Phlur Olmsted & Vaux is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Nathalie Benareau. Phlur's Olmsted & Vaux carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This green-woody scent is a divisive one, evoking everything from fresh park lawns to fancy hotel soap. If you want a clean, natural-ish 'outside' vibe that won't break the bank, and don't mind reapplying, it's worth a sniff.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Olmsted & Vaux opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of green notes, like crushed leaves and fresh-cut grass underfoot. As it settles, a woody depth emerges, hinting at damp earth and a subtle, almost spicy vetiver. There's an underlying clean, slightly soapy character that lingers, preventing it from becoming too earthy or wild, leaning instead into a polished, well-maintained natural landscape.
