Philosykos
Diptyque Philosykos begins with fig leaf and fig, and does not apologise for either.
How it moves
You meet fig leaf and fig at the door. Underneath, coconut and green notes settle in and take over. What is left hours later is fig tree, cedar and woody notes, and that is the part people follow you for.
What wearers say
4.05 out of 5 across 3,900 ratings — well loved, and not quietly.
- Celebrated as one of the most realistic fig fragrances, capturing leaf, fruit and wood beautifully.
- Natural and green rather than sweet; longevity is considered moderate and skin-close.
- A widely recommended unisex spring-summer staple, praised for its effortless, refined simplicity.
Who made it
Olivia Giacobetti composed it in 1996, for Diptyque in France. Created by Olivia Giacobetti in 1996, Philosykos expands Diptyque's earlier fig soliflore into a full fig-tree portrait spanning leaf, fruit and wood.
