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

ADORE! I wasn't sure at the smell on a tester strip or in the air but on the skin it's perfect. Smoky, not too warm, not overpowered with anything sweet. I don't go for gourmands at all and thought this would be too syrupy or too icing-vanilla but smelled it anyway at a sephora, maybe I would be wrong. INSTANT purchase! Bitter and romantic. I am always looking for a fireplace kind of scent that doesn't include extras so I am totally satisfied. New favourite! It's like I have been in the mountains camping and came home and my clothes smell of smoke and cacao croissants.

i LOVE this fragrance. the complexity of the pepper and incense are grounded by the warmth of the vanilla and amber. it lasts a fair amount of time for a body spray, but i wish they sold it a perfume as well so i could smell it on me longer. it's sultry, serious, mature, and mysterious. it makes me feel like i could pull off a bodycon dress and compel a man give me his credit card information. it's the kind of scent i didn't know i wanted until i smelled it. i cannot get enough of it.

I love smokey scents and perfumes, this definitely leans less towards incense and more towards fire smoke like from a campfire, and the sweetness of the vanilla balances it perfectly. A lot of reviews mentioned it smelling like cigarette smoke which I personally disagree with but it is definitely a nice smokey smell. It is very reminiscent of the smoke from putting out a vanilla scented candle. Im using it on my clothes and hair and its definitely there, but not overpowering.

similar to by the fireplace by mason margiela, definitely could be worn together. by the fireplace is more bonfire smoke whereas this is more candle or church incense smoke. while by the fire place dries down to a lovely vanilla, this one combines the two. i like wearing this with alot of different fragrances when i wanna give a more androgynous vibe, like as a masculine accessory to a very feminine perfume

It hits you with a wave of smoky sweetness! I love this fragrance. I'm a huge fan of "By the Fireplace," which this scent closely resembles and pairs incredibly well with it. I really enjoy the cacao note, as it adds to its edible quality. There is an almost cigarette-like smell that some people have pointed out to me, especially when I first spray it. Though it doesn't really bother me.

This is the most addictive and perfect winter scent!! It is very strong and long lasting for a body spray. I get a very sweet vanilla with a campfire smoke, incence, balsams and an herbal and medicinal scent. It is very interesting, unique, delicious and addictive. It is blended so perfectly. I could bathe in this stuff!!! The best fragrance in the entire Phlur range!!!

As a lover of tonka, incense and pink pepper, I was delighted to come across an affordable fragrance with all of these, and this quickly became one of my favorites. Spicy and peppery at first but dries down to an ambery, smoky vanilla. So sultry and profound, a shame it lasts so little on my skin. Adore the harmony all of these notes create.

Drooool...🤤 OMFG this is good stuff. Smells kind of like a candle at first then transformed into a smokey, skin-like musk with the vanilla being a creamy texture instead of sweet. This is not sweet and I couldn't be happier! A your-skin-but-better scent after standing by a campfire made of aromatic desert woods. 10/10 So glad I bought this!

This vanilla is sweet, but balanced so nice w the smoke fr fr. I totally wanna layer it with more smokey things, and I’m thinking of using some bakhoor for that 🤩 it reminds me of Lebkuchen baking lol, and I also could totally see it being worn by men or women in leather jackets like someone else comment, it just has that lil vibe yk

This is the scent that made me search for a nice vanilla scent (ended up being Vanilla Skin), but I fell in love with this scent it's sweet but smoky but super soft. It's almost like you started baking something and also lit some incense at the same time and the two became married into one.

Not much vanilla but plenty of smoke. Super warm & spicy, smells like a sweet fire if that translates. Almost like a bonfire where everyone's dropped marshmallows into it. Also super great longevity for a body spray, even better than some edp's I've tried. The price point is another bonus.

Tried this out at Sephora and HELLO???? This is so sexy. Kinda gives 1920s noir vignette sort of aura. The balance between the vanilla and the birch + incense as the most distinct notes I smelled is incredible. This scent was made for cold and unforgiving winter nights.

Has a strong peppery opening very reminiscent of By the Fireplace. As I sat there wearing it I realized it had a more incense like thick smoke smell. But other than that it is nearly identical to BtF with a 10 hour+ wear time. Perfectly realistic, mysterious yet cozy.

To me this smells like a cross between By The Fireplace and Liis Bo, but not as strong or 'thick'. I love these. So you'll either like it or hate if this is 'your' vibe. For a body spray 5 / 5. Lasts a very long time for a body mist. Cooler weather, or cool evenings.

Very woody and smoky with heavy incense qualities. I don't find it sweet so not for traditional gourmand lovers, more of a vanilla extract style hint instead. Delicious though and can easily be sweetened up by layering if desired.
