An Eau de Parfum with floral amber notes, Mulberry Fig, is a warm creamy scent combined with bittersweet, green, and powdery orris notes to an incredible effect.

Created by the in-house perfumery team at 89 Jermyn Street.
Inspired by St James's Park, a quick promenade away from our Jermyn Street shop, one of London’s oldest Royal Parks, surrounded by some of the country’s most famous landmarks and lush greenery.
Creamy sweet and bitter green aromas encompass the shoreline of the blissful lake towered by an abundance of fig trees, immense in scale with elongated deciduous leaves flaunting their architectural foliage, believed to be the largest in Britain.

Mulberry Fig is a scent that evokes a floral amber fragrance combining the soft powdery character of orris with hints of fruit and spice. The perfume opens with a sparkle of fig and cardamom supported from the heart with fragrant green tones of vetiver and cypress. Amyris, cedarwood and sandalwood emphasise the overall woody character that permeates through the perfume.

L'espérance est violente.

Mirabeau, what a pretty word, peculiarly Parisian, suspended above the Seine. It composes a memory, joins another bank, and returns by following its trail of sandalwood, pink bay and cedar. In the heart of the City of Light, on the way to the twilight of the day, there is a bridge, a poem and a perfume.

A discreet and symbolic bridge, of the master-builder spirit which transcends borders, becoming better by coming together. Those solid foundations of cedar, sandalwood and orcanox span love and musk.

A poem as slow as it is violent, expressing the brutal and desirable hope of the one who would like to believe, of the one who wants to love. Vanilla, I write your name on the water, with muffled traces of incense and violet green.

A perfume to save us, fish us silently out of the water, bringing us above the Seine, our spirits on the water of our essences, bergamot and pink berry mingled with fig in a glass bottle, fiercely reuniting bodies in unison with souls, coming back to her by following her wake.

Zagal is the Spanish word for a shepherd’s apprentice, a figure that embodies discovery and innocence. This namesake fragrance invites you to approach the familiar with fresh eyes. Zagal is a dialogue between saffron’s dry, subtle bitterness, and fig’s fleshy, vegetal sweetness. Rose, jasmine, sandalwood, myrrh and vanilla provide deeply cushioned upholstery, rendering Zagal as a contemporary oriental.

August 1508, Lopud Island, Adriatic Sea

A sunny island in the Adriatic, a small harbour with stone houses and fig trees. Across the verdant Mediterranean hills sprawls an aromatic landscape of cypress stands, pine, rosemary, thyme — and olive groves with their subtle, nutty scent.

The dirt road is bumpy, glowing red in the fiery sunset. The truck lumbers through Mediterranean farmland, kicking up dust at every turn. You put your hand out the passenger window, experiencing the dry heat of summer and the rich smell of figs. Pulling into the grove, you fill your mouth with sticky figs. The driver takes you by the hand and you start running towards the sounds of laughter and music. There are flamenco guitars, dancing, milky cocktails. You spin around and around until the colours of the crowd swirl into infinity.

Fig Lemonade is fizzy and juicy, shimmering with sunshiney Italian lemon oil and Calabrian bergamot. Things get interesting with the fig leaf accord, which is built around buchu, with its green and borderline blackcurrant facets. The result is an appealing sweet/sour freshy with a subtle woody spine of cedarwood.

About Philosykos Eau de Parfum by Diptyque

What makes Philosykos Eau de Parfum distinct from other fig fragrances?
Philosykos Eau de Parfum is distinguished by its aromatic green character combining fig fruit, leaves, and wood with smooth sandalwood and a hint of black pepper. This creates a fresh yet warm and slightly spicy profile that balances natural fig elements without leaning heavily into sweetness or gourmand notes.
Are all the fragrances listed woody like Philosykos?
Most fragrances here include sandalwood or woody notes to echo Philosykos’ base, but some focus more on fresh, marine, or creamy accords instead. Not every scent replicates Philosykos’ woody warmth; some explore different facets of fig through freshness, sweetness, or spice.
Can I find a fig fragrance with both freshness and sweetness like Philosykos?
Yes, several fragrances on this list combine fresh fig notes with sweeter or creamy elements, such as 402 Guilty Vanilla or 204 Velvet Fig. However, Philosykos itself remains more balanced toward green freshness with subtle spice rather than overt sweetness.
