The house of Phebo gifted the world with Flor de Maio in 2021. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the spicy, wood, and balsamic families. Released in eau de toilette.
Brazil is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Flor de Maio unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Phebo comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Gourmet, Floral and Wood without random overlap. Background accords such as Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
When the structure is mixed the fragrance opens as a single chord with a expressively spicy mood: Black Pepper, Copaiba balsam, Ginger Lily, Tonka bean and Woody Accord.
The middle and base stages are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Spicy, Balsamic, Whiteflower and Wood. From a family perspective the scent maps to Balsamic, Spicy and Wood.
In summary Flor de Maio holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.
