This starts off very as a fresh and sweet, wet and green fig. It's almost like a lovely sunny, beachy scent, only it's better. My favorite fig fragrance, though I am not often found wearing fig...

Philosykos is a light, very natural-smelling dry fig fragrance - a little green, a little coconut-ish, a tiny bit earthy, barely sweet at all. It's the perfect fragrance for someone who doesn't...

Aedes.com describes this scent as "dry," but that's the last word I'd use to describe Philosykos. Wet, it smells like freshly crushed leaves! Incredibly green and fresh and juicy. After about...

I totally agree with Perfectscent: this is an idential smell of a fig tree, and Diptyque is a safe choise if you like natural ingredients in fragrances. Phylosikos smells of a great, light and...

An identical interpretation of figs, green leaves from figs and the tree's milk. If you like green fragrances with a hint of coconutty undertone, this one is a good choice, not many fragrances in...

I'm sitting on the fence with Philosykos, because I think it will be much nicer on me in the summer. At the moment it's a little too stemmy for me - an under-ripe, green fig with some woody notes...

I've worn this occasionally for almost 10 years now and don't think I'll ever use it up. It's a lovely green fig/coconut fragrnace in a nicely designed bottle. The scent is beautiful on the...

My husband's assessment--"a green, hairy stem climbing up a dead cherrywood trunk." Reminded me more of cucumber, before turning into a good rich green scent. Good lasting power.

This is a very nice, watery fig scent in the bottle with some hints of leafy-ness. It smells exactly what freshly sliced figs smell like. However on my skin it turns into a yucky, almost...

I have gone through 3 bottles of this although currently not wearing it. I have got more compliments from men and women on this than any other frag. A gay man demanded to know what it was and a...

Diptyque Philosykos became one of my favorite warm-weather fragrances the second I tried it in the store. I like that it is not a sickly sweet, foody scent but a grown-up, cool, dry fig with some...

Wow, LOVE IT!! I was so skeptical on a fig fragrance and now I am purchasing everything I can that has fig in it. This scent is absoluting FABULOUS!! Most try it, perfect for everyday activities...

I also thought this would be a milky, coconutty fig scent, but all I got is unripe fig and leaves. Not exactly what I'd consider a perfume: figs just don't smell pleasant to me. I do love Napa...

Oh my - I was so excited to try this based on the reviews. I didn't get coconut - or fig. I swear- to me this smells just like a clump of old, wet cut grass. No kidding. Had to wash it off....

Vile. Too green with a chemical undertone. Smells like air freshener gone bad ! I too was hoping for a creamy fig scent. There is nothing creamy or sexy about this. It smells like a grandma scent.

This one broke my heart. I dislike coconut notes in perfume, so I wasn't prepared to swoon at first spritz. It began with a firework of juicy, just-sweet figs, the bitterness of keffir lime...

UPDATED. I don't get any coconut. The first time I tried a sample, it was very dry, evocative and I really wanted to get my hands on a full bottle. However, on second testing (different sample),...

When I lived in Australia I moved into an old share-house in the middle of winter (yes, where I lived there was a winter), and in the back yard was the deadest looking tree I'd ever seen. Imagine...
