You say you want to travel with perfume? I do it everyday. Yesterday, it was Philosykos from Diptyque. Yes, this a cool fig, green, but also woody. The cedar in this is so realistic that I was instantly at my parents’ cottage where every morning the wooden cedar deck wafts it’s scent as the dew dries. It’s amazing how quickly this took me back to the summer.
I have the edp, which I prefer because I like the peppery-ness of it.Olivia Giacobetti is the perfumer behind this fragrance and she has also created Safran Troublant, which is one of my favourites. Her first fig perfume was actually for L’Artisan Parfumeur a couple of years before this.
Have you smelled this? It’s at the Diptyque counter and fairly accessible.
