I remember a Greek summer on Mount Pelion where, to reach the sea, one had to cross an orchard of sun-drenched wild fig trees. Philosykos is an ode to the fig in its entirety: the green freshness of the leaves, the milky flavour of the figs, the density of the white wood.
This light emulsion is full of contrasts. Like a milk, its slightly milky texture settles on the skin as if nothing were there, delicately, whispering its sweet music. Behind its delicate appearance, however, it intensely vibrates the nuances of its scent. For an aroma to last all day, it is important to have properly hydrated skin: this is the secret to a persistent fragrance.
Olfactory notes: Fig leaves, Fig milk, Fig wood, Black Pepper
