Phlur Somebody Wood. Warm woods and leather. Like a hug from your lumberjack friend who just got off a motorcycle – hypothetically, I have no such friend. Maybe it’s more like the lumberjack wore a leather jacket and was out for groceries, and you bumped into each other and this was the scent. A nice take on the woodsy notes that have dominated the market, and a solid attempt at warming up that synthetic leather which can come across as too fresh, too new car…
Ultimately, if you liked the old Phlur scents, then you might not love the new ones as they are a change in direction. No longer are they earthy and natural-smelling… now they’re more in line with what you’d find at Byredo but if you liked those, then maybe you’ll like these. The leather, for me, has this quality of entering my nose and getting stuck there, and then I can’t get rid of it, which isn’t what I want from a scent experience, so it’s not for me.
If you’ve smelled this, weigh in.
