Olmsted & Vaux Phlur arrived in 2016 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the green and fern families. Perfumer Nathalie Benareau is the author behind this composition. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
Behind this fragrance stands the United States and its rich perfumery heritage. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Olmsted & Vaux is shaped as an expressive line of development, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Phlur is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Wood without random overlap. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a natural green mood: Green Chord and Woody Accord. In this case 2 notes work as one coherent layer, building pure greenery effect that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The inner phases are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Green, Wood and Earthy / Mossy. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Fern and Green.
In summary Olmsted & Vaux holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.
