Somebody Wood

My favorite from the Phlur line-up. Phlur's scents generally don't wow me (they're fine, but not incredible), but Somebody Wood is the exception for me. Probably the best fragrance I have smelled available at Sephora. The promotional photo in the Fragram section of this page that says "SANDALWOOD AMBER MUSK SAFFRON" pretty much sums this scent up, though I think vanilla and oakmoss play major supporting roles as well here. Other than the saffron, I don't get much of the middle and top notes at all; I was surprised to see that citrus was even in this (allegedly). It's all smooth, creamy, ambery sandalwood and vanilla to me. Not too sweet, not floral or citrusy at all. A great, affordable, solid, neutral fragrance that will likely be inoffensive to most. Delightfully unisex to me, a little sweet and a lot woody, but in a lighter, sandier way that doesn't read too masculine. Wear is about 4 hours for me; that's about when I notice it's faded, but not quite completely gone. 9.5/10.

Fall and winter scent. It’s a unique bottle in my collection. I do enjoy unisex scents, and even wear a men’s fragrance every now and then, but the wood in this is unique. I agree with a previous reviewer about it being ashy, but not in a bad way. there’s a lot of true wood with the oak moss+saffron creating a warm leathery accord. my chemistry can take leather too far, but this hits the sweet spot. i firmly believe this scent is highly dependent on chemistry, and mine tends to really get along with this one— a big complement getter. Earthy, leathery, woody, deep, dark. perfect for colder weather, wouldn’t dare try it in heat. If you’re a gourmand girly, floral lover, or fruit addict, clean-girl aesthetic, or lover of freshies, don’t stop here. I wouldn’t throw spice in here either. It’s neither dry nor sweet, it’s smoky in an inoffensive way. If you like woody fragrances, this is a must-try; it never goes dill-y or pickle-y on me as other sandalwoods have.

With Somebody Wood was love at first smell. I like to think that you fall in love with a perfume exactly like when you do it with another person. It is quemistry, then attachments and you build together those memories. I am Somebody wood's person. I didn't know anyrhing about Phlur or Phlur perfumes. I bought a special sampler kit at Sephora with other nine clean new perfumes and it was included there. I was able to test the sampler kit for a week or two before choosing what will be the winner! I have to admit, I was smitten the first time I used it. I was wearing my favorite sweater dress and I spray it all over it and my body and my first instint was to go back to bed and relax and cuddle a little longer! and for me, this Holiday winter will always be attached to Somebody wood. It is cozy, intimate, woody, sexy, comfortable to wear everyday to work! I love it!

This was the last sample in my Phlur sample set, and while there were a few scents I liked, there was nothing that I truly loved and I was feeling a bit disappointed. Until this one. I am obsessed. It was totally unexpected. I've never had a scent that actually somehow elegantly combined a watery citrus smell with sandalwood. This is definitely fairly woody and powdery, but I couldn't believe how fresh it was too. It's truly unique. I've been spraying it constantly I love it so much. I will say it's fairly weak in terms of sillage - you won't smell it at a distance. It did stay faintly on my skin for a good 6-8 hours though. Scent Description: Sandalwood Fresh Citrus Sillage: Weak - Close to the skin. Longevity: Long - faintly for at least 6 hours

Fell in love with this scent when I sampled it at the store... immediately bought the 10ml bottle to trial. Warm, woody, cozy, and just a tinnnyyy but sweet scent that feels like staying inside in on a cold stormy day bundled up. It sits very close to your skin, which I like, but it has no lasting power. I also have to use 5-7 more sprays for this than I would for any other perfume. The only other Phlur perfume I've tried is apricot privee (another love of mine) and while that one projects insanely well, it also has terrible longevity. I'm not sure if this is true for all Phlur fragrances but it's a bit of a disappointment! I love this scent so much but I don't think I will buy a full bottle because I will go through it so quickly.
