Avgoustos

This is not sugar-sweet fig (as in cooked fig - the Greek spoon sweet), but it's not bitter or stale (the way fig smells to me in other perfumes I've tried like KKW "rare fig" which was stale on me - had to sell it). This is a lemony green fig, as bautifully "dark" as fig usually smells to me, without the sugar of a ripe fig. It is a leafy green musky scent, very refreshing for the August heat (Avgoustos - gotta love our Greeklish lol), and without being bitter or straight up sour, it is rather smooth fig and lemon leaves. It reminds me alot of Electric by Agent Provocateur which happens to have bergamot, fig, lemon and the "tree" element to it as well (fig tree there) so my nose did not trick me, but Electric is very very sour green while Avgoustos has a soft and smooth green lemon scent of the tree's leaves. It is sweet enough from the mandarin to smell feminine (but it can also be unisex). I get a subtle sweet solar vibe here from the orange blossom right away and even though I am not crazy about orange blossom being too salty on me, here it smells so attractive and aromatic paired with the green essence of bergamot and a touch of lavender which adds a soapy element to the scent as it settles on my skin (kinda like that of BBW Sea Salt Coast but not powdery as that one). The opening is rather leafy green, a realistic smell of lemon tree leaves, even before the fig scent develops on me, it totally reminded me of when we were kids and my brother and I would climb up our big lemon tree to grab some lemons. I guessed that there is a lemon tree leaves note before I checked the notes. The ambergris doesn't render it too salty, but it adds a nice sea-breeze/coastal air type of aroma to the herbal smell. It is a very calming scent. It brings back childhood memories when we would take our bicycles at our village in Antirrio and go fig picking on my grampa's field. We were under the cool shade of all these big fig trees in the summer heat with a soft breeze from the Greek sea. Korres summer perfumes make me so homesick I just wanna get on a plane and never look back lol. It's intense green at first and it quickly develops into a feminine soft and slightly soapy scent while retaining its green fig and lemon tree essence. During its last phase it's more unisex, woody and musky, like fig mixed with the sea breeze, like when the sun went down behind Paliovouna/Klokova mountain and we were still playing volley in the sea, man I need to go pack my life in a suitcase and fly back. I love this perfume and all its stages, but it makes me so nostalgic. It lasts about 2-3 hrs on me depending on how much I put on.

EDIT: Now that I have more experience with fig/ fig leaf, I can say that it is very nicely pronounced in this bottle. When I initially wore this, I thought the fig notes faded quickly, but in actuality they linger and the scent persists. I also now own a bottle of Acqua di Parma's Fico de Amalfi, a classic fig scent. Whereas Fico de Amalfi is very centered around the juicy citrus fruits plus fig, Avgoustous is very centered around woods and figs. Avgoustos has a cleaner profile and can be worn in even hotter temps than Fico di Amalfi. I personally prefer the scent of Avgoustos. Another note is that Avgoustos performs much better with longevity. Avgoustos has moved up from being a strong like to a love. Original: At the end of my sojourn to Greece, I came upon a Korres shop. Korres, although sold in Greece at local pharmacies, holds a higher standing overseas, sold in America at Sephora or specialty beauty shops. I knew I had planned to purchase a bottle or two and selected Avgoustos. Translated “August”, the inspiration is the wild figs that are in full bloom around Greece in August. Beautiful imagery. I absolutely adore the opening of Avgoustos. The citrus and fig burst out at the opening. The citrus is mentioned as bergamot and mandarin; it is a juicy, not too tart, citrus. There is greenness as well, likely from the lemon tree leaves and fig. All too soon, the juicy, figgy, woody, scent disappears and we are left with a cedar dry down. The cedar plus a hint of green linger for several hours so the longevity is not terrible for a citrus scent. However, the fig and citrus disappear much too soon. Although listed as ingredients, I don’t pick up any ambergris or lavender.

I bought this, blind, as I liked the smell of Hermès Un Jardin en Méditerranée overall but wasn't totally sold on the performance or the coniferous backdrop, didn't fancy splashing out on Acqua di Parma Fico either (especially since it looked as if it might lack woody backbone), let alone Philosykos, but was still in the market for a fig frag and liked the look/sound and price point of this one. Given the partial note overlap with it, I also had an inkling that this might be a little like a fig edition of Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli, along with the Hermès another borderline-aquatic Mediterranean fragrance that I've not found totally thrilling (because to a large extent it's citrus, neroli and wood, and can be reminiscent of nothing more appealing than quality furniture polish). I'm delighted to say that this smells exactly as I hoped, i.e. like a big old dollop of lactonic, buttery, yet unmistakably cooling, fresh, fruity fig billowing in and out against a thoroughly complementary light, borderline-aquatic backdrop of Mediterranean citrus grove. The fig has adequate staying power, too. Given that this is, as I understand it, literally a drugstore fragrance, I think it's also astonishingly good, as is the value if you can source it without paying too much. I look forward to layering this with the Bvlgari if I don't just sideline that in favour of this.

I did not have big expectations, but Korres is 2/2 for me so far. No misses. (the other being Aegean Bronze) I really like Fico di Amalfi but it's more expensive in my country compared to rest of the world, but when I compare these two side by side, there are little differences that bat no eyes and very few people could tell the difference. Opens up very citrusy and bright but not alcoholic at all. Lavender and citruses balance each other out and since it's an edt, mid notes come forward rather quickly. In 2 mins time, this fragrance becomes all about fig. Fig fruit, fig leaves, stems and the fig tree itself. This projects beastly in the first half hour but then dies down to a medium projecting but still making itself felt scent. This is rather long lasting compared to other Korres fragrances, I get like 5-6 hours of detectable scent cloud with this, and since it contains musks, amber fixatives and creamy woods, it is expected. Does not come off your clothes and I can smell it in my laundry basket strongly because of amber fixatives I think. Hope at some point this gets a stronger flanker such as an EDP or EDT intense, because there is so much potential. Korres is the real deal for summer scents. 9.50/10 for my liking. And don't sleep on the poems that Korres puts on the back of the bottles, they may seem cringe but it is a nice touch imo.

A scent reminiscent of a greek vacation. It's not exactly "just a fig fragrance", not at all actually, there's lots more. I kinda hoped for it to be mainly all about the fig notes, but I don't mind the other ones at all. No matter how hard I try, I just can't find nor smell the lavender note, perhaps it's hidden in this "musky, white-floral scent" that is most significant in the drydown. The orange-blossom note is quite sweet, but it just fits this fragrance like a glove indeed. In the background, there is a bit of that "citrus bitterness", which makes it suitable both for women and men, but I'd still more likely recommend this to a woman rather than a man. All the fig notes are very natural, it's not that "sweet, cheap feminine fig scent", it leans more to the natural sort. The longevity is shockingly poor on me, it lasts 3 hours at most, then it becomes just a skin scent, but I guess that's what should be expected of an EDT. For a light, slightly fresh fig scent, the sillage was surprisingly good, although nothing groundbreaking as well. I find this fragrance very, very versatile, but please, don't wear it during winter time, enjoy this scent when the sun's still shining bright. Overall a 7/10 for me.

Being a fig lover and having worn Dune by Dior since 2009, I was taken by surprise when I blind bought this one. I can say both are “happy” “solar” and “open” scents, yet they are different. Avgoustos is a fresh green fig with a very nice musky dry down. The musk/cedar notes on my skin reminds me of CK One but better. The fig here is leafy rather than fruity (although I can feel the aroma of ripe figs in the very opening, the leafy/woodsy parts of a fig tree are the strongest notes) and I would say it is a linear fragrance. Discreet, it smells like a good shower/clean clothes/body lotion combo, which is nice for an everyday scent, haven’t tried it yet on colder days but it smells lovely on hot ones. Definitely unisex. EDIT: Just bought a 10ml bottle from Philosykos EDT by Diptyque and it’s very similar to Avgoustos. Philosykos is greener and dryer, not so musky but milky on the skin. Avgoustos is fresher, fruitier and warmer, but in terms of projection and longevity both are the same for me. I wouldn’t buy a full bottle of Philosykos EDT having Avgoustos at home as they present fig similarly. Will try the EDP though.

I was in search of a daily summer scent when I saw Korres perfumes online and I had almost forgotten that they make fragrances also. This was a blind buy as having grown up near the Aegean Sea and visited Greece often, the brand and note profile felt like the definition of “summer” to me. It’s comforting — like spending all day swimming, then coming home and resting under the trees before your evening shower. The opening is slightly masculine, with lavender and bergamot. After a few minutes, orange blossom and fig come into action, softening the scent while keeping that aromatic feel. The drydown is fresh and cozy thanks to musk and cedar. Longevity isn’t great on my skin, but I’m curious to see how it performs on others or with layering. All in all, this is a great unisex spring/summer fragrance at its price point. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for something uplifting and easygoing — especially when you want to blend in with the warm, breezy atmosphere.

Smells like eating an tropical Solero on a sunny day under a blossom tree, next to some freshly-laundered clothes. Lightly sweet citruss, green stems, creamy, and fresh.. I want to say it's got a hint of fabric softener without turning people off - it's subtle and bright and not at all soapy. Performance: on skin, pretty poor, to be honest. Maybe an hour on a good day, but it's priced well so I don't feel too bad reapplying. On fabric it performs a little better. This may be a big con, I can't actually smell that much fig in this. It's there in the middle, but it's fleeting. If you're looking for a cheaper Philosykos alternative, this might scratch the itch in terms of vibes, but it's definitely not as fig-fruity as that (though not much is). The way people experience scents is so interesting, as I get mainly sweet mandarin, green stems and orange blossoms and others can only smell fig.

this perfume is fascinating to me. it's not as "summery" as I imagined, as the scent is neither fruity nor aquatic, but rather a bit dusty and a bit herbal. I've worn this in all seasons, and in the fall and winter it almost gives me an academic vibe, with a fresh, eucalyptus-like effect, but in the warm weather it's slightly jammier. definitely leans masculine, with the lavender and cedar notes, but it's really so unique and well blended that I wouldn't be able to place any particular notes if I smelled this out and about. this doesn't smell like a traditional perfume or cologne. for whatever reason, every "fig" perfume smells wildly different to me, so maybe you'll feel differently, but i can't compare it to anything!

Such a beautiful & happy scent. It's a Greek summer in a bottle, hence the appropriate name (Avgoustos = "August" in Greek). You get the mandarin & Bergamont burst to open, and then the fig comes in to add some greenery to the fragrance. Unlike Philosykos, which has an ultra realistic fig leaf / fig tree smell, this actually smells like a perfume, whilst not being synthetic. Don't get me wrong, I love Philosykos too, but it's quite a niche fragrance & not something everyone would associate with a conventional perfume. Whereas in Avgoustos, the mandarin & bergamont works so well alongside the fig-fruit and woody base. I love it, the only negative is that it just doesn't last long enough.

This is really, really good for a light unisex summer scent. And you can find it for around $20/50ml. Crazy cheap for the quality. You would almost think this was a Diptyque, Acqua di Parma or Phlur fragrance. Light and citrusy and perfect for warm weather. Gives that Mediterranean summer vacation vibe for sure. Huge bergamot/lemon opening and dries down to a nice citrusy/woody/musk. The fig definately hangs around. Surprisingly long lasting for a $20 drugstore EDT. This is a perfect dumb reach summer vacation fragrance. I bought it in Athens, Greece last week and it was a perfect fragrance for my vacation. VERY unisex. My wife, teen daughter and I all wore this in Greece.

First of all, like the other Korres EDTs, a beautiful bottle – minimal, heavy, satisfyingly clicky cap, beautiful color. The scent itself starts of like a really green fig plant (not the fig itself), not very sweet, perhaps a bit "herbal / medicinal". When wearing it however, I do get a similar feeling to BDK 312 Saint Honore: it does not smell the same, but has that same sophisticated "academic" vibe which is hard to explain. Perhaps it could be described as someone who applied Saint Honore in the morning, then went out for a walk on the Greek Coast, and now ventures into the library after having a desert with figs and spices. Reads very unisex to me, beautiful scent.

Avgoustos is an ice-cold, citrus fig in a sun-bleached lemon grove by the sea. I think the cooling sensation is owing to the citrus and lavender combo, which comes off slightly minty. The citrus is juicy and leafy; the fig fruity and milky. It took me back over 20 years to my first visit to the Greek Islands. Thassos. Absolutely gorgeous. It's not strong or overly long lasting, and I don't care about that. It's an edt and I will be more than happy to respray through these hot days to cool myself down. Lush. Edit: I bought the 50ml size but I will be grabbing a 100ml because 3 days in, I can't stop picking this up and respraying

It’s a beautiful skin scent. Super intimate in a good way. I’m happy it’s not loud you’d have to be brushing my hair behind my ear to catch it and it’ll stay on your mind. The dry down smells like you’re eating fig. Kind of reminds me of my grandma not in an old lady way it’s making me think about how she’d have these red henna dyed braids and her white roots would be peeking out. Perfect for summer in Djerba or Hammamet—anywhere in the Mediterranean really. I wouldn’t even say it’s unisex it totally transcends that term in a way. It just is. I’d only put this on while wearing cotton.

I didn't think Cashmere Kumquat could be beat, but Avgoustos might have done it! Well, maybe not quite but it's gorgeous. It really brightens my mood on first sniff and I feel like I can accomplish my dreams. I really get the fig and lavender at first and then a lovely orange blossom and musk blend. Despite the longevity "issues" I just have never smelt anything else that is so light and pleasing the way Korres has managed. Plus, I just prefer an intimate scent so these are such a good fit for me. I swear I'm dreaming of a Greek vacation just to pick up their whole line.

Its a fresh, citrusy scent when sprayed, and I almost feel a subtle note of leather, for some reason. But the drydown is like a delicious, creamy, powdery embrace. If you like powdery scents like me, this is perfect. I first discovered this scent on a greek friend, and I though she had some La Roche Posay cream on her, because the scent is very similar to their products. I always loved how they smell, so to find a perfume that has the same scent was spot-on. If you like how La Roche lotions smell, you'll love this. It lasts at least 8hrs on my skin.

I found this gem in a pharmacy store in Preveza this summer. I really love fig-based fragrances such as Diptyque Philosykos and Jo Malone Fig & Lotus, so I instantly fell in love with this one. The fig note is the dominant one and it's done so well. Korres is a Greece pharmaceutical brand and I was so surprised when I saw that they have their own line of fragrances. Anyways, the name of this perfume is really suiting, because it beautifully expresses the essence of August in Greece and Mediterranean in general.

avgoustos opens up with a bright citrus note. when initially settles onto your skin it smells very green to me! maybe 40 mins or so later it starts to smell like a juicy fig on my skin. i love the complexity of this fragrance except i wish i could have more longevity :( if i spray it on my skin, i get ~2-3 hours before it fades away. however, on clothes or bedsheets, i can smell it lingering maybe for ~12 hours or so. overall, beautiful fragrance

This is one of those scents that I just can’t get enough of. It’s so evocative of summer in Greece and I can’t quite figure out why! Hours later I keep getting pulses of the scent and have to sniff myself! It starts off a lot more citrus but settled to a musky powdery mix with a hint of lavender to me. I agree it’s perhaps a little more feminine that I’d usually wear but its beautiful so I’m ok with that.

Absolutely adore this one. Main note for me is lavender and dry grass with some muskiness. Only a hint of that fig sweetness that was promised, though. Very aromatic, green, herbal, and does remind me of my trips to the Mediterranean. The sillage and staying power is poor, yes, but I prefer intimate perfumes anyway. Great scent with a great price.

I wanted something new and easy to wear for summer. I blind bought this one. I love it for summer day time. It is so cozy and calming - like a vacation. Opening is just beautifully addictive. It does get a bit soapy on my skin by 2 hour mark as the lavendel is very dominant on me, but in a pleasant way. It is just a reminder to re-apply.

Never tried fig perfumes before, but this one is amazing! Fresh fig and citrus, a bit sweet, but mostly fresh. It smells kinda healing, like I would imagine treating something with a preparation made from natural ingredients that smell like this. I would call it an ultimate wellness aroma! Just great!

An excellent achievement! In my opinion it's the second best fragrance combining fig wood aroma, citrus and cedar – right behind Annick Goutal's Ninfeo Mio. Clearly masculine rather than feminine, I think this is the best Korres perfume at the moment. A real revelation!

A lovely green fig! It doesn't last long, but that's expected for an EDT. The dry down is a fig leaf and orange blossom. Lovely, unisex, fresh without being soapy or sharp citrus.

I blind bought this based on the note description and it has hands down been my favorite scent of the summer. milky, green, and soapy 💚

It's beautiful. It smells like lemon and fresh fig (not overly ripe). The scent strongly reminds me of Fico di Amalfi in the best way.

A must have 10/10 for me.. very summery just like the name if August had a smell that would be it.

Totally surprise- on my body very close to Father figuer from Phlur, very nice in hot weather!

To me, this smells like if Phlur's Father Figure and Byredo's Bal D'Afrique had a baby. LOVE.

By all means a lovely summer scent that takes you back to Greece! 10/10 dna!

Smells like Caudalie moisturizing body oil, love it

Makes me think of Oum Kulthum's music

This is an underrated masterpiece.

smashed fig, juicy and green af

An excellent perfume for summer. It really evokes summer vacation vibe, hot weather and breeze from the sea and sipping ice cold drinks. I get different results when I test it on paper and on my skin. My conclusion is, I love the opening on paper, but how it develops on my skin. I prefer the drydown on my skin. I was attracted to the opening when I tested it in the store. Neroli is dominant, clean and soapy, but well mixed with the sour juicy citrus and green herbal fig. The opening reminds me a bit of Hermes's Jardin sur le Nil. I immediately label it as a summer vacation perfume. However, on my skin I only get neroli and fig, no citrusy notes, which is disappointing. After 10 to 15 minutes, the fig gets more and more attention on paper. Here I get more fig leaves than fig fruit. It is green and fresh, similar to freshly cut grass. I can picture myself standing under a bitter orange tree or lying on grass, feeling calm and relaxed. However, on my skin it develops into something very different. I get more fruity and sweet notes. It is simply lovely. It reminds me of fruity cocktails, a different kind of holiday vibe. Later the sweetness quiets down, while the soapy neroli comes to the front again. The drydown is somewhat generic, but still very pleasant. I get this clean musk blended well with woody notes, soothing and calming. The longevity is reasonable considering the price. I just hope the sillage could be stronger. I will definitely bring it with me this summer when I am on vacation in Southern Europe.

I used to like this perfume as I was seeking for fig perfume. My quest for fig perfume was soon subdued and so is my love for this fragrance. It smells really great the beginning, with a natural fig note, lemon leaf and some citrus. 95% similar to Fico di Amalfi with maybe a bit more green. Unfortunately after like 30' the synthetic lavender note starts to appear and thus pushes the perfume towards to a kinda harsh and powdery direction. After maybe 1 to 2 hours what remained is powdery musk and some faint smell of fig and lavender. Lavender for me personally doesn't evoke summer, but the top note screams 'summer' so I always have an identity crisis every time I wear this perfume. On hot days it can turn heady and on colder summer or autmn days it can become a bit harsh and cold. The sillage is average and I can't smell it after 2 hours, but if you want an intimate, skin scent then it works. Overall, for the price it is almost the best in the range especially from the house of Korres, but to me it is not something spectacular. Will still keep it for sentiment purpose, and because the top note is quite lovely and an alternative for the pricy Fico de Amalfi, and probably reach for it on not so hot summer days as a freshie.

Tart and sparkling and green. The lavender, mandarin, bergamot...it sings in a happy chorus. As the heart opens with vibrant fig and green lemon tree leaves, this is clean and fresh, like laundry dried on the line in a grove. Casual and carefree. Reminds me of Hanami, Unknown Legend, and Citron Fig; but more natural. Soapy orange blossom tempered with earthy ambergris and cedar. Every element is here and balanced with a juicy and breezy appeal. No heaviness, dampness, sourness. This focuses on citrus and warmth, heightened with a whisper of herbal lavender. It gently wafts from the wrist and brightens the mood, giving you a smile in its glow. The tartness of juicy fig resonates throughout, creating a richness and nuttiness. Like smooth and buttery honey. Lavender and leaves create a fresh accord. Like a warm wind drifting through the sunny afternoon, it swirls around sips of iced cocktails and a stunning view through sunglasses. Or perhaps an afternoon lounging in a hammock. Or on the couch. Beautifully done and effortlessly balanced. This isn't just a tropical or Mediterranean escape; but an invigorating lift. Incredibly affordable. Perfectly unisex. Nicely done.

I bought Avgoustos because it reminded me of Paddywax's Black Fig scented candle which I adore, particularly because (despite the name) it emphasises the fig's greener aspects instead of the overripe sweetness I've found in other fig fragrances. With Avgoustos, the green-ness is even more pronounced through the addition of lemon, and the first spray smells exactly like I've taken fresh lemon leaves and crushed them between my fingers. Then the rounder notes of fig take over and add creaminess. I can't smell any of the base notes or the lavender – for me, the profile is dominated by citrus and fig. It's the most addictive, refreshing scent and, writing this review in midwinter, makes me so nostalgic for summer! Sadly, sillage is minimal and longevity is nonexistent – even after using lotion as a base and seriously overspraying, it lasts maximum 1 hour on me. But it's affordable enough that for me this isn't a dealbreaker.

I have a hot and humid skin type which tends to accelerate perfume development. On me the first impression of Avgoustos is crushed green stems, vividly photorealistic but not bitter. As it dries down it softens into a warm, dry, herbal musk that evokes sunwarmed skin after an ocean swim, and a carefree summer afternoon with a gentle breeze that carries a hint of lavender and golden grasses. The salt is not mineralic, and there's a vague sweetness that has nothing to do with sugar. Its clean but in the manner of an unspoiled environment rather than a freshly-washed way. It is a breath of fresh air taken on vacation. Its absolutely genderless and a fragrance that is worn for oneself rather than others. One for lovers of botanical scents and natural ingredients.

This is the first perfume based on the fig note that I have added to my collection, and I must say I find it excellent. I perceive more of an idea of fig leaves rather than the fruit, but in any case, it is very pleasant and not a very common note, resulting in an original fragrance that doesn’t remind me of others. Once the initial phase passes and it moves into the heart and base notes, I sense a typical trait of Korres perfumes, which is a kind of sweetness that reminds me a bit of caramelized sugar or honey, something sweet and slightly sticky, giving a lovely cozy feel on the skin. This is my second Korres, but I think I will get more: excellent quality, excellent price, and they always elicit compliments.

Unlike many reviewers below, for me Avgoustos goes on as a masculine powerhouse fragrance, and one which evolves with interest from top to base. Fig is not a breezy and fresh note to me, neither leaves nor fruit, and Avgoustos is very figgy and intensely aromatic, green, gauzy and a bit lactonic (Moraceae family - mulberry and fig - have that milky sap). The lavender is good and overall the ambiance is dry, summery and very much a fragrance, not so much a photorealistic affair. The projection to my nose is quite intense and lasts for hours, and I prefer to spray it on my trousers and wear Blu Mediterranean or Monotheme citrus colognes higher. Happy surprise and good value at the 18 USD I paid.

I blind bought this one based on the ingredients list and there's nothing to regret here. The opening is very citrusy, the lemon tree leaves are dominant for me and one might think it leans rather masculine. It's not really the case, however, because the fig notes make their appearance and, to my perception at least, the middle and base remain linear from this point. If anyone knows, Zara Home have in their collection some reed diffuser called "Fig" - Avgoustos smells exactly like that! And that's a good think, really, I love that Zara Home collection and I was always asking why don't they come up with a perfume that smells like that? Well, Avgoustos is that one, finally found it!

Beautiful, photorealistic fig tree; the flesh of the fruit, the stems, the leaves, the bark, the milky sap, everything. This is all I wished Infusion de Figue by Prada would be, and for a fraction of the price. I do not get lemon tree, citrus fruits or lavender. It's very sweet, green and creamy. It reminds me of summers in the countryside. Unisex, leaning feminine. Lasts quite a bit, but is rather intimate. For the price, I really can't complain, especially when there are 200€ colognes that perform the same.

Not a bad fragrance but definetely unisex. nothing masculine about it. Bought it mainly cus its being compared to fico di amalfi which is unisex also. It smells lovely but kindoff like a high quality handsoap. Personally i would more see this as a "womens" fragrance but i believe if you like something you should wear it. The drydown actually has more citrus, might be because of the lemon tree and orange blossom. but the middle notes are banger. I would wash my hands in this.

Happy, creamy notes, with imagery of a stroll along the promenade or the high street, a warm summer breeze, al fresco dining, friends, loved ones, calm, presence. ‘Life is good just the way it is.’ No problemo whatsoever vibe 🙂😌 Overall it is clean, fruity, green-ish, soapy with a touch of powder and natural sweetness. It lasts 6–7 hours on my skin without ever becoming loud. Worn at night, it reveals a complicit, playful, seductive side.

Love to wear this one while im nude wrestling or throwing the clay discus with my lads Konstantinos and Nikolaos. Really gets me in the mood to eat some olives and practice phalax maneuvers. Also helps me focus on contemplating metaphysics and ideal forms. It gives me a real hankering to stare at some columns. Wear this with your tunic and leather sandals I have become man, the featherless biped Its good

I bought this as a budget alternative to Philosykos. This is not fig inasmuch as it is a naked woman sunbaking at the base of a fig tree, orange blossoms growing around the base. The smell of citrus from Argos trails through the salty air and the tree's tangle of leaves, mingling with the silt of the ocean and the sweat on her skin. Deep blue sky, no clouds in sight.

This is so good. Really evokes the feeling of being under a green fig tree. Like a super refined Fico di Amalfi combined with only the good green aspect of Philosykos. Lush, fresh, green but also slightly fruity. The only negatives would be the longevity & projection, but I might be going anosmic to it after a while, so not very sure.

dkin test, going well longevity wise. this is in the rhealm of leaves, lovely hand creams, citrus freshies. swings more male to my nose, then tapers to whatever. sort of the same way tom fords citric scents can swing either way. the scent is a bit non specific now but was good. clean, citric freshie

This is so good! A perfect scent when it’s hot. I had high expectations and at first I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t more lactonic. But now it’s a favourite in warm weather, it’s gorgeous fresh and green. Yes, it’s definitely unisex and no, it doesn’t last all day - but I don’t mind.
