Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Philosykos EDP
The reference green fig fragrance: airy, creamy, and evocative of Mediterranean groves. Philosykos EDP is sophisticated yet casual, never cloying, and perfectly balanced for those who want freshness with soul.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Diptyque Philosykos Oil
Green, milky and sun-warmed, a fig oil that sits close and suits long summer days. Fig leaf gives the bite, coconut the cream, and cedar the dry shade, so it never turns sticky.

Season and Occasion Fit

Philosykos

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Philosykos EDP shines in spring and summer when its green, airy, and lightly lactonic fig character feels most natural and refreshing. The lack of heavy sweetness or spices makes it less suited for cold winter or very chilly fall days.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Sport

Its moderate projection and serene greenness work well for office and casual wear, as well as for relaxed daytime dates. The scent's subtlety is less suited to formal occasions or active sports settings, where something either more opulent or more energizing might be preferred.

Diptyque Philosykos

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Green fig and coconut are warm-weather smells. Summer leads and spring follows.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Fresh and gentle, it suits the office and relaxed days. It has too little presence for formal evenings and sport.
