Vanilla Skin

by Clément Gavarry

Phlur Vanilla Skin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Clément Gavarry. The fragrance opens with Pink Pepper, Red Apple, and Sugar Cane, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily, and Cashmere Wood, and dries down to a base of Benzoin, Vanilla, Oud, and Sandalwood.

Our verdict on Vanilla Skin: Favourite

A truly divisive vanilla that either hits the mark for a 'skin but better' woody vanilla or totally misses it, smelling like bitter pencil shavings or cat litter. If you're after a grown-up, non-cloying vanilla with a spicy kick, this might be your jam - just be ready for the initial pepper blast.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its warm, sensual, and projecting nature makes it excellent for dates or casual wear, especially in cooler weather. While some find it subtle enough for the office, its strong sillage and 'sexy' vibe might be a bit much for professional settings. It's definitely not one for the gym.

About

Vanilla Skin opens with a sharp, peppery burst of pink pepper and a hint of sweet red apple, swiftly balanced by rich sugar cane. It mellows into a heart of delicate jasmine, lily, and soft cashmere wood, before settling into a deep, warm base of smoky oud, creamy sandalwood, and resinous benzoin, all wrapped in a comforting, slightly boozy vanilla embrace. It's a complex, almost 'toasted marshmallow' kind of vanilla, steering clear of sickly sweetness.
