Both the EDP and EDT smell weak to me, and the Parfum barely lasts three hours; it smells too green. I’m looking for a sweeper fig, like ripe fruit, not the leafy kind. The Eau de Toilette smells a bit sweeter and more fruity, but it still gives me that fresh green vibe I don’t want, plus it doesn’t last at all.
I agree with you, both are quite weak. If you get the chance, try Premier Figuier by L’Artisan Parfumeur; I think it’s closer to what you’re looking for. It’s fig but not so fresh, more milky because the coconut milk nuances it and makes it sweeter.
Hi Annie01! Welcome to Fragrantica in Spanish! I invite you to visit our forum to share comments, questions, and concerns about this fragrance, where we can guide each other. I also recommend posting your review of Premier Figuier (very good by the way) on that fragrance’s profile so the community can read it, as not everyone will have the chance on the Phylosikos profile. Anything, we’re at your service; you can send us a PM to the moderators or me, or raise questions directly in the forum. I send you a warm greeting from Mexico! Best, Gaby – Administrator.
Sweet and wet fig scent, in the line of Kerylos Garden (I like this one more) or Premier Figuier. Its problem is that it lasts a breath and has less strength than a choirboy in a Scottish pub, but hey, not everything can be perfect.
EDT Review: A very pleasant fig fragrance, sweet yet green and fresh at the same time. You can perceive the fig with fruity sweetness, the leaves with a green touch, the coconut with a fresh milky sensation, and the woods. It seemed quite linear, with not much evolution. At most, it loses some of its initial sweetness and ends up greener and more woody. Disastrous performance: at best 4 hours on the skin before disappearing, with just enough projection. Indicated for temperate climates and totally unisex, since the fig and coconut give it a feminine touch while the woods provide a masculine base. Although the scent is good and very natural, it didn’t fully win me over, especially due to the terrible performance on my skin, even expecting less for this type of perfume. The price doesn’t help either.
EDT review: very pleasant fig fragrance, sweet yet green and fresh at the same time. You can smell the fig with fruity sweetness, the leaves with a green touch, the coconut with a fresh milky sensation, and the woods. It seemed fairly linear, not much evolution; maybe it loses some of the initial sweetness and ends up greener and woodier. Disastrous performance: at most 4 hours on the skin before disappearing, with just enough potency. Suitable for temperate climates and totally unisex, as fig and coconut give a feminine touch while the base woods are masculine. Although the scent is good and very natural, it didn’t quite grow on me due to its terrible performance, even for an EDT, and the price doesn’t help either.
I like it. Starts very green with crushed fig leaf. Gradually it sweetens into a pleasant coconut scent that then turns woody. It’s ideal for summer, but you have to like coconut. For spring and summer, for daytime. Moderate longevity and soft sillage.
For lovers (and I’m one) of the vegetal fig scent: leaves, wood, and fruit. It’s ethereal, fresh, delightfully fruity, and has subtle sweet nuances. It doesn’t smell synthetic and has excellent botanical greenery. It smells like Mediterranean nature, like freshly picked figs in a basket under an ancient fig tree overflowing with leaves and hard wood effluvia. It’s the fig fragrance I like most: fresh, leaning towards warm atmospheres but great with sporty, comfortable clothes. I heard it’s weak on performance, but on my skin it lasts all day with a pleasant sillage. I spent hours arguing with a saleswoman who said fig doesn’t smell; I say it does—the ripe fruit has a creamy, sweet aroma that this perfume captures very well. A rich perfume, with luminous and special vibes. Fig lovers must not miss this. Happy New Year!
A charming proposal from Diptyque. I tried the EDT and was struck by the realism of the opening: a fig leaf, very green, nothing synthetic, that hits your nose the moment you apply it. Gradually, the leaf sweetens, acquiring a precious, delicate fig-and-coconut scent. I liked it a lot, except for the poor longevity and, above all, the weak projection. Otherwise, it’s incredible. Totally recommended if you don’t mind carrying an EDT for intimate use; if you want to turn heads, this isn’t your perfume.
A lovely proposal from Diptyque. I tried the EDT and was struck by the realism of the opening: a very green fig leaf, nothing synthetic, that hits the nose instantly. It gradually sweetens, gaining a precious, delicate fig-coconut scent. I loved it, except for the low performance and weak projection. Incredible if you don’t mind using it for intimacy; if you want to turn heads, it’s not for you.
Incredible, but since I discovered the Esenzzia dupe, I stopped buying the original because it’s a millimeter-perfect copy; I think it’s really overpriced.
The green fig leaf opening is hyper-realistic. Then the fig scent emerges. It’s an intimate fragrance with no sillage, but if you’re looking for impressive natural realism, this is your perfume. It smells exactly like fig leaf and fig.
Its green opening to a fig leaf is hyper-realistic. Then the fig scent appears. It’s an intimate fragrance without a trail, but for anyone who loves the impressive realism of nature, this is their perfume. It smells like a fig leaf and a fig.
Fig is the best note I’ve ever smelled in a perfume: super natural and instantly transports you to summer afternoons under a fig tree. It’s sweet but not cloying, very wearable. Just for fig lovers, as it captures the scent of leaf, fruit, and wood in every phase: top, heart, and base.
A work of art. Conceptual and pursuing extreme realism. Green at first, it becomes woody over time. In the mid-stage, the fig appears. Despite being green, it’s not fresh; instead, it has the astringent character of a fig leaf, dry and irritating. A very summery scent, reflected extraordinarily. I’ll say something provocative: the first two or three seconds suggest a box of peaches to me. Then the fig takes over. A great perfume. Its flaw: scarce longevity, no more than two hours. By afternoon, there’s no trace left on my skin.
A conceptual work of art pursuing extreme realism. Green at first, it becomes woody over time. The fig appears in the dry-down. Despite being green, it doesn’t smell fresh due to the astringent character of the leaf, which is dry and irritating. It’s a very summery scent, extraordinarily well captured. Provocative: the first seconds suggest a box of peaches, then the fig dominates. Great perfume. Its flaw: scarce longevity, no more than two hours; by afternoon, there’s no trace on my skin.
I was eager to try it, and after two days of use, I confirm it’s the most realistic fig leaf scent I’ve ever smelled; the quality is noticeable. Then it blends with realistic coconut and ends up slightly woody. The green leaf note dominates at first, followed by coconut. The problem is the weak sillage and projection: it lasts on me for more than 8 hours, but no one can smell it after the first 45 minutes. It’s for personal enjoyment, and that disappoints me. I’ll update later.
Creamy fig! As is Diptyque’s tradition, it creates a realistic artistic expression. It smells like when you cut a fig and that white milk comes out, which you rub on your fingertips, with an infinite resemblance. As it dries, that creaminess fades and woodiness enters, an exceptional combination. I don’t perceive green fig, leaves, or coconut; that milky aspect is the beauty, not the fleshy smell of a ripe fig. It evokes a walk through a fig field on a cool afternoon. Longevity isn’t the best, but with 8-10 sprays it lasts and delights. There’s nothing like this nature in the market.
It simply smells like a fig, just like a fig. Green, astringent, and intense scent, masculine. As an experience, it’s incredible, but as a perfume, it’s not for me: too intense and unpleasant to walk around smelling like a fig.
Delicate and well-constructed aroma. Fig, coconut, and milky notes dominate (it’s fruity, fresh, and creamy), highlighting a subtle apricot skin scent that lingers. I consider it rich, naturalistic, fruity, and green, unisex, and balanced. The downside is its reduced sillage, making it more intimate, but it stands out for its peculiar and non-generic scent.
I always hesitated to try it because of the fig, but this Diptyque deserves its recognition and is one of the best in its type. It smells like a fig tree and fruit with a slightly rough touch (maybe coconut), lightly sweet, and woody base. It’s green, refreshing, and calming. It’s an excellent counterpart to Fico di Amalfi and Noble Fig by Ferrari. Great value for money, dense aroma, and good performance. Perfect for warm climates. Worth trying. Rating: 8/10.
I love figs, but this isn’t for me. It smells like a fig tree with grass and earth; the coconut isn’t as present. I expected something fruitier and sweeter, but it focuses on the tree. It opens green and fresh, with crushed leaves and juniper, almost like morning dew. As it dries, it softens into a woody, milky mist. Low sillage, medium longevity (6h). I wouldn’t buy it, but the unique olfactory experience is worth it.
Philosykos is a super-linear, transparent unisex, perfect for spring and summer as a versatile option because it doesn’t project much. More than a fig scent, it’s a hymn to lactones: milky, coconutty, peachy, and apricot-like. If I describe it less chemically, it smells like unripe peach: green fruit, not very sweet, creamy, astringent, and slightly woody, with a wax pencil texture. Being high quality, it lasts about 8 hours, though the trail is timid. It doesn’t kill, it’s extremely comfortable, useful, and very special among fig perfumes, which tend to be sweet. My favorite way to wear it is layering with Un Jardin en Méditerranée by Hermès, because the astringency of UJeM blends exquisitely with the creaminess of Philosykos. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 7/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 6/10

Love at first sight… Amidst so many gourmands that smell the same, Philosykos is an oasis of freshness and naturalness. All the beauty of a fig with earth, what a wonder it is in a bottle. It’s addictive. Now I’m saving so we never run out.
I’d been searching for a scent that captures the full, perfect roundness of a fig tree—that summer fragrance, the tranquility, afternoons spent reading, and just life as it happens. Something that transports you back to childhood and small-town days. I’m not sure if I’ve found it in this Philosykos, but it is a good fig perfume. You spray it and a supreme fig tree comes to mind, realistic to the point of being unbelievable. Green, sweetly fresh, with a sense of shade, heat, and summer. Clean. It’s a creamy white-and-green fig impression that evolves into brown, a soft wood that never abandons that greenery. The overall impression is cleanliness, warmth, and creamy transparency. Very natural. But… it costs a fortune and doesn’t last. You can’t pay that price just to smell yourself. It’s a huge shame, and I have to say it out loud.
At first, I thought it was another one, but trying it in-store was a disappointment: the fig smells like a zombie, with a synthetic coconut base that gives it a fake aftertaste. It reminds me more of Goutal’s Ninfeo Mio or Paula’s Ibiza. For the price, there are better options. Edit: the seller was dry, but a week later I feel cleaner; not on skin, what a pity.
I’ve been looking for a blend that captures the round, perfect smell of the fig tree, the scent of summer, tranquility, afternoons spent reading, and just what happens without more. Something that catapults you back to childhood and the countryside. I’m not sure if I’ve found it in this Philosykos, but it is a good fig perfume. You spray it and a supreme fig tree comes to mind, realistic to the point of being inconceivable. Green, fresh, and sweet, with a sensation of shade, heat, and summer. Cleanliness.

I’ve loved Philosykos since I first smelled it years ago, but I’ve also hated it (well, ‘hated’ is strong, I was more annoyed). I had it, stopped buying it, and came back for a whim and my love for figs. Now I remember my anger over the longevity. How can an EDP not last even 3 hours at that price for 75ml?
On my skin, the fig note takes over everything; it’s too sweet for me, perhaps due to the coconut which gives a milky touch. It gives me the sensation of sticky hands after eating figs, so realistic. It’s not cloying, but rather astringent and transparent. It seems very natural and light, but it has a major flaw: the performance is scarce, really scarce. What a pity.
I bought a sample and tried it today. It smells incredibly plant-like, achieved at 100%! My boyfriend says: ‘It smells like a plant. It’s a pleasant and characteristic scent, but so much so that I associate it with a plant, not a person.’ I give it a 7.8. I like how it smells, but I won’t rate it higher due to that psychological factor. I still haven’t decided whether to add it to my collection; I need to keep testing the sample to be sure. The scent was intense but softened quickly (though it still smells like a plant, haha).
The best I’ve tried for recreating fig in all its glory: from the herbal notes to the sweet and fresh fruitiness. A very pleasant experience. It’s a personal delight due to its uniqueness and low projection; the longevity is much better than the EDT version.
Spectacular. It delivers 100%: opens super green with leaves, and within seconds you feel a giant fig with a subtle creamy coconut touch. It’s a delight for men or women. Incredible. I have the 10ml vial and I’ll get the big bottle as soon as I can.
A green masterpiece. The EDP is the best fig perfume I’ve ever tried. It comes out green and fresh, juicy and alive, with a subtle coconut that makes it creamy and refreshing—perfect for summer. The best part is its evolution: after the luminous opening, a spectacular base of leaves and wood remains, deep yet light, without any cloying sweetness or vanilla. Everything is clean, vegetal, and genuine. The quality is unquestionable; you can feel Diptyque’s care. For those who love green and natural scents, it’s a solid 10.
If you’re looking to smell like a tree, this is a perfect recreation: trunk, leaves, and fruit. It’s very green; I ordered a decant expecting the fruit’s sweetness, but it turned out nice and fresh, not sweet.
I tried it in-store and was speechless: it captures the whole fig—fruit, leaves, and wood—super natural. I compared both versions and I’m sticking with the EDP. If you’re a fig fan, buy it without hesitation.
Nailed it perfectly: fig leaf, sweet fruit, and a woody trunk base. It’s charming and unisex. The only thing holding it back is that I would have loved a creamier touch.
