Citrus white floral fragrance that doesn't wow me.
Personal: 7/10 - Pleasant, bright, citrusy and floral. It's a fine fragrance, but just fine.
Mass appeal: 8/10 – Citrus white florals are pretty safe. This one is no exception.
Performance: 5.5/10 - A bit sub-par, even for something bright and fresh.
Value: 5/10 – Phlur pricing is fair for niche-lite, but for this fragrance it's still too much.
Uniqueness: 4/10 - Very generic, uninspiring, but safe DNA.
SCORE: 59/100

Full bottle buy? NO, too simple to earn a spot. Sorry.
Blind buy? YES, it’s safe, citrusy and white floral. It's extremely safe.
Recommend? YES, for anyone who wants a casual summer scent that isn't quite mainstream.
Date night? NO, it’s fun and bright but not romantic or seductive.
Office safe? YES, professional and inoffensive, but it might vanish too quickly.

Pros: Bright, citrusy, fresh. It's very easy to wear and pleasant.
Cons: Linear, not memorable, disappears too quickly, and is entirely generic.

It opens with exactly what you'd expect. Sunny, bright citruses and florals. It's very pleasant, very linear, very uninteresting, and very generic. It's not unique in almost any regard, and it feels like most designer scents. Now, that said, I respect how, well, bland this fragrance is. It's uninteresting but it does that particularly well. It's worth smelling to see if it should be YOUR daily driver, but I won't use it as MY daily driver.

Another generally uninteresting fragrance from Phlur. Though it's respectable.

Review #62 in my fragrance journey – this fragrance I own as a decant

Sunscreeny, warm-weather scent
This smells like the kind of fancy sunscreen that I'm always too cheap to buy. I find that it opens pretty strong with the metallic neroli and sweet Jasmin, then it mellows out to something more powdery and fresh. It dries down a little salty and musky. This fragrance doesn't have a lot of sillage as far as I can tell but it lasted on my wrist for a good six hours while I was out in the sun. All in all, this is a lovely, sunscreen summer scent that I really enjoy.

Sun-kissed sea salt skin scent perfect for summer!
Boy, am I glad I decided to go for the travel size and not listen to the negative reviews I saw on Fragrantica. To my nose and my skin chemistry, this lovely perfume is a clear winner for summer vibes. I wouldn't wear it during any other season. I've always had a bit of difficulties at understanding what a solar perfume is but with this one, I can now say I get it.

The perfume starts out with a well-blended mix of jasmine and citrus which creates an unusual accord (at least to me). I have never smelled anything remotely similar until now. The jasmine borders on the indolic and powdery aspect, but the salt note that's deep down at the bottom reaches out to keep it in check. The citrus fruits are tangy, zesty and playful. They do fade after 15 or so minutes, leaving the floor to the other white flowers that finally do come through. Orange blossom becomes the most prominent note to me and gives a lovely soapy, clean vibe, while the jasmine closely follows after. On my skin, salt stays omnipresent throughout the duration of the perfume. It finally fades into a soft salty, woody and musky base that's pleasant to the nose, like the sun setting after a great day frolicking at the beach.

Overall it's a lovely sun-kissed scent that's perfect for summer with its bright ctruses and beautiful white flowers. The salt note is quite strong to me and the florals remind me of my mother which is why I won't be adding it to my collection. Nonetheless, it's a lovely scent!

A lovely solar fragrance that showcases citrusy florals with a nice note of salt. Perfect for that sun-kissed sea salt skin scent for summer

A fun, uninteresting, and forgettable summer scent. Citrus and white florals, but that's about it.

A really soft neroli musk with solar notes. Soft and polite.

The name captures the essence. It smells like sunscreen to me - not in a bad way.

If sun yellow were a scent. Nivea, creamy flowers, sea air. On my skin and in the heat, it smells like a canola field.

Neroli / sunscreen combo. Feels a bit synthetic/piercing to me and doesn't reinvent the wheel.

Subtle neroli turns sour, wood and salt enhance a metallic chill. This must be what sunlight smells like when transformed into electricity.
