Vanilla Skin Body & Hair Fragrance Mist

PHLUR Vanilla Skin Body & Hair Fragrance Mist is a vanilla scent with more going on than most. PHLUR files it under warm and spicy, in the warm sweet gourmand family, and builds it on sugar crystals, cashmere wood and vanilla. It is made to be misted over both skin and hair.

What it actually does

• Reads creamy, not flat. The brand's description is a familiar, decadent creaminess wrapped in spice — vanilla with edges rather than a single sweet note.
• Opens sweet and peppery. Pink pepper and sugar sit at the top, which is where the "spice and intrigue" the brand talks about comes from.
• Settles into wood and warmth. Those opening notes drop through cashmere into a base of vanilla and cosy sandalwood.
• Doubles as a hair mist. It is sold for hair as well as body, so you can carry the scent in both.
• Formulation. An alcohol-based mist — alcohol denat. and water with fragrance; the declared allergens include alpha-isomethyl ionone, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, farnesol and limonene. PHLUR holds it to a clean standard that avoids a published list of controversial ingredients.

How to use

1. Aim for warm spots. Your own body heat intensifies the scent, so the brand suggests misting the creases of the elbows and the backs of the knees for a stronger, longer-lasting trail.
2. Add the hair. A light mist held away from the head carries the scent as you move.
3. Refresh rather than over-apply. Mists are lighter than eau de parfum — top up during the day instead of soaking everything at once.

Questions

What does it actually smell like?

Vanilla at the centre, with sugar and pink pepper up top and sandalwood and cashmere wood underneath. PHLUR classes it as a warm, sweet gourmand.

Is it safe on hair?

It is sold as a body and hair mist. It does contain alcohol denat., so if your hair is very dry or colour-treated, mist lightly and keep it off the scalp.

How do I make it last longer?

Spray where your body is warmest — inner elbows and behind the knees. PHLUR's own tip is that your body heat is what drives the scent.

How long does delivery take, and how do I pay?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Payment is by credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets — no cash on delivery.
