This pure encapsulation of the fig, Philosykos, which translates to friend of the fig, is the original and definitive portrait of the fig plant, bringing together not just the fruit, but the wood, soil, and leaves as well. The result is one of the most green, the most fresh,
the most clean, and the most all-around pleasant scents that I have ever encountered. Delicate and crisp without losing the moist green character, fig leaf, wood, and fruit are joined by white cedar which lends to the fragrance its crisp edge. Fortunately, the wood notes merely accent, never failing to work with or steal the focus from the fresh green fig notes that take and hold you right from the get-go. Philosykos is like strolling through a fig grove, like observing a bead of dew roll down a fig leaf. For lovers of fig and for those who wish to become acquainted, Philosykos is just the thing. It should be noted as well that this is Diptyque's best-selling scent.

United by a passion for creativity and design, three artisans became friends and partners. They opened a shop at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain to showcase their avant-garde fabric designs and decorative items from their travels. The trio offered colored candles to match their fabrics, adding perfumed wax. Customers fell in love with the inimitable fragrances. Word traveled. Their cachet grew. In 1963, they introduced the first Diptyque scented candle. In 1968, the first line of Diptyque fragrances was launched. Today, the three Parisian artists are world-renowned purveyors of fragrance and scented candles.
