  Wonderful perfume based on fig, very vegetal scent. Unisex. I love it.

  What a pity… Another fragrance that smells supernaturally but fails on longevity. It’s the best fig perfume I’ve heard, sweet, cozy, and sexy; you never get tired of smelling it. But after two hours, nothing is left. I can’t pay 135 euros for such an ephemeral experience. Above 70 euros, I expect it to work, and here it’s almost double that. For throwing money away, we have Croxatto Man. It’s in sad company: from Chanel Allure Edition Blanche to L’eau de Neroli, passing through the old Polo Blue; they smell luxurious but don’t last. It seems that only the ones that smell like lightning bolts last, like Joop, Kouros, or One Million. Sometimes you have to choose between smelling how you want or being noticed by others (well, yourself, because after three hours, you smell nothing). It’s a shame; it looks like a pattern. Luckily, I only ordered a decant. For the scent, I’d buy it tomorrow; for the longevity, never.

  Diptyque is an underrated niche jewel with hyper-realistic scents that transport you, the art of perfumery. Philosykos captures the entire fig environment: from the branch to the pulp. It’s not fleshy fruit; it smells like a plant, a green bush; it starts strong and green, making you feel the tiny hairs on the stem in the sun, a herbaceous tapestry that turns creamy, perhaps due to the fig or coconut used together. It settles sweet, woody, and creamy close to the skin. The flaw is longevity: it lasts 5 or 6 hours, with strong projection at first but then relaxes and stays close to the skin. It’s for personal enjoyment, ideal in heat; it’s not elegant but fits anywhere because whoever wears it feels it. It’s worth trying; it’s singular, and if you like it, close your eyes and let yourself be carried away.

  It smells like a real fig tree, without sweetness or fruitiness, barely woody, all green and realistic. It’s the scent of fig trees at the end of summer; if you’ve ever walked through a forest or near home and caught that aroma… it’s exactly that, achieved with mastery. I see it as an intimate perfume, not to draw attention; it smells good but is very particular. It brings back memories of late afternoon rain, a warm and tranquil feeling, like in an English garden with young people enjoying carefree moments.

  It truly smells like a fig tree, without any sweetness or fruitiness, barely woody, all green and realistic. It’s the scent of fig trees at the end of summer, if you’ve ever walked through a forest or near home and caught that aroma… It’s exactly that, achieved with mastery. I see it as an intimate perfume, not meant to grab attention; it smells great but is very particular. It brings back memories of late summer rain, a warm and tranquil feeling, like in an English garden with young people enjoying carefree afternoons.
