Not the vacation I'm looking for

This is Philosykos by Diptyque if someone squinted at Philosykos from a great distance - details gone blurry at the edges, only the broad outlines captured against the sun.

I get a brief hint of that beautiful, refreshing leaf-green-and-fig that Philosykos is known for... before the rest of the scent is dropped into a vat of ISO E Super and/or similar aromachemical, both washing away and drowning any of the promise it originally held. I'll grant that it does have a touch more coconut, but the base is otherwise quite similar.

If it were sold for any value under $100 AUD I'd nod to it as a reasonably acceptable dupe. For $179 AUD for a 55ml? Just go buy the original instead.
