Similar DNA. To me this smells like a terrace with a lake view somewhere in Tuscany. If I need „vacation feel“ this will from now on be my go-to!

    This one sounds great - love your description. I will be trying it to recreate the terrace vibes 😍

      Fingers are crossed. Scent is subjective, but to me this one smells like an empty to do-list, no appointments or deadlines, a nice book and the shade of a fig tree to sit under. It really was love on a first sniff!

    As a Philosykos lover I need to try that one! I can’t believe I still haven’t samples Essential parfums

      I really like the ones I’ve tested so far and can without hesitation recommend:- Bois Imperial- Fig Infusion- Orange x Santal- The Musc (although a bit too feminine for me, if you ask my wife…. If you ask me, she just said that to snag the bottle from me 😂) Great value for money and the travel sizes make it easier for me to commit!

    Fig for me is hit your miss. Would you say this is softer than Philosykos? I have that one and sometimes it’s too punchy for me.

      Sorry, this took me a littler longer. I’ve just asked both my wife and my daughter and both said, Philosykos is more feminine, while fig infusion is more masculine. The wife adds, Philosykos is the softer fragrance of the two. Now, if you ask me, I’d said the exact opposite 🤷🏻‍♂️ But it’s two against one and both say Philo is softer. Then maybe fig infusion is not the one for you, sorry
