This week, I continue on with my love of sweet scents. Just call me the fragrance Willy Wonka. Plus, I did a bit of a design revamp. Why no, I'm not a graphic designer. Why do you ask? 🤪 — Nic
Phlur Caramel Skin Body Mist Review
Body mists are super trendy lately. Hello, recession indicator. Phlur is a brand that has jumped on the bandwagon, and it has gone viral for its Vanilla Skin mist. Personally, the vanilla scent leaned too floral and perfume-y for me, so I gave the caramel version a try.
➡️ Product: Phlur Caramel Skin Body & Hair Fragrance Mist
Price: $39 for 8 oz. at Sephora
Notes: Top: Bergamot, Caramel | Heart: Warm Milk, Vanilla Bean, Caramel Cream | Base: Brown Sugar, Sandalwood, Musk
✅ Why It Works: This is a body spray that performs like a perfume. I’m seriously impressed with the longevity. I think it’s a great value, considering the huge bottle.
As far as the scent goes, I like it, but I don’t love it. It is a very realistic caramel, and I give Phlur major props for that. Think hot caramel drizzled on fresh popcorn. If you like foodie gourmands, this will be right up your alley.
❌ Why It Doesn’t: While I like the bottle itself, the sprayer nozzle isn’t great. It feels cheap, and mine doesn’t give a fine mist as I’d expect for the price.
Buy It? If you want to smell exactly like fresh caramel, then yes. If that sounds like it would be cloying, then you’ll want to pass.
