Phloem

I really liked this fragrance. I think it has an interesting aroma and quite different from anything else I've tried. You can feel the red fruits perfectly and I think the rhubarb, although it's something that I never really guess what it smells like, since I get very confused with red fruits, it's the same as with other things like hibiscus. I've been called a lot by the fact that it has oysters as an olfactory note and I don't really notice them. It is true that you can perceive a certain marine smell, but I would never think that it could be the smell of oysters if I didn't see it listed here. Otherwise, it has a floral and fresh note that makes it very bearable on a daily basis even with warm temperatures, although under a scorching sun at midday and at the beginning of August I don't know how it would work. The performance is quite fair, something that usually happens on my skin with the fragrances of this style, but its originality makes me think of it as a perfume that I would not mind adding to my collection, but without being at the top of my wish list. If I had to say some perfume that reminds me I think I would say nishane zenne, but without being equal or much less.

Polarising, tarty, sugary, stewed rhubarb poured atop with ripened berry jam. This is a gigantic, vibrant fushia pink Hibiscus flower with silky petals in a scent form. Ambrette and sesame definitely round the fruity edge, making it smooth, wet petals textured, voluptuous, a wee like hard candies, and with ‘cool pink’ colour, though it does not lean gourmand. Very unique, salty, I have never smelled anything like this. Cumin is undetectable, but if there is, it's beautifully blended to support sea salt accord. There is a tinge of floral spiciness in it that provides some gimmicks. I have never smelled Nasturtium, but the floralness in Phloem does remind me of how natural tropical Hibiscus flowers smell, which I am familiar with. Sea, sand, sun, and hot cool pink hibiscus. P.S. someone grumbled about cumin as if you didn’t know cumin is used in so many accords, and I can’t imagine your reactions to some other frags with forward cumin would be like 😅 Chill 🤙🏼 not picking up certain notes isn’t a crime (esp if you didn’t wait till the drydown). It’s how you ‘personally’ interpret the scent.

What a sticky mess indeed. A wonderfully provocative sticky mess. Not an easy reach, and definitely not for blind buying (or over-spraying) It does have a womanly carnality about it, the kind of aroma a woman will get the morning after going to bed without wearing any underwear. It's the ripe musky aura of a beautiful lady who has been wearing nothing but a satin nightgown all night. It's intoxicating. Skanky note aside, it is a beautiful fruity floral that you catch whiffs of throughout the day. The skank grabs your attention and the pleasant notes the skank carries make you swoon. She's a sexy little number, best reserved for raunchy or intimate occasions. Performance is unreal. I gave myself a spray before sleep last night at 10 pm and it is still going strong at 10:30 am, even after a shower.

You’re a robot in the year 3000. You love perfume. Your new fragrance just arrived in the mail. What does it smell like? You wanted something that smelled like a futuristic rose, medical grade hand sanitizer, and a bar of metal soap. Phloem has arrived!!! Honestly, I really like this. This is a safe, office friendly fragrance for weird girls. I’m joking. This scent, or should I say type of scent, is one of the safest blind buys I’d recommend for someone into odd, indie, or niche fragrances without getting into uncharted waters. You’re into musky, sharp, floral skin scents then this is perfect. It’s sharp, extremely clean (like industrial level clean), and floral. It almost smells metallic. Like you’re sniffing metal flowers and soap. This is cool af. It’s my kind of Glossier You or 11:11.

This is a complex and sassy little devil. It has a lot of freshness and tartness from fruit and berries, like blueberry and rhubarb, there's a soft hint of wild, but fragile flowers and the note that takes this fragrance to that sassy place: Oysters. The oyster note is wet and salty, like the sea, but also reminiscent of something dirty, sweaty and intimate. Do you remember that scene from 'Braveheart' where Mel Gibsons character has sex with his wife in the Highland heather? Yeah, this is it! It smells like having sex with a guy wearing a kilt, outside in the wild Scottish nature. Airy, wild, untamed closeness. 🐚🌾 This is a fabulous creation. Totally unique and beautiful in its own sassy little way. I love this! Longevity is around 8-9 hours on my skin and it has a medium strength.
