Philosykos

Diptyque · 1996

Fig leaf, fig fruit and coconut, green and milky at once.

Green fig leaf and a ripe, milky fig fruit sit over a soft coconut note. The drydown is dry cedar and woods. It reads like a fig tree in summer and has many followers for that sense of shade.

Fig
Wales Perfumery
£23–58EDP
Lists the same three pillars: Fig, Coconut and Cedar, and the maker describes sitting under a fig tree. Only three notes are listed, so expect a plainer sketch with less of the green leaf.
Shared notes
Alluring Fig
THEODOROS KALOTINIS PERFUMER
€45EDP
Fig Leaf and Fig lead, so the green shade is there. The creamy part comes from vanilla rather than coconut, and no woods are listed, so the dry cedar finish is missing.

Serpentine
Sorce (formerly Sorcellerie Apothecary)
$6.75–150Extrait
Shares Fig, Fig Leaf and Cedar. Caramelized honey, cardamom and vanilla make it sweeter and spicier, with no coconut. An extrait with a ripe, warm fig rather than a shady one.
