Somewhat generic, but pleasant.
Personal: 6.5/10 – It’s not offensive, but it’s not special either. I mostly enjoy it, though it's a tad sour on my skin.
Mass appeal: 8.5/10 – White florals with creamy sweetness are very approachable. Not polarizing.
Performance: 7/10 – Decent, but doesn’t project too much. It does stick around for a while though.
Value: 5.5/10 – Phlur’s pricing is fair, but this smells like any number of designer florals.
Uniqueness: 5/10 - It's a sweet, slightly creamy, inoffensive white floral. Nothing new.
SCORE: 65/100
Full bottle buy? NO, pleasant but redundant with other more designer-ey white florals.
Blind buy? YES, it’s safe enough, but nothing exciting.
Recommend? YES, if you want a polished, easygoing, creamy white floral.
Date night? YES, feminine and smooth, but more casual than seductive.
Office safe? YES, professional and simple. Most people won't mind it, but don't overspray.
Pros: Mass appealing, easy to wear, soft and creamy white florals. Not much to love.
Cons: Generic, forgettable, and lacking depth. Aside from that, not much to hate either.
This is a VERY safe floral fragrance. This is the sweeter version of Ameline, if you ask me. Whereas that focused more on pink florals and citrus, Phloria focuses more on white florals and citrus. It's two sides to the same fresh, bright floral equation. It's nothing remarkable, and if that's what you're after, this is a perfectly fine option. But compared to the plethora of designer, and even some niche, white florals out there, this one isn't anything outstanding. Very simple, very linear, and you can guess what it'll smell like.
Phlur's take on simple white florals. And as long as you're fine with something very simple, it's good! Otherwise, you won't find it particularly enthralling or memorable.
