No fragrance note is more universally loved than vanilla. Sweet, familiar, creamy, and comforting,  this luscious aroma is like a warm hug from your favorite person. When Phlur launched its Vanilla Skin Hair and Body Mist last year, it was no surprise that it sold out instantly. The airy spray cloaks your strands and limbs in the most delicious mix of vanilla, musk, amber, and burnt sugar making it a must-have for vanilla lovers. Luckily, the brand decided to turn it into a traditional perfume, and spoiler alert, we LOVE Phlur Vanilla Skin Eau de Parfum. Between the intoxicating scent itself and its impressive lasting power, we’ll tell you why you need to add this vanilla-spiked skin scent to your perfume wardrobe before it sells out. 

THE SCENT-SPIRATION

Similar to their mega viral hit Missing Perfume Eau de Parfum, Vanilla Skin has this quality of familiarity and sensuality to it. It is meant to evoke this feeling of cozying up to your significant other while snacking on a creamy scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. It’s a skin scent but with a sweeter vanilla twist. 

KEY NOTES 

Top: Pink Pepper, Pink Apple, Sugar Crystals

Heart: Lily, Jasmine Petals, Cashmere Wood

Base: Benzoin, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Agarwood

WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE

Think of a decadent vanilla ice cream made from the most high-quality ingredients available. Its scent is the equivalent of a luxurious cashmere sweater laced with notes of vanilla plus white florals and a hint of spice. It also has a slightly boozy quality once it sits on the skin for a while. We adore the amber note that becomes more prominent in the dry down. 

FINAL THOUGHTS

This scent is an absolute banger. In both scent and wear time. I loved the Body Mist, but the scent disappeared after just an hour or so. With its higher fragrance concentration, the perfume version lasts all day on the skin and lingers on your clothes, too. Not only that, but the intensity of the scent is a lot deeper and richer. If you love gourmands and are looking to add a vanilla perfume to your stash, you cannot skip this.
