Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Philosykos Eau de Toilette

Diptyque's Philosykos EDT is a love it or hate it, hyper-realistic ode to the fig tree. Its delicate, green beauty is often overshadowed by its infamously poor longevity. If you want to disappear as quickly as you spray it, this is your scent.

Our Verdict - The Mountain Standing Still Eau de Parfum

This is a gorgeous tea fragrance for those after something understated and intelligent. The mountain it evokes is cold and still, with a striking mineral edge. Just be warned: performance polarises, with many finding it fleeting, especially given the hefty price tag.

Season and Occasion Fit

Philosykos Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its intimate nature and poor projection make it ideal for office wear, where it won't offend. However, this same lack of presence means it struggles for impact on dates or formal events, though its freshness suits casual and sport use.

The Mountain Standing Still Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its generally subtle projection and clean, calming accords make it ideal for casual wear or the office, where it won't overpower. Its delicate nature might get lost in formal settings, and it's not robust enough for active sport.
