use only dried figs personally.  

I'm totally unsure how this would effect shelf life.  I have actually had some soaps with oatmeal on top mold, so I stopped even though it looked cool on top.

I thought dried rosemary would be a cool additive for a soap, extra exfoliation and such, it was a flop, it turned black and my wife's words were "it looks gross." Same with poppy seeds, looked a little like tiny bugs.  Ground ingredients seem to work better.  I second what cyberfarmer said, if it's the scent your after, infuse in whatever base oils you use or the oils you superfat with. 

If it's the essence your after I suggest dried and ground up in a powder and added like oatmeal.  Interesting, though I doubt I would ever have so many to try it.  Let us know how it works for you.
