I feel like they smoked a joint before this review, and are confused...

I was just contributing to a discussion on Basenotes about these. Philosykos, unfortunately, off my skin creates a "bug spray" effect that I couldn't shake when testing a sample. I love the scent off paper, but my skin alters something about the fragrance (I think it's the tannins from the stem of the fig fruit). However, I was 'saved' by L'Artisan Parfumeur's Premier Figuier, which smells nearly identical to Philosykos.........BUT......without the bug spray effect! Yes! I just wanted to contribute my experience to this video that I found upon searching.

Always great to have dalya back , you both are amazing together because you often have different perspectives and are both so good at detailing what each of you get from a fragrance 🙏

Sebastian I didn't get a clear preference from you. Which one do you prefer? And which one is the milkiest/creamiest?

Giacobetti is love, and Giacobetti is life. It takes excruciatingly hot and unbearably humid weather to appreciate all of her fresh and ethereal creations. Between Philosykos and Premier Figuier, I prefer the linear freshness of the former. I have never eaten a fresh fig or smelled a fig tree before I fell in love at the first sniff of Philosykos. It's green, juicy, happy, smiling, crisp and cool all at the same time. Premier Figuier is more sultry, sophisticated and borderline pretentious for the kind of happy fig scent I want for summer. For some reasons, I appreciate they don't have a huge projection or last as long as others. If fig is too milky for your taste, I recommend L'eau de L'artisan, also by Olivia Giacobetti, for the crisp grassy, lemon verbena goodness.

Very informative! Hello Sebastian and Dalya ☺️ I recently rediscovered my love for Philosykos when I picked up the EDP travel set. I'll have to try L'Artisan.

Wonderful video!

I just got my nose on Philosykos and It blew me away. I purchased it. I love it.

You guys are like Siskel and Ebert love that. It's great that you guys don't agree with each other just for the sake of the video and the cologne great stuff always by my purchases from your reviews you got a great nose and class Sebastian

"Sap" is the word y'all was looking for

Great comparison video! Love when you do these type of videos ! a while back I was going back and forth with these fragrances, I prefer the EDT from both but I prefer Philosykos EDT! watching this video makes me want to go back and try P.F. again. Would love to see a top L'Artisan video in the future

Philosykos and the figuier candle are favorites for the start of summer. Love at first sniff. Just green like having all you’re meals outside by the lake.

I always love seeing you and Dalya! This is why I come to your channel for education...I had no idea these were created by the same perfumer. My favorite has to be Premier Figuier Extreme! :-)

Im looking at both right now!! Perfect

They are very similar, indeed. I went with L'Artisan Premier Figuier. I found Diptyque's Philosykos had a tad bit more of a woody scent, which I really liked, but I decided to go with the more pure fig based Premier Figuier. (EdP for both) Great video! Love seeing you both, together! Thanks Sebastian & Dalya!

Great Video! Diptyque edt is one of top choices for hot summer days.

Lovely to have Dalia back 🙏🏻

I love Dalya! Great post!

Thank you for this and your fav gig fragrances video. L’Artisan Figure is my all time favorite. Love both versions. Have used over 10 bottles over the years.

Never tried them(as usual) but good to know about them. For fig, I like Lubin's Figaro.
