My Favorite Fig

Aah Philosykos, my constant companion.
I love green and authentic/realistic scents, and this one captivated me right away.
It is not just a fragrance, but an olfactory journey straight into a fig grove under the Greek sun. Here, the entire fig - from the leaf to the fruit to the wood - is captured in an incredibly realistic way.
You can immediately smell the crisp freshness of fig leaves, almost as if you were rubbing them between your fingers. It is a lively, slightly bitter, clear, and fresh opening that instantly conveys a sense of space and nature.
Shortly after, the creamy, milky note of fig juice joins in, giving the fragrance a unique softness.
In the drydown, the woody facets of the fig tree emerge.
The sillage is intimate to moderate, ideal for anyone who prefers a personal scent veil. The longevity is unfortunately just okay.
Nevertheless, "Philosykos" is one of my favorite fragrances; I would even call it my signature scent.
A must for anyone who loves green and natural fragrances.
