Fragrance of a peaceful summer memory

Let yourself be transported to a Greek summer, where the path to the sea winds its way through fig trees warmed by the sun. Diptyque Philosykos refillable unisex Eau de Toilette is a tribute to the entire fig tree: its leaves, fruit and wood. It captures the atmosphere of a sweltering grove under the Greek sun. It makes a green, natural as well as subtly creamy impression. It carries the tranquillity of summer memories.

Composition of the fragrance:
The fragrance opens with the green freshness of fig leaves. A milky note of figs then develops, giving the composition a more delicate and mellow character. In the closing notes, the richness of the white wood comes to the fore, lending the fragrance a calmer and fuller character.

Story of the fragrance:
Diptyque Philosykos Eau de Toilette is based on memories of a Greek summer on Mount Pelion. The path to the sea would lead through a natural wood of wild fig trees warmed by the sun. The name Philosykos means "friend of the fig tree" in Greek. A tree became a source of inspiration; its leaves and a few branches came home in a box of memories.

About the brand Diptyque

The story of Diptyque began in the very heart of Paris, on the Boulevard Saint-Germain, bringing together three friends with the same creative passion. The company’s founders – Christiane Gautrot, Desmond Knox-Leet and Yves Couesland – originally started out in entirely unrelated industries. The first was an interior designer, the second a painter, and the third a theatre director and stage designer.

From designing fabrics and wallpapers together for the Liberty and Sanderson design houses, the trio then opened their own showroom together to present their designs. Yves became the business consultant; Desmond and Christiane were the artistic soul. Step by step, they built a unique space, which, in time, began to offer perfumes and home fragrances alongside their designer home decor. Their lack of experience in the world of perfume was compensated for by enthusiasm. And they succeeded.

Their first Eau de Toilette, simply called L’eau, became an instant classic with their customers. Now you will find dozens of products by Diptyque, many of which were created in collaboration with leading global perfumers such as Fabrice Pellegrin or Olivia Giacobetti. Diptyque perfumes are sensual and intoxicating. They emphasise your sex appeal and give you a true feeling of self-confidence.
