PHLUR Strawberry Letter Perfume for Women & Men, 50 mL | Strawberry & Tonka Bean Eau de Parfum, Fruity Floral Fragrance with Plum Nectar, Apple Blossom & Sugared Amber

Honestly why would anyone think this is a masculine option? It's a strawberry scent with greenery following. I'm not a perfumer so forgive the lack of technical terminology. It's not an artificial scent like a strawberry poptart. It's literally more like you carried bushels of strawberries from the field and the scent of the outdoors and the berries stayed with you. The strawberry isn't in your face strong and fades a bit as you wear it, but it's a pleasant gourmand scent for warm months. The longevity is okay, like many gourmand scents...you'll want to carry it in your bag to refresh by lunchtime.

Great scent, not too loud and last all day. Love this perfume.

Just the way how I expect. ❤️ Thank you

When first smelling it, it doesn’t smell much like strawberry but I do still love the scent. The best thing I can compare it to is the Caress brown sugar body wash lol. I know perfumes are supposed to sit for a while to get to the smell they’re described as but I still love it even if it’s not what I was expecting! Other than that the scent last a very long time, it was still stuck on me after showering.

It smells SOOOO good. It makes me want to eat myself. In a not weird way. The smell lasts and it smells good. It’s the perfect strawberry scent imo.

… and I’ve learned my lesson! I kept seeing the ads on Facebook and Instagram about Phlur fragrances and Body Mists. I know better! I created SEO content for major brands for a decade and am one of the jerks who used all those fancy key words and inserted them into ads just like the ones Phlur uses to suck gullible consumers like myself, into buying something. Even worse, I’m a fragrance snob who usually sticks to what I know works with my body chemistry. But nope, I ignored my own gut telling me this was NOT going to be a fun and fruity scent. Initially I ordered the Mango and another fruit scent via Phlur’s site after caving in to the ads. Then I read through more of the comments and kicked myself. A LOT of people said to order off Amazon if ordering Phlur scents because when ordered straight off the brand site, orders were never received or were coming from Scandinavia and Europe in general. I ordered this scent, Strawberry Letter, via Amazon as so many suggested doing. Received it in two days (still haven’t received order directly from Phlur). Upon smelling the perfume in the bottle itself, it was a bit acrid smelling (reminded me of the sharp, unpleasant smell that Glossier’s “You” has) and then a super sharp cheap strawberry wine scent hit me. Yuck. TLDR … I guess my body chemistry laughed and said, “So you decided to FA & you FO …” It smells like Baccarat Rouge 540 which I loathe! It smells like cheap men’s cologne and curry on me. This Phlur Strawberry Letter stuff smells like the Baccarat fragrance but with sour-milk-swamp-booty notes that dry down to stale- curry-and-old-man-in-the-Deep-South. Save yourself some disappointment and a potential headache (like the one I’ve got) and go to Sephora - the only retail store that carries Phlur- and smell/sample this stuff BEFORE you buy it. I am going to return this and pray that the “Heavy Cream” scent (also Phlur) that I blind-bought on Amazon and gets here Friday, smells better, and that I receive the other stuff ordered from Phlur directly and that it doesn’t make me shed massive tears of fragrance-regret.

If you are, like me, a strawberry obsessed girlie this is the fragrance for you. Most ppl in my life know I love strawberries. My hair stylist used to call me strawberry girl, those are my qualifications for this review lol. If you're trying to leave the world of bath of body works type products behind but you still want a perfume that smells specifically like strawberry and not just suggestive of an idea of a concept of a strawberry, this is the one. Lasts (on me) a long time especially when layered w lotions and potions. I like to increase the strawberry meter by layering w strawberry lotions but a vanilla lotion or whatever creative combination you feel can be fun. Lots of people online have made suggestions better than mine combining lotions and oils etc.

Honestly was pretty disappointed, it doesn’t give off strawberries in my opinion. I was looking for a new strawberry scent but this one was not the right one for me. It smells good but doesn’t really give me that fruity scent I was hoping. My bath and body works strawberry poundcake scent works better. I’m giving it a 3 since the packaging is pretty cute and smells nice.
