Vanilla Smoke

I'm really enjoying this one! Another winner from Phlur. It delivers a lovely scent journey, with a blend of spicy, sweet, and smoky notes that evolve beautifully. For being a mist, this is pretty long lasting. The opening is bold, with the fresh, peppery zing of pink pepper, which reminds me of freshly cracked peppercorns. Combined with the earthy, slightly resinous touch of birch and the bright, citrusy hint of bergamot, the initial burst is a strong one. As the fragrance softens, the heart notes reveal a sweeter, comforting side. The vanilla is rich and warm, balancing the smoothness of a velvety white cacao. The tonka brings an inviting warmth that wraps the senses in an almost nostalgic embrace, adding a cozy sweetness that perfectly complements the spicier top notes. The base notes introduce a smoky, resinous quality thanks to the incense, which brings to mind the image of sweet, burning wood in a fireplace. Peru balsam and amber round out the fragrance, adding depth and warmth, making the scent feel grounded and comforting. To me, this body mist bears resemblance to Phlur's Somebody Wood perfume in its woody warmth, but with a noticeably sweeter edge. It has that same rich, cozy, and inviting vibe, but with a more pronounced sweetness thanks to the vanilla, cacao, and tonka bean. It's a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys a woody, warm fragrance with a soft sweetness that lingers beautifully on the skin.

HIIIII im back!!!! so i smelt this like one month ago and wasn't too sure with what to say but now im more sure now!!!~ scent: GOD THIS WAS SUPER GOOD, its a smoky vanilla, thats it!!! super simple yet effective, pretty unisex on my nose but its slightly masculine, but no issue to girls wearing this, it gives off amazing vibes for anyone who knows how to rock a leather jacket, im a very sportsy person so i dont know how to do that but alot others can!!! the quality was good and doesnt have the "perfumey" quality that most scents have nowadays, it doesnt have the disgusting ambroxan note, which was great too!!!!~ 8.5/10 very simple but even more effective performance: i didnt expect anything at all from this scent in terms of performance but even that exceeded my expectation, lasted about 7-9 hours on me which is insane for a cheap 240 ml bottle that goes for max 30 dollars, impressive indeed, you can use it anytime and anywhere to further boost the performance. 10/10 its a secret code to smell like a hot buff tomboy biker, which i think is cool as FUCK!!! i love this scent and im planning to gatekeep this and store it in a bunker, seriously good stuff. BYEEEEEE!!!!!!~~

As others have said, this is great for layering. To me, it feels like a less musty, less dusty, more mass-appealing semi-dupe for Moth by Zoologist. I love Moth, but it definitely has that antique, fancy, old, dusty closet quality to it. Vanilla Smoke takes a similar peppery, smoky, sweet DNA and makes it warmer, softer, and easier to wear. I get a lot of vanilla incense from this, which is pretty much exactly what I expected and wanted. It has some warmth and sweetness, but it doesn’t turn into a straight gourmand. The smoky/peppery side keeps it interesting, and that’s probably why I like it so much. It’s simple, but in a way that makes it super useful. This is easily my favorite Phlur scent I’ve tried so far. I especially love it for layering with darker or more atmospheric fragrances because it adds warmth, smoke, and a little sweetness without completely taking over. That being said, I still judge it as a body mist, more in the same category as Bath & Body Works or Victoria’s Secret mists. It doesn’t last forever by any means, though I do find it lasts a bit longer than those usually do. Still, for what it is, I really enjoy it and reach for it a lot.

Wow! I love this on its own and it's also perfect for layering over many many of my perfumes, I've tried it over spicy ones and vanilla ones it adds depth & intrigue. It's definitely a sweet, sultry, smokey, incensey vanilla, the smoke is still delicate enough for me. I find the vanilla a little in the background but definitely very sweetening and a lasting note, the white chocolate is very rounding and creamy, while the woods are very grounding. For a body mist this is fire. I'm very happy with it. This will be perfect on date night but can be worn during the day as it's not too too strong or too smokey for my tastes. I disregard the slightly negative reviews I've seen as in my opinion it's definitely how they described it in the marketing. It's also unisex, it has enough sweetness and is not masculine leaning it's right in the middle, but would love to spray this on my boyfriend. I didn't really like MM's By The Fireplace but I love this one.

oh wow. I think Vanilla Smoke is lovely. To me, it's a mixture of MMM By the Fireplace and Phlur's Vanilla Skin. It's a tad sweeter and lighter in comparison to By the Fireplace. It's also similar to YSL's Babycat. Babycat is too strong for my nose and there is a rubbery accord that my nose sniffs out instantly, which is unwearable for me. It wears sweeter on the skin. On the blotter paper, it is spicier. Phlur's Vanilla smoke is a lighter version of that smoky vanilla profile. It opens smoky spicy, and woody. As it dries down, it resembles vanilla skin more and more. I think this is a great intro to the smoky vanilla profile. I really like this one. It definitely embodies that sultry, sweet, and mysterious style that Phlur has marketed it to be. And is a great topper for a wide variety of other perfume profiles since it is unisex. As it dries down, the birch is a bit more prominent, giving a savory flair to this. So unique and good. 9/10
