Diptyque Philosykos—meaning "Friend of the Fig Tree" in Greek—is universally hailed as the masterpiece of fig fragrances. This iconic scent, launched in 1996 and created by the legendary Olivia Giacobetti, is a transportive journey to a sun-drenched fig grove. It captures the entire tree: the milky sweetness of the fruit, the sharp verdant crush of the leaves, and the dry, warm wood of the trunk.
This Eau de Parfum (75ml) is a truly captivating Unisex aromatic-woody composition. It takes the original beloved concept and enhances the deep, woody, and slightly creamy facets, ensuring exceptional richness and long-lasting wear. The minimalist fragrance structure holds something deeply intriguing and utterly enchanting.
The beauty of Philosykos lies in its harmonious duality: it’s both invigoratingly green and sweetly comforting. The notes of fig accompany you throughout the entire composition, creating a unique signature that is both natural and sophisticated. If you're looking for an evocative scent that carries you away to distant, paradise islands before settling into a warm, grounded reality, Philosykos is the timeless choice for those who love natural, high-quality scents.
Why Philosykos is a Fig Icon (Key Features):
The Whole Tree: Captures the unique scent of the entire fig plant—leaves, fruit, and wood—with incredible realism.
Masterful Creation: Crafted by Olivia Giacobetti, a perfumer renowned for her naturalistic, atmospheric scents.
Woody Depth: The Eau de Parfum concentration emphasizes the dry woods and cedar in the base, providing better longevity and a richer structure.
Unisex Versatility: A refreshing and grounding aroma that is equally captivating and appropriate on any gender.
The Aromatic Olfactory Journey:
The Opening (The Green Snap): The composition begins with a harmonious and unusual blend of the fresh, milky Fig Fruit accented by the crisp, green scent of Fig Leaves. This initial note is instantly vivid and natural.
The Heart (The Escape): The middle of the scent is diluted with the crisp freshness of general Green Notes, which unexpectedly intertwine with the creamy, tropical aroma of Coconut. This combination momentarily transports the wearer to distant, faraway islands.
The Base (The Grounding): The distinctive bouquet is anchored by a heavy, rich, and saturated trail. This is built on the enduring sweetness of Fig (the fruit), the refined sensuality of Cedar, and other smooth Woody Notes.
Philosykos solves the problem of finding a clean, green scent that still offers complexity and exceptional staying power.
