Yes, yes, yes - this is one of the best fig scents ever! So fresh, and not overly sweet. It combines the entire fig tree - the leaves, the wood, the fruit! This scent screams Mediterranean...

Philosykos is my HG summer fragrance. It's the perfect refreshing spritz on my skin: cool green leaves, some creamy fig, and just a touch of sweetness. I feel cooler, fresher, and a bit more...

I sprayed this on me at Neiman's, and at first wasn't sure what it was, but after taking the first whiff, knew it was Fig. VERY GREEN at first and sharp, but dries down to a more bearable scent....

After reading the reviews here, I decided to order a sample of the fragrance from Beautyhabit.com. I love green and outdoorsy scents so I had high hopes for this as my new summer scent....

I'm a big fan of Lush's figs 'n leaves soap, so wasn't too afraid to try this as my first fig fragrance. Wow, it is so, so nice. Not too sweet, warm and outdoorsy. I think I'll try out some of...

This is my first fig-based scent and I'm very pleased w/ it. I was a little nervous at first, what w/ all of the references to coconut (which I am NOT a fan of), but this fragrance surprised me. I...

I had been debating among Philosykos, Premier Figuier, Premier Figuier Extreme, Riviere de Janvier past 2 weeks. The verdict is to Philosykos – fresh and dry-down. Lovely.

I bought a bottle of this on impulse because I adored the Diptique Fig candle. It *is* very like the candle and is certainly a highly original and beautiful scent - green resinous woods and...

I feel nearly forced to give this a four. I like it. I do. I like the creaminess of the fig, the hint of coconut, the whisper of cedar. And that my husband's ancestry is Italian helps too; I'm...

This perfume is one of my favourites. I came across it when a girl I work with was wearing it - I had to know what it was! I bought a bottle and it has stayed as one of my top 3 fragrances. I...

I like the creaminess of this perfume and the coconut accord. This is a really nice fig scent, but the lasting power is so poor. It disappears minutes later. I ended up using this as a room...

I had a 'fig' mad period a few years ago and Philosykos captured it perfectly. It develops really well and is dry, subtle, never overpoweringly sweet as so many of the other fig type scents are....

I just got a nice size sample in a swap and I really like it. There is a very airy essence to this and the fig comes right out on my skin in the drydown. I can see that men may even like the light,...
