The Story
Philosykos is a green, woody fig scent that captures the entire fig tree—leaves, fruit, and sap. It opens with fresh fig leaf and green notes, then softens into a creamy coconut-infused heart, resting on a woody base of cedar and tree sap. This discontinued gem is a cult favorite for its natural, photorealistic take on the Mediterranean.
