I bought Philosykos blind a couple of months ago, and have work it only once. It wasn't love at first sniff, but often scents grow on me, especially niche scents. I have a sample of Premier Figuier, but haven't tested it as yet.

Philosykos is my favourite, and one of my top ten scents.

I know this is not what you are asking...but I've tried both Philosykos and Premier Figuier, they are lovely but my favourite fig scent is Annick Goutal Ninfeo Mio...you have to try it.

I've tried both and I prefer the L'Artisan Premier Figuier.

I prefer the Extreme version of L'Artisan. It's lovely and creamy, with milky almondy figs and sandalwood.

Plain Premier Figuier is papery and dusty on me, dries down to the smell of an old and musty attic room with a bundle of musty decaying paper right in the middle of the attic with dust specs dancing in the ray of light and refusing to settle... I've made multiple attempts to make peace with this scent, but it's just not for me.

I prefer PF. I like the sandalwood in it more than the cedar note in Philosykos.
PF Extreme is too sweet for me.
