A scent reminiscent of walking through the fig groves of sunny Greece.

An imaginary journey through a fig grove, a landscape filled with fragrance. A journey in search of rare ingredients and unexpected combinations. A memory of a Greek summer on Mount Pelion, that’s the unisex Diptyque Philosykos Eau de Toilette. This fragrance is an ode to the entire fig tree, to the green freshness of its leaves, the milky taste of figs and the earthy aroma of the white wood. A throwback to a time when you walked to the sea through sunny groves of wild fig trees.

the scent of figs in all its beauty

Composition of the fragrance
Diptyque Philosykos opens with the honey-sweet aroma of figs combined with green fig leaves. The base notes of the fragrance consist of the warm, woody aroma of cedar combined with sensuous musk. The overall scent masterfully blends green and woody aspects with sweet, milky and fresh aspects, making it fresh, green and wonderfully natural.

Story of the fragrance
Philosykos is inspired by Greek fig trees and hot Greek summers. Philosykos means “friend of the fig tree” in Greek. It represents a journey between the past and the future, between tradition and the avant-garde, to a place filled with history but also new ideas. Diptyque Philosykos is not just a great choice for fig lovers, it will also win over anyone who likes woody, aromatic scents with a very distinctive green side.

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.
