Beach Skin

Beachy, tropical, exotic, radiant, sweet, creamy, warm, floral, bright, citrusy, fruity, fresh, woody, powdery, musky, feminine, sensual, flirty, chic, lush, uplifting, transportive, nostalgic On me this is a beautiful, beachy, sweet, floral, and radiant scent. The tropical coconut with the sweet and exotic Tiare flower bring a lovely monoi oil touch, while the vanilla gives a warm and sensual feel. The bergamot note lends a bright, sweet, and refreshing feel, while the creamy and woody scent of sandalwood, and the powdery musk help to balance out the sweetness, ground the fragrance very nicely. I also get a soft salty ozonic scent that makes me think of a warm ocean breeze. There is somewhat of a luxe sun tan lotion scent (which I love!) to this, but I don’t find it overwhelming, or too much. More like just the right amount for a coconut vanilla fragrance. Very beautifully done, Phlur nailed it again! I’m a huge fan of beachy/coconut fragrances, so as soon as I heard about this one I knew I absolutely had to have it. I blind bought it, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. I have quite a collection of these types of fragrances, so I wanted to mention how I thought some of them compared... 🌴Ellis Brooklyn Sand - I find this to be the most similar as well as SDJ Flor Mística. Sand is another warm, sweet, coconut vanilla that also has bergamot, white florals, sandalwood, and musk too. 🦩SDJ Flor Mística - The most similar along with Sand imo. I’ve always thought this was very similar to Sand even though the notes are fairly different (for a beachy/coconut scent at least). However, they do share coconut, white florals, and musk. 🐚SDJ Rio Radiance/87 - I can see a slight similarity to Beach Skin mainly because of its warm and sweet coconut vanilla scent. I get a decent amount of tuberose in this one, which is one of its major differences. ☀️SDJ Beijos de Sol - I don’t find this one particularly similar to Beach Skin because it’s a much more tropical and fruity coconut scent as opposed to coconut vanilla. 🌊JHAG Vanilla Vibes - I don’t think this one is very similar mainly because it doesn’t have a coconut note, and is more of a salty marine vanilla. However, I’m curious if it would become similar if it had a coconut note because I do get an ocean breeze scent as part of Beach Skin, and because they both share vanilla, musk, and sandalwood notes. I’ve become a pretty big fan of these Phlur mists over the past year, and this is definitely one of my favorites. I also own Vanilla Skin, Heavy Cream, Caramel Skin, and Coconut Skin. In comparison to Coconut Skin, I don’t find them very similar. Coconut Skin is much more gourmand with caramel and sorbet notes, more green with a palm leaf note, more floral with Tiare flower, jasmine sambac, and frangipani, and warmer with an amber note. While I really enjoy both, I definitely prefer Beach Skin. For some reference, some of my other favorite beachy/coconut fragrances include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica At The Beach, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Bobbi Brown Beach, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, Kayali Maldives in a Bottle I get really good performance with Beach Skin. It lasts for about 7-8 hours on me, and projects about an arm’s length.

Beachy, sweet, white floral, exotic, vanilla, coconut, tropical, warm, powdery, musky, salty, woody, lactonic, bright, fresh, softly spicy, slightly fruity, feminine, sensual, alluring, inviting, lush, transportive, nostalgic On me this opens fresh and bright with a burst of bright bergamot, spicy pink pepper, a sprinkle of salt, and the exotic floral sweetness of Tiare flower. As it starts to dry down the pink pepper fades and the tropical and creamy coconut milk comes through with some additional sweetness, and just a whisper of Lily-of-the-valley. Once it’s dried down the Tiare flower and coconut milk remain nicely intertwined, and the sensual and powdery vanilla, soft musk, and a gentle woodiness from the sandalwood join beautifully. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the Tiare flower, coconut milk, and vanilla followed by the salt, musk, sandalwood, and bergamot. This is such a beautiful, beachy, and suntan lotion-esqu scent. It has a lovely monoi oil like scent to it too, a scent that I particularly enjoy. I’ve always been drawn to these types of fragrances, so when I saw Phlur releasing this one I absolutely had to get it! It’s definitely another successful blind buy for me! They really did an excellent job with this! I own several of their other mists too, and really enjoy them as well... Heavy Cream (my favorite!), Cashmere Skin, Vanilla Nectar, Vanilla Blackberry, Vanilla Skin, Caramel Skin, Coconut Skin, and Vanilla Smoke. For some reference, some of my other favorite beachy/coconut fragrances include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, Bobbi Brown Beach, Alien Goddess, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, Maldives in a Bottle, Utopia Vanilla Coco, Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar, Sand, JHAG Lust For Sun, Vanilla Vibes, SDJ 39, BBW Coco Paradise, At the Beach, Oahu Coconut Sunset, Beach Nights I do see some similarities between this and JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Lust For Sun, Replica Beach Walk, Alien Goddess, Ellis Brooklyn Sand, SDJ Flor Mística, BBW Coco Paradise. I also have Phlur’s Coconut Skin, but definitely prefer Beach Skin over Coconut Skin. It leans much more towards monoi oil, vanilla, and coconut as opposed to a somewhat gourmand and green leaning tropical white floral coconut. I agree with what another reviewer mentioned about this having a really nice salty accord, but without the marine notes like in Vanilla Vibes. It’s rather complex, especially for a body mist which is nice. The longevity is really nice, lasts at least 6-7 hours on my skin. The projection is also good for a mist, it radiates out a couple feet from me.

Damn this is so good, I’ve been wearing it more often than my $$$ niche perfumes these days. It’s a second skin fragrance that lasts 6-8 hours and creates a scent bubble that makes me feel like a relaxed goddess. For me this was a surprising standout of the island escape trio - I returned the travel trio and got a big bottle of beach skin. It’s not particularly sunscreen-like or coconut sweet like most “beach” fragrances. Love the melon note in this, and pairs beautifully with Missing Person body oil.

To me it's an amazing summer beachy fragance, all I like it's here. It's similar to Vanilla Powder but without the marine masculine notes, so I love it even more... What I get from it is salty coconut with a hint of flower from Tiare, a liiiiittle bit of Vanilla. Doesn't smell like sun cream. I don't smell the bergamote note. Easy like. Good lasting for a Mist.

This is lovely. I doing get the screechy pepperiness others are getting. It’s a nice beach coconut vanilla, not overly sweet but not sunscreeny either. Has good longevity for a body mist. Will be a great summer fragrance but I also love using scents like this as bedtime perfumes.
