Italian Summer Fig The Body Shop 2015 Eau de Toilette

I got this bottle blind used years ago and have actively worn it again for the last 2 years. I find the scent great. It smells green, and I can also smell the fig the strongest. Yes, the scent is quite linear, but I don't find that too tragic, especially at this price point. The scent smells green like fig. However, I would say it has something creamy, soft, and milky as an undertone. Since this scent is said to be quite similar to "Philosykos (Eau de Toilette) | Diptyque," I took the opportunity to grab a tester of Philosykos in the store
back then. I can't remember whether I sprayed the scent only on paper or also on my skin. However, I found Philosykos to be a bit scratchier, not quite as soft as the Italian Summer Fig. That doesn't necessarily have to be negative. To really compare them well, I would need to test Philosykos a bit longer. Both definitely go in the same direction.

Considering that the scent was probably stored quite poorly before, and also for the first few years with me out of ignorance, it is quite long-lasting. For the first few hours, I can still perceive it at work (a lot of movement), and after my shift, my clothes from the closet still smell of the scent. I find that absolutely acceptable.

Personally, I seem to like green scents and would reach for Philosykos just as much as for the Italian Summer Fig.
