Philosykos Eau de Toilette

I love Paris and I love Diptyque. I spent some time smelling all the floral scents and then Philosykos. OMG...I was freaking out it smelled so good. I preferred the eau de toilette because It was not as woodsy as the perfume. The fig scent just lingers and is warm and yummy. Talk about a new favorite as this is mine. Highly recommend!

This is an interesting one. Very green, bright, and (a little) milky upfront, this fragrance transforms within moments of touching you. It's very earthy and fresh right out of the bottle, but as it dries down on your skin it becomes less grassy and more comforting... the fresh sappiness of the split fig tree branches startes to fade into something a bit more creamy and little peppery. Initially I almost disliked it, but as soon as it settled on me I found it intoxicating. Now I fnd myself spraying my bed wth it just so I can fall asleep with the fading scent surrounding me.

I like the leafy green scent but expected more fig. The fig could be more and the leafy green a little less. It's nice but I'm not overcome as I was by diptyque plurielle (they're different though. Plurielle has a cool fresh rose). I expected to be taken on a fragrance journey to some kind of Italian fig orchard or something. It's pretty and subtle and unlikely to offend anyone, I'd think.
