Philosykos Eau de Toilette is a remarkably authentic, green woody fragrance that captures the essence of a fig tree in its entirety—from the leaves and sap to the wood and fruit. It opens with a bold, fresh green burst that feels raw and natural, like encountering a fig tree in a sun-drenched Mediterranean garden. The scent is photorealistic and detailed, with a balance of vegetal greenery, subtle fruitiness, and a clean, slightly soapy, creamy woody base that evokes sandalwood and coconut. While not overly sweet or bold, it carries a delicate, calming freshness that makes it ideal for daytime wear in warm seasons, particularly spring and summer. The fragrance is unisex and minimalist in approach, aiming to embody nature rather than create a gourmand or floral fantasy.
