Philosykos has been on my wish list for a long time, and now it’s finally in my collection!
Although I was aware of its longevity, I still decided to go for it. Why? Because I have reached a point in my perfume journey where I am okay with a scent not accompanying me all day; where, alongside all my “Beast Mode” fragrances that cling to me even the next day, I also want something light and short-lived; because I simply want to enjoy the scent for the moment and not extract the maximum from it.
The EdT is pure fig… anyone who has ever smelled a fig tree will immediately know what I mean: from the fruit, to the leaves, to the fig wood - you truly get the whole tree here. And this scent reminds me of my childhood in the south, where fig trees can be found on every corner and the smell lingers in the air during summer.
I consciously chose the EdT and not the EdP because the coconut (although not listed, but I personally smell it) bothered me in the EdP, and the whole fragrance took on too creamy a direction.
Where and when can I imagine wearing this scent, or where would I wear it? On vacation or in the summer evenings when you’re out with friends and just want to smell pleasant. But also on colder days when you want to feel a bit of summer on your skin. Or like me: when you simply want to indulge in memories of the beautiful summers of the past.
Despite the longevity, I think this scent deserves a chance - I believe many will not regret it.
