Fragrance Note
Fig
Fig in fragrance captures the whole tree · the milky fruit, the green leaves, the woody bark · yielding a unique green-creamy-coconut accord made famous by Diptyque Philosykos.
About Fig
The fig fragrance accord is built around the molecule stemone, combined with coconut lactones, green leaf alcohols, and a soft milky note. The combination evokes a whole fig tree on a hot day rather than just the fruit. Diptyque Philosykos (1996) defined the genre and remains the reference. Fig is one of fragrance's few truly seasonal notes · strongly associated with Mediterranean summer · and it has crossed from niche into mainstream over the past two decades. The natural fig fruit yields almost no extract; the accord is reconstructed.
