The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1996 by Diptyque, Philosykos Eau de Parfum is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that has become the benchmark for green fig scents. Perfumer Olivia Giacobetti crafted this composition around the vibrant freshness of fig leaves and fruits, blending them with woody notes and subtle coconut accents to create an unparalleled sense of lushness. Philosykos not only defined its own category but also inspired countless subsequent releases from other brands, cementing its status as a true classic.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms gradually, so a light application is recommended. Allow it to settle on your skin for about 15 minutes before reapplying if needed; the initial freshness gives way to rich woody undertones that last throughout the day.

Olivia Giacobetti

Olivia Giacobetti has an uncanny ability to creat an atmosphere. Having completed her training at Robertet, she founded her own perfume laboratory, Iska, and dedicated her career to doing that.

“Echoes of everyday life and nature: fletting emotions, moods, details, attitudes... the many small fragments of life that bear new images.”
