Sh**ty Day

I had the original Phlur Hanami in the big square bottle. Every time I wore it, I found it fascinating, but I couldn't say if I really liked it or not. But when I didn't wear it for a while, it kept popping into my head. Every time I asked someone to smell it (it was a skin scent on me), they were baffled by the combination of notes. Eventually, Hanami was reformulated, then discontinued. I have been hunting an approximation of the original ever since. On first blast, this is not Hanami. Hanami was never this outspoken, and Sh**ty Day roars. It's big, bright, sharp, and green with that eucalyptus intensity that's so prevalent in parts of Southern California. Definitely startling if this isn't your thing. I thought that whoever told me this smelled liked Hanami was insane. But as it slid into the middle notes, Hanami began to peek through. Tart, creamy, woody, salty, and arresting. On the drydown, it became a deliciously assertive version of that longed-for scent. Each waft caught me by surprise; I never thought I would find something that smelled this way again. Even better, Sh**ty Day doesn't whisper; it's subtle but present for hours on end. Now, almost 18 hours later, it's a lingering woody-salty-tart skin scent with the occasional wandering waft that lights up my memory all over again. Magnificent.

I absolutely love this scent its my favorite fragrance right now. It's not your typical clean girl crowd pleaser scent. I wouldn't say it's a safe blind buy but it is most definitely a great clean one. It's earthy but in a spa like way. I think what I love most about it is that it's super photorealistic. It 100% reminds me of growing up in SoCal in the SFV. There are several eucalyptus trees on hiking trails surrounding the Valley. Whether you're close to Ventura Blvd or somewhere out in Porter Ranch you get a nice whiff of those eucalyptus trees and lavender bushes. The fig note brings out the Mediterranean like aroma that SoCal evokes. The blend of the eucalyptus, salt, lavender and fig remind me of brisk morning hikes in the mountains surrounding the SFV. I love the salt note in there it definitely gives it a salty oceanic texture that helps mellow out the eucalyptus, which is also perfect reminder that just over those beautiful Santa Monica Mountains is the Beach. If you grew up in the LA/SFV area, you know it's hard to have a Shitty Day with all that sunshine. Don't be scared of that eucalyptus. It's done quite well in this one.

A true unisex fragrance which I fell in love with immediately. While it’s definitely not safe for a blind buy, I will talk anyone I can into testing it. It’s just intoxicating to me. It almost smells dirty, but in the best way possible. Once on the skin, it transforms into a uniquely erotic scent. Bergamot and fig make a statement, but it dries down to a musky, ambery skin scent. I’ve received a compliment about smelling good twice since purchasing and I’ve only worn it in public a handful of times. I can’t speak for the rest of the fragrances from this line, but this scent is impressively sophisticated for the price.

I get the comparisons to Santal 33, wood sage and sea salt and even Phylosikos. It is truly like all 3 combined. None of those scents are “me” but this one is! Also works with my chemistry pretty well (rare) I’d say this is the perfect summer fig in my opinion. I also liked Debaser but that is soooo strong in summer, this is much more appealing for the heat. Definitely Unisex, and definitely sexy. There’s something carnal about it, yet remains fresh. It evolves quite a bit so definitely test before buying. I sampled at Ulta and drove back that same day to purchase the 15 ml.

Just got my sample in the mail and I immediately understood why the test strip “grew on me.” It wasn’t even one of my favorites until a day or two after bringing them home. It smells completely different on my arm vs. the post-it note I just sprayed it on. I assume that’s because the sharp opening evaporates right away from skin. On paper I think I’m getting a lot of eucalyptus and cucumber. On skin I get the sandalwood and the tonka, fig, & coconut. Oh my gosh is this lovely on skin. It probably just takes a couple of days to get to this stage on paper.

A friend introduced me to this scent and told me it was one they hated so I just had to try it because ones she hates I typically like. This scent reminds me of those old brown stone townhouses in New York after it had just thunderstorms and your standing out side on your balcony when a person smoking a cigarette walks by with a very woodsy piney cologne. To me it is a very beautiful scent and I wear it when I want transport to a different place (I have always yearned for NYC). The price is pretty reasonable (for me at least).

I had to chime in on this one because it's just about the only cheapie I can stand. And much more than that: It is up there among my favorite warm weather scents. It is in the Philosykos family, to be sure, but slightly more juicy and woody. Also, though not listed, I smell the distinct texture of chewy, earthy orris (one of my favorite notes). I imagine sitting on slatted teak wood in a fancy steam room while this scent soothes all my tension away. I just can't get enough of it! And at this price, I don't have to!

This is the first fig that I've ever smelled that made me say, "I get it." I've always thought fig smells AT BEST smelled like pleasant room sprays. Usually they just smell sharp and green and not in a good way. This fragrance is so soft and beautiful, it blends into your skin like a fresh tea scent that is somehow also a "your smell but better". I just can't get enough of it! It's like a fresh breeze on a hot gross day. I can't believe how in love I am with a primarily figgy perfume. It's incredible.

To me this always smelled like damp soil in a way. Then you get the juicy fig, a little bit of aromatic-ness from the lavender and eucalyptus, something a bit savory from the salt, and overall just this nice dirt smell, like dirt after it rains. I showed this to my friend and she loves it. This is one of my favorites from Noyz. My boyfriend doesn’t like it, it’s not for everyone but I think it’s amazing. This is a fragrance that got me into earthy scents. 8/10

This line is being pushed heavily by influencers and I will just preface with I’m not one of them. I stopped in Ulta and saw the display and was intrigued so I tried all of them. This was the only love. This is a lovely aromatic scent that comes off a lot like a figgy wood sage and sea salt. It’s fresh without being boring, overly masculine, or sharp. I just adore this. A unique and wearable fragrance with decent longevity and a nice little scent cloud.

This is my favorite realistic fig scent of all time. Philosykos goes too 'green', Mystic Fig'ures is too watery, Womanity was my fave (still love, but its more salty and musky). This is fresh fig, with the stem, and perfectly balances the sweetness, fruitiness, greenness, and woodiness in a really sexy way. This would be a stunning signature scent for someone who lives in a temperate-to-warm climate year round.

Why are y’all acting so thick headed about the name?..... it’s obvious named that bc this is what you wear on shitty days to soothe you hence the spa like aroma. It’s not meant to represent the shitty day itself but the healing balm that repairs it. Duh Update 1 year later: smelt it on someone else and I hated it so much. It was a huge coconut plastic bomb and now I can’t unsmell that. Gave it away...

I like this perfume a lot. There is something so refreshing about it. I don't think it smells like Philosykos, and I have owned and used that perfume. It does have a figgy smell, but not as strong as the fig leaf smell. I think I smell more of the clary sage, bergamot, cucumber, violet, and maybbbeee the salt. It is honestly great however does not last as long as I would like to

This is a less creamy, more salt-soaked Phlur Father Figure! A true unisex scent, it brings forth a vision of sun drenched green eucalyptus trees, ocean air, and the entire fig tree bursting with ripe fruit. It is both sophisticated and fresh- appropriate in nearly every setting and non offensive to even the most sensitive nose I know

Out of all the fragrances from Noyz, Shi**y Day is my favorite. The only way I can describe the scent is it has a cool warmth. It opens with a cool and calming eucalyptus but dries down to a cozy warmth. Everything about this scent is calming. The name the brand gave this perfume is soooo fitting .

perfect perfect fig sea salted eucalyptus woody goodness. i fell in love immediately and stayed in love as it lasted all day. it smells just like a drive through bodega bay with all the eucalyptus and the sea breeze, but with a lasting fig note that is by far my favorite i’ve ever smelled.

Sharp and distinct botanical herbs, salt, and prominent fig. Woody undertone that places it firmly unisex. It's a pleasant surprise. I can see this being a little divisive, because it is a little loud for what would ostensibly be a fresh and easy scent. Hate the name though, sorry!

To my nose this is slightly salty and very fig heavy with a creamy softness to it. Performs very well for my purposes, it's a go to for the office, especially on days I know are going to be stressful. The name itself gives me a laugh but it does have a calming, spa like vibe to it.

I don’t normally gravitate towards these types of fragrances. I’m typically a gourmand girly. But this was different and oddly it did give me some sense of peace when I smelled it. So I had to get the full bottle. Love it! I even sometimes layer it with Unmute for a fresh twist

This is very light and uplifting. I could really see this improving a bad day. The eucalyptus is very strong at first then the green fig notes. As it dries down it gets very airy and salty. Not overpowering and I could see this being a good work/daytime scent.
