What does Philosykos (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the settings chosen most. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays a soft scent that sits close. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it moves easily between the two.

The notes are fig, fig wood, fig leaf and black pepper. Fresh and green accords lead, while the fruity and sweet side melts into a creamy softness that joins a woody line. Black pepper sharpens that sweetness slightly. Cerchi Nell'Acqua Syconia and Souleiado Méridienne have a close profile.
