Missing Person

Missing person is a very strange experience. The first 5 times I couldn't sense anything. Nothing. Like air. But I had to deal with the claim that there is a scent design attached to this fluid. So I didn't give up, thought to myself that the title is very accurate. I applied it generously, 5 sprays (unheard of in my world) and picked up something in the background. Felt like a memory you can't put your finger on it, or a word you would like to say and it is at the tip of your tongue but you can't grasp it. I did this every day for a week and by the end of the week 4 people who I hugged when saying hi were all over me, obsessing over my scent that I couldn't smell. I felt like I was the missing person hahaha or the person who is missing out on this scent. After one week it grew in my perception, it is truly like a soft idea floating around me as a scent, it is there and then it isn't. I really appreciate this kind of scent interaction as I love the subtile. I really don't know how to describe it other than that it really feels like the background scent you get from some clothing you wore a while ago or from your lover. It is not about the specific scent, it is about the background story that pulls your attention. Very interesting experience. I love it. I spray 5 times and I am delighted when the scent crosses my nose during the day to drift by and leave me behind immediately. Like a quick hello. No longterm hanging around, just hi and bye in the sweetest way. It does changes your thoughts as you can't hold onto it. You have to be present to perceive it and then let go. Good teacher ...but somebody might crush it with the judgment about its subtile interaction with you and your surrounding. Thank you *I am new to the world of scents, I have a good nose, great insides but still learning the right words for it. Stay with me (: *

I honestly don't know how I heard about Missing Person. Let's be honest...I'm too mature (old) to be swayed by any influenster, and I don't subscribe to TikTok, so my feelings about Missing Person are all my own. Last Spring, 2022, I was looking for something light and feminine to not be cloying in the Southern heat and humidity. I purchased a sample of Missing Person. After applying the juice, I kept thinking, "What is that scent? I've smelled that before." It took me awhile, and finally my college days' memories of Love's Wild Jasmine came flooding back. OMGoodness, memories of college loves I thought I'd marry, loves that got away, partying until dawn, watching the sun come up, and sneaking back into the dorm flooded every part of me. These were the early to mid 70s for me, and the BEST times of my life as I currently hit the autumn and winter of my life. All I have are my memories, and Missing Person evokes those wonderful times for me. Yes, there is that jasmine (which reminds me of the song Summer Breeze...."Summer breeze makes me feel fine. Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind"). The white musk and sandalwood ground this fragrance and give it a more mature depth than Love's Wild Jasmine. As we get older, children leave the nest, retirement sets in, we tend to relive those days gone by. I've gotten addicted to this fragrance. I have the body wash, lotion, hand lotion, FB EDP, travel size EDP, and the NEW offering of the perfume oil in a sleek black, roller ball tube. I just got the perfume oil today, and it's heavenly. The scent lingers longer, and it will be a fabulous layering tool. So, after all that, this hippie, rocker chick says to all of you...Peace. And, enjoy whatever fragrance makes you happy.

Cozy like a lustful embrace, very romantic and soft but not boobs in your face fem. This is a faint-whisper-kiss-on-the-ear intimate fragrance that immediately allured me into the house. This fragrance will make you haunt the narrative, like a widow holds their lovers clothes close. On my skin this is an incredibly refreshing white floral and when paired with the body oil, I become this warm, sweet plush idol that my partner (even in sleep) won’t let go of. Jasmines and sandalwood stick more to my skin as time goes by. I was hesitant purchasing both the perfume and the body oil as many people pointed out it wasn’t potent in smell. I wouldn’t expect an intimate scent like this to linger as strongly as it did by itself as a body oil. Over the course of the month of February, our weather was breezy, wet some days, but fairly cool. I think this made it stand out a little more (more people asking what I was wearing 🤷🏻♀️) An amazing strain I’d pair this to (depending on how intimate and cozy you wanna be with this) is the Original Z. Hot take but on its own it’s a sweet, berry indica that relaxes you as much as this fragrance soothes you. Together, they become a cuddle puddle for a nostalgia marathon and chill~ 10/10

Ok so first, I thought this should be named Missing Perfume because I couldn't smell sheeeit. I kept trying it out, because I didn't wanna return because lazy. I started to be able to smell it more and more, like my nose was in training for it. Now I get a clean woody skin musk with a little kick. Not spice perse but a lil bit of jazz hands. Yea it's intimate sillage, but I know I smell nice when I'm right near someone. This also may be the longest lasting Phlur fragrance I own. I surprisingly was getting whiffs of this 5 hours in. Now I'm looking for some more skin scents because I guess I forgot how nice they can be. Usually I want the most for my money. If I spend it, you gotta smell it. If I only gotta spray once or twice so I dont choke people out? GOOD. I'm not a monster, I'm not out here overspraying Kerosene Followed, I just want what I buy to waft around longer than a fart. Is that so much to ask? TLDR I couldn't smell it, now I can, and its pretty great. Getting into my "My skin just naturally smells good" perfume phase. If you can find it, and like perfume oils, Bastet Amber by Nocturne Alchemy is like the indie oil form of this. So mad they discontinued it. Bitches.

TL;DR: to me, Missing Person smells like dog fur. I bought the 8ml travel size of Missing Person a couple of years ago, and at first it smelled quite unusual. I first thought it smelled like I just washed my dog with dog shampoo, and at the time I wasn't too sure if I wanted to smell like that myself. However, I was weirdly drawn to wearing it and I used up my travel size within a couple of weeks. I also place a tshirt on the radiator and the scent filled the hallway which was lovely. Since then, my dog sadly passed and there isnt a day where I don't think of her and miss her terribly. One day fairly recently I had visited my mum who also has a dog thats the same breed as mine (Staffordshire bull terrier) and whilst I was petting him I smelled his fur, and immediately I thought "he smells like Missing Person" there was something reassuring about the scent of a fur baby. I couldn't get it out of my head, and I just had to buy a bottle. It is so comforting, animalic and as I have already stated, reassuring. It's like cuddling your fur friend, feeling safe and secure and nothing else matters in the world.
