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.

I first had a sample of Somebody Wood, which turned into a travel size, and then later a FSB purchase when I heard it was being discontinued. Phlur may not be the most sophisticated brand, and this may not be the most sophisticated wood scent either, but it kicked off my own personal exploration of more oud and unisex/masc leanings as an otherwise femme, so for that I am grateful! I've worn this fragrance for ski trips the past few winters and it's now turned into a winter-nostalgic scent for my husband and me both. I disagree with other reviewers about longevity; I find that this baby PERFORMS (lasts on my skin all day, and on clothes for DAYS), and I love the creamy-vanilla and musk balance to the wood notes.

This is an incredibly welcoming woodsy perfume. I'm a bit of an entry level connoisseur of wood perfumes, and this is definitely the safest for everyday wear. No one will tell you that you smell like a forest fire. I feel like the lack of smokiness here is unique- it's cozy but fresh. It's not dry like wood shavings. The citrus isn't very obvious or punchy here, but it keeps the overall fragrance light. Nothing about this fragrance is screechy or sharp in the nose. I often reach for it when I'm getting ready for bed. I love a big smoky woods bomb of a perfume, but I turn to this when I want something softer and more calm. I think this could work in all seasons on the right person.

This is a gorgeous fall/winter scent. I think it would work well for day or night-time but i would not say it is office -friendly because it definitely is bold! I also love Jazz Club for the winter but sometimes i feel like it is missing "something" and is a bit empty-Somebody Wood has that something! This is deep, unisex and to me the saffron and amber combination is what makes it stand out. The sandalwood makes it creamy and the musk just makes it magic on the skin. I don't get much of the top notes, but that might be what keeps it from feeling too heavy. If you couldn't quite commit to Jazz Club because it was too dank and cigar-y, I would try this!

I'm very picky with my sandalwood fragrances especially when sandalwood is dominant. Some of them can come off like dill or straight up BBQ so I like my sandalwood fragrances to have some sweetness to it. Somebody Wood is the perfect balance of woody and sweet. The sweetness doesn't overpower the scent at all. It's not too loud. Stays pretty intimate on me. If you like a clean sandalwood minimalistic scent, I would give this one a try. EDIT If you have Atelier Cologne Santal Carmin or Room 1015 Ten Fifteen, you don't need this. They all smell similar. It would be redundant to have all 3 like I do. 😄

I tried a sample of this when I bought the Phlur discovery scent from Space NK. I really like this. I was looking for something for autumn/winter that wasn’t too offensive. I tried Ebony Wood from Zara but it just seemed a bit too overly heavy for me and it didn’t sit right on my skin. This has the right balance which could possibly be the sandalwood. Will definitely be purchasing a bigger bottle for the colder months. Update: pairing this with Vanilla Skin body mist will give this a beautiful woody sweet vanilla vibe

Oh. My. God... this fragrance is the exact smell I’ve been searching for years for!!! It’s such a luxurious woody scent, like the type they use at high end hotels. The dry down is literally so beautiful. If you like the smell of guaiac wood you’ll love this! If someone knows a good affordable dupe for this (or anything that pairs well) please let me know as I am trying to use my travel sized bottle sparingly until I can save up for the full size ♥️♥️

Idk why more people don’t talk about this. To me (my personal opinion) this is intoxicating. It smells so good. The saffron makes it so sensual and sexy. Completely unisex, smells great on me and I can’t even imagine smelling it on a man. I keep smelling my wrist, and getting whiffs of it during the day. Lasting power is great. I definitely get the saffron, sandalwood, amber, musk and vanilla. Blended to perfection so addictive! I love

Spicy, woody, deep vanilla, with a hint of leather. Loving it. Only detecting the base notes on me, but I don't mind that at all. It isn't a sweet, dessert-y vanilla. Instead, it's a rather sophisticated one. And I don't get the slightly "chlorine" note emerging during dry down, which I do with most vanilla fragrances. The well-modulated blend also somewhat reminds me of Back to black by Killian.

Somebody Wood probably isn't going to blow your mind, but it sure is easy and comfy cozy. It's quite powdery and a touch sweet and bright, which nicely balances the musky woodiness. It's very inoffensive and feels at home in all seasons. It's right up my alley and one I go to when I don't want to think very hard about what scent to wear. I do wish it lasted longer.

An intimate, sweet, woodsy and powdery scent. So enticing, every sniff is followed by another, then another, then another. The type of scent that makes you want to shove your nose into someone’s skin. Feels like the scent trail of the most boujee and sensual cigarette that doesn’t exist. Loves it 9/10

This is very beautiful and authentic sweet wood perfume. I love it. It's gorgeous, straightforward, beautiful, and very sweet. Not tooth rotting sweet but beautiful sweet. It has gorgeous sandalwood notes, saffron and reminds me heavily of byredo perfumes. It's not too much in your face!

I loveeeeeee this fragrance. Got it randomly as a gift and I think it suits me very well. I like to mix it with tihota indult and it has become a signature scent. Reminds me of what a cool rockstars girlfriend may wear in like the late 60s, sorry about it!!!

oh i love this one. i want to marry it. i want to bathe in it. unfortunately, i think i also literally would have to bathe in it in order to get any kind of projection. my dream fragrance would be this, but ten times louder.

My mother hates it, so I wear it all the time. Woody, leathery, old book covers. The moss comes through strong, but not a green moss, a dry moss on a rock. Completely gorgeous and indulgent.

Why do my favorite scents get discontinued :( This is a fall winter scent cool confident girl in a cafe reading vibe. I have not found anything close enough to a dupe.
