Fig fragrance recommendations?

Hello, everyday I pass a big bank of fig tress when I'm out walking with my baby and I am just obsessed with the scent so I am looking for a fig fragrance - something akin to the smell of the fig dyptique candle but as an edt or edp. Does anyone have any suggestions? X

Glad to see I'm not the only one with a fig fragrance fetish.

+1 for philosykos

Marc Jacobs previously had a fig edt that I loved but it was discontinued

Thanks everyone, lots of trying out in order! I have ordered a few samples on eBay so looking forward to testing Philosykos out and also Di Palomo. I've ordered some of the Body Shop one too - I am truly obsessed! xx

Philosykos. It's my absolute favourite scent and makes me so happy.

Body Shop have reduced their Italian Summer Fig range. For instance, the body butter, which is really good for layering with the EDT, or with other fig perfumes, was reduced from £14 down to £7. I stocked up with more EDT, shower gel and body lotion, and got another 40% reduction off the total bill. I think they must be discontinuing the range.

I love all things with a figgy scent. I'm sure Palmolive or another budget brand used to do a shower gel that was fig scented, but I've not seen it for ages. As an aside, Yankee candles does a wild fig candle which I also like.

The Palmolive shower gel (Spain&Fig) was ace for a really sweet, jammy take on fig. Korres Fig is a great green fig shower gel. Dove Blue Fig&Orange on the other hand smells dreadful, like a loo cleaner.

Another vote for Philosykos here. I also like the fig notes in Annick Goutal's Eau de Sud, which is perhaps my favourite perfume ever.

Arran aromatics do a lovely fig scent. Someone I know wears it a lot and I always comment on it.

Had a bargain in tkmaxx today. The di palomo grape and fig range linked to above in John Lewis was in store. I bought a reed diffuser, candle and room spray set for £13 reduced from £22 and a three pack of soaps for £5 reduced from £9. Delighted. The fragrance is so nice and certainly strong enough to fill a room without being overpowering. They had loads of the room scents sets near the checkouts, so they may be in other branches too.

Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi is also worth checking out - love that fragrance!
