Somebody Wood
Somebody Wood by Phlur is an unisex eau de parfum in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot and lemon, moves into jasmine, saffron and cyclamen and dries down to sandalwood, vanilla, musk, amber, oakmoss and cedarwood. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Cyclamen Watery, green and airy. Used to make florals feel light.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
