White Fig

This fragrance ends my Fig perfume search. I've tried a lot of fig fragrances in a journey to find the perfect one, but all seemed off. Alluring Fig smelled like a bitter fig branch, Indigo smelled like Fig candy and Fig Infusion didn't smell like fig at all. When I smelled Philosykos EDP I knew it was the one but the price was outrageous. I am happy to say this is Philosykos but (after importing it to the EU) 3 times cheaper. It's a beautiful Fig fruit, sweet, green, dewy, as if picked right from the tree, but not too green, just green enough to make it realistic. Nicely balanced by a delicate coconut and creamy sandalwood. It's very refreshing, best suited for the warmer months. Reminds me of my Greece holidays, walking through a hot, dry little coastal town, with figs growing on the streets, giving the whole place a beautiful aroma. I can't say anything about longevity because i won't be wearing it until summer, but considering most fig fragrances last 4-5 hours max, i'll be happy to pull just that.

A lovely fragrance! It was a blind buy to get free shipping, and I really enjoy it. Fig and woody tones are prominent. Its warm and cozy on me without being vanilla (great for me, as I'm not a huge fan of vanilla). It does have some coconut vibes, but when it heats up a bit, the fig can get kind of date-ey, which could be overwhelming depending on how much you sprayed. As a result, I'd say this wouldn't be a great fit for hot and humid weather, but if your summers are more dry, it could work! Fairly good sillage-- a friend about 6 feet behind me could smell it in the air as I walked past. Projection is good too-- arm's length, but not overwhelming. Probably too much for an office, but it flirts with the line because the scent itself isn't too in your face. For reference, I did 3 sprays (wrists, behind the ears). I haven't smelled the og to compare, but based on how much I'm liking this, I think I'll buy it.

I am actually amazed by how similar they got to the original Philosykos. I am floored. But also so happy. I have a sample of Philosykos, and the realistic fig tree scent just made me so happy. Unfortunately, the price for a whole bottle did not (knowing the longevity of the scent was so short). But Oakcha made this scent available to me for only 35 DOLLARS. Thank you!! Also, the packaging and bottle are very nice. Nicer than some of the pricier ones that I have. I am very impressed.

I haven't smelled Philosykos but this stands alone as an excellent fragrance and scratches my itch to explore this type of scent. It smells like pure green at first, freshly cut grass and tree leaves. The addition of the coconut (notably not in the Diptyque fragrance) is actually welcome for me. It adds a sweet, mellow characteristic that rounds out the greenery in a lovely way. Still, the overwhelming scent is fig tree. Absolutely gorgeous.

If I am in a price bind... this frag is my go to... Diptyque Philosykos both versions are my signature scent. love love love .
