About This Fragrance
Diptyque Philosykos is a landmark fig fragrance, launched as an eau de toilette in 1996 and later as an eau de parfum in 2012. Its name means friend of the fig tree in Greek, and the scent is inspired by the founders' summer memories on Mount Pelion.
Scent Profile
It opens with green fig leaf and young fig, moves into milky fig sap, and settles into fig tree wood, white cedar, and black pepper. It is not merely a fruity fig perfume; it smells like the whole tree, including shade, sap, bark, and leaves.
Who It's For
It suits spring and summer daytime wear, linen, white shirts, quiet holidays, and people who enjoy green lactonic woods rather than sweet fruit. The EDT is lighter, while the EDP is woodier and spicier.
