PHLURVanilla Skin Eau de Parfum - Travel Size Perfume Fragrance - Vanilla Perfume with Pink Pepper, Cashmere Wood & Sandalwood (9.5mL)

Wow!!! This is absolutely stunning. I’m a fragrance collector and have a locker full of fragrances, including a couple of other Phlur pieces. This was a blind purchase and all I can say is just buy it! This is unlike anything else I own, it is very feminine and very wearable. It is not cloying. My description: it smells like a half of a ripe watermelon cut open and some white flowers, plumeria, just a tinge of play doh and some vanilla sugar were all added to the inside and all stirred together. It is stunning.

I used the entire bottle- it’s one of the best vanilla perfumes I have ever had. I didn’t like it at first, then I let it macerate for about two weeks and the perfume was a lot smoother. It’s sweet but not tooth-achingly sweet. The cashmere wood smoothed out after I let it sit in my closet in the dark, if I hadn’t let it sit I wouldn’t have known this would be one of my new go-to scents! I included the Pyramid from Fragrantica

I absolutely love fragrances.. I love smelling them, collecting them and that ever elusive search to find my "signature scent". I've gotten close before but nothing ever seemed to stick with me until 'Father Figure'. It hits all the right notes and lasts quite a while. I've gotten so many compliments on this scent and even had people go out and buy it for themselves. The price point is a little steep but honestly it's worth it as it lasts me a while and I just love the scent so much that much I'm willing to pay a little extra. The best part of this fragrance other than the scent, is being asked what I'm wearing..

… and I’ve learned my lesson! I kept seeing the ads on Facebook and Instagram about Phlur fragrances and Body Mists. I know better! I created SEO content for major brands for a decade and am one of the jerks who used all those fancy key words and inserted them into ads just like the ones Phlur uses to suck gullible consumers like myself, into buying something. Even worse, I’m a fragrance snob who usually sticks to what I know works with my body chemistry. But nope, I ignored my own gut telling me this was NOT going to be a fun and fruity scent. Initially I ordered the Mango and another fruit scent via Phlur’s site after caving in to the ads. Then I read through more of the comments and kicked myself. A LOT of people said to order off Amazon if ordering Phlur scents because when ordered straight off the brand site, orders were never received or were coming from Scandinavia and Europe in general. I ordered this scent, Strawberry Letter, via Amazon as so many suggested doing. Received it in two days (still haven’t received order directly from Phlur).Upon smelling the perfume in the bottle itself, it was a bit acrid smelling (reminded me of the sharp, unpleasant smell that Glossier’s “You” has) and then a super sharp cheap strawberry wine scent hit me. Yuck.TLDR … I guess my body chemistry laughed and said, “So you decided to FA & you FO …” It smells like Baccarat Rouge 540 which I loathe! It smells like cheap men’s cologne and curry on me. This Phlur Strawberry Letter stuff smells like the Baccarat fragrance but with sour-milk-swamp-booty notes that dry down to stale- curry-and-old-man-in-the-Deep-South.Save yourself some disappointment and a potential headache (like the one I’ve got) and go to Sephora - the only retail store that carries Phlur- and smell/sample this stuff BEFORE you buy it.I am going to return this and pray that the “Heavy Cream” scent (also Phlur) that I blind-bought on Amazon and gets here Friday, smells better, and that I receive the other stuff ordered from Phlur directly and that it doesn’t make me shed massive tears of fragrance-regret.

Absolutely love the smell, just wish that the scent lasted longer. I purchased the 9.5 ml and it lasted about a month.

strong sweet strawberry scent, lasts all day

LOVE the scent but it doesn’t last long at all.

Smells warm and sexy. Love this vanilla scent!
