Which Should You Buy?
A greener, drier take on Diptyque Philosykos, French Fig blends milky coconut fig with fresh-cut grass, red pepper, and soft cedar. A skin-close 25 percent parfum for quiet daily wear rather than a statement.
This one's a divisive fig. Some reckon it's a masterpiece, a true-to-life fig tree in a bottle - green, spicy, and perfectly balanced. Others find it synthetically sharp, battling a cloying clash of fruit and spice. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Milky fig over fresh-cut grass and dry cedar reads as high summer and spring; the Coconut and Lactonic accords keep it tropical-adjacent rather than cosy, pushing winter wear off the table.
Occasions
A calm, skin-close fig that sits quietly through daytime wear suits office and casual use; its low projection limits it for formal evenings but makes it a safe daily pick.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for office wear if applied sparingly, while its spicy and dark fig character leans well into confident date and formal settings. The complexity and depth prevent it from being a casual go-to, and its lack of freshness makes it unsuitable for sport.
