Alright, so I gotta spill the tea on this “phlur vanilla skin notes” thing I’ve been messing around with lately. Let me tell you, it’s been a journey.
First off, I stumbled upon it while doom-scrolling, as one does. Saw some influencer raving about it and I was like, “Yeah, yeah, another hyped-up product.” But the vanilla note caught my eye, I’m a sucker for a good vanilla.
So, I bought it. Blind buy, risky, I know. But hey, YOLO, right?
The first spray? Kinda underwhelming, tbh. I was expecting this intense vanilla bomb, but it was super subtle. Almost…powdery? I was a bit bummed, thought I’d wasted my money.BIG mistake judging so fast.
I wore it out to grab coffee with a friend, and that’s when things started changing. Like an hour after spraying, I started getting these little whiffs of warm, sweet vanilla. Not cloying or artificial, but like a natural vanilla bean. My friend even commented, “You smell amazing! What is that?”
From then on, I was hooked! I started experimenting with it. Layering is the key, folks. I tried it over a light, citrusy body lotion, and it was chef’s kiss. The vanilla warmed up the citrus and created this bright, sunny scent.
Then I went the other way and layered it with a woody perfume. That was a game-changer! The vanilla added this soft, comforting sweetness to the woodiness, made it super cozy and sophisticated.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
- Less is more. Don’t overspray this stuff, it’s potent.
- It needs time to develop. Don’t judge it right away.
- Layering is your friend. Experiment and find what works for you.
One time, I sprayed too much before heading to the gym. Let’s just say, vanilla and sweat don’t mix well. Lesson learned!
I even tried mixing it with some essential oils I had lying around. Vanilla and lavender? Surprisingly amazing! Vanilla and sandalwood? Instant spa vibes.
Now, it’s my go-to scent. I wear it almost every day. It’s become my signature, my little secret weapon. It’s just so versatile and easy to wear. From brunch with friends to a night out, it just works.
I also tried to make a DIY version using vanilla extract, alcohol and water. The smell was ok, but the staying power was terrible. Lasted like 5 minutes. Don’t waste your time, just buy the real thing.
So yeah, that’s my “phlur vanilla skin notes” story. From initial disappointment to total obsession. You never know what you’ll find when you take a chance and try something new. Now, I need to go buy another bottle before it runs out!
