Why Phlur Apricot Prive Has a Following

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Phlur Apricot Prive opens with Apricot, Cardamom and Plum — the first impression as it hits the skin. Give it twenty or thirty minutes and the middle act arrives: Peony, Jasmin and Labdanum. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Agarwood, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood and Amber.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Fruity, Sweet, Woody, Warm Spicy — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
