But you finding Philosykos _more_ dry in a head-to-head comparison... that's really interesting, and we must indeed have very different skin. On me, Philosykos is a sugar bomb. <br /><br />Have you tried Parfums de Nicolai Fig Tea? That's also a sugar Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-2403447553613394422010-01-14T05:12:20.758-08:002010-01-14T05:12:20.758-08:00Tried it again last night vs Philosykos.

Oddly, I found Philosykos standoffish and dry (like Premier Figuier minus the coconut) and JdKerylos was once again juicy and ripe, but not sweet, as you say - just not tart, such that you would need to add sugar. I bet you and I have very different skin, which may be behind this.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-31717509846836313282010-01-13T13:12:31.340-08:002010-01-13T13:12:31.340-08:00Ines, yes, I definitely recommend it.

If you like Philosykos, you might find this one too standoffish and dry, but it's definitely worth the experiment.<br /><br />Flittersniffer, there's a lot of fruit, but it's not sweet fruit. Definitely not ripe. But I like that - I like my bananas really green, for example.<br /><br />(Hey, I wonder if a scent could achieve a green banana note?

It is ages since I tried it though, so must dig out my sample and try it with a fresh nostril.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-46125345874627234472010-01-13T00:08:26.850-08:002010-01-13T00:08:26.850-08:00Finally!

This one is wonderfully un-sweet. I'm having to remind myself of all the Pre Bottle Purchase rules.
