ByVanessa Zaree
Founded in 2015, fragrance brand Phlur became a sensation when the iconic fashion content creator Chriselle Lim became its owner and creative director in 2021. Chriselle, who at the time was going through personal difficulties, said that fragrance helped her heal – hence her decision to join a name that was known for being one of the first fragrance brands to champion ingredient transparency.
Under Chriselle's vision, Phlur is now one of the most sought-after fragrance brands in the world. The gone-viral ‘Missing Person’ was born out of Chriselle's own experience of going through a breakup and missing the comfort of waking up next to someone. Ultimately, this very much sums up Phlur’s mission, which is to evoke memories, feelings and experiences that are universal to all of us.
Offering an incredibly stylish collection of genderless fragrances that are bursting with character and coolness, Phlur is an absolute must-try for both fragrance fiends and those who instantly create memories through their scents. And to help your nose take a deep dive into this unique brand, we’ve handpicked some of the most distinctive Phlur fragrances that are guaranteed to please every nose.

Be warned though – if you like statement scents, this is extremely addictive.
