The green diamond
Let me start by saying, figbased scents are usually not my cup of tea. They usually get too cloying for me, but this one from the premium house Matiere Premiere is in a league of it´s own.

The quality ingredients are obvious, it´s so smooth and well blended. It´s a milky, rich fig, green and with an undertone of coconut which gives a beautiful fragrance. I´ve seen comparisons with Diptyques Philosykos, but there´s a woody base here which makes the whole fragrance a natural cross between the aformentioned and Santal 33, just much better in my opinion.

On a personal level there´s a relaxing feeling to this one, makes me want to drift away and just be a part of it, so, so, good. Brings promises of a more relaxed and more natural world.

This is such a wonderful fragrance, primairly for the warmer months but really can be used all year round. I am very impressed with Matiere Premieres offerings so far, natural, classy and with a broad selection of fragrances.

Highly recommended stuff.

Philosykos' chic cousin
Compared to Philosykos by Diptyque, which is the quintessential fig perfume, I think this shares the same green, vegetal fig note but with a modern musky vibe similar to Byredo's Gypsy Water. The longevity and projection are also better, probably because of the ambroxan, but it’s never too much and maintains the fig's fresh and comforting aspects. If Philosykos evokes the countryside, this feels like its chic city-dwelling cousin.

Creamy, soft, delicious, woody fig
I already completely loved this perfume, but a year ago I decided needed a full bottle.

I used my mini splash version of Parisian Musk at work since I was in dire need of something fun, green, comforting but work appropriate for a sunny day.
1 or two hours later a co-worker asked me for some help, so I went to their desk.

While we were talking, she suddenly stopped and said: OH, MY, GOD… What are you wearing? I’m sorry, but you smell SO good I can’t concentrate on what I’m saying. It smells so fresh, soft, but noticeable, yet not loud, smothering or screechy.
I immediately took my mini out of my bag and applied some perfume on her.
The most wholesome thing was that I saw her sniffing at her wrist a couple of times today as well!

A year later, I'm delighted to say that I got a bottle for my birthday! I'm exstatic to have it in my collection since it's the biggest compliment getter I've ever had.

In comparison:
Philosykos is greener, fresher and more realistic fig
Fig infusion is woodier and drier
Fig extasy is drier and greener

Nostalgia Bomb
This fragrance was a complete surprise to me. On paper, the notes didn’t initially excite me. Fig leaf always reminds me of Philosykos Eau de Toilette —pleasant, but not particularly enticing. Ambroxan? That immediately calls to mind Not a Perfume Eau de Parfum —again, not bad, but not something I am getting excited about.

But the way these elements are blended here is just incredible. I think the real star might be the ambrettolide. I’m familiar with the other notes on their own, but I’ve never encountered ambrettolide before, and its creaminess is so unique and addictive.

The initial spray is intense—cedar and fig leaf hit right away, creating a bold green opening. If I had only smelled this on a blotter, I might have walked away. But within minutes, it transforms. The cedar settles into the background, the fig leaf softens, and the musks bring in this unexpected, super-creamy smoothness. It’s the kind of fragrance that unfolds beautifully on skin.

I can already tell this will be perfect for spring. It brings back nostalgia—something about it reminds me of working in San Francisco during that season. Maybe it’s the way urban dwellers in their Philosykos and Marina girls in their gourmands all blended together in the air, creating something effortlessly chic. This scent captures that same feeling—familiar yet entirely its own.

I started with a sample, but only needed to use it once to know it was a must-get for spring. Some online retailers have the 50ml at a really attractive price.

A very nice mix of safe bets
I think that Fig leaves and the fig milk are so pleasant and addictive as smells that it is almost impossible to add their aroma to a scent and not make it become a success.

See: Fico di Amalfi from ADP which has a longevity of 6 minutes how popular it is, especially to the fig note and the citruses too.

I think Santal 33 is one of nicest and natural smelling fragrances on the market so to mix this smooth smell with the fig and add ambroxan to it, it is nothing short of a genius move.

Parisian Musc has also ambrette seeds which will give a musky aspect, like the perfumer says on the website of Matiere Premiere .. so another layer of goodness comes into the discussion.

On the skin or clothes, for me it feels a bit "try too hard" and I am not sure if I really consider this as a fair candidate to be into my collection, but with time I will see if it grows on me.

Diptyque Philosykos mixed with Le Labo Santal 33. Green, creamy, woody, with a hint of freshness. Well-blended with a good performance.

Pleasant fresh Fig on woody base, versatile, unisex, unmemorable, Fig is just not for me. Love Ambrette but not musky enough here imo.

Coconut-y fig not unlike Debaser or Philosykos. Musky & slightly woody. Comforting and gentle, it's like a blanket fort out in nature.

Milky, milky, milky. Fig leaf abrasiveness gives way for a musky-cedar base that sticks for a while. Awesome, inoffensive but nuclear.
