Best Afterglow by Phlur Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

An invisible tattoo of the tropics, glowing on warm skin. Latin for “tropical light”, Tropicum Luminis begins with a soft rush of cassis, coconut, apricot and plum — juicy but restrained — lifted by fresh aloe vera from the Canary Islands. The heart is floral, earthy, gently alive, with green pepper flickering amid ylang-ylang and peony. A woody resolution of Mysore sandalwood and Cambodian oud grounds this extrait alongside tonka bean and musk.

A mouth-watering gourmand inspired by the baking prowess of Jany, one of the daughters of Sora Dora flounder Antoine. We envision Jany busy in the kitchen, dusted in sugar and flour, preparing tarte tatin. The butter melts on the hot glass dish, dissolving brown sugar into syrup. The aroma swirls around the room, billows to the veranda, travels to the garden. Baked apples and cinnamon sticks merge into exhalations of puff pastry. Then come caramel, almonds and vanilla, powerful aromas that linger into the evening.

The name Pushpak comes from the Sanskrit for “season of flowers”, and this extrait is inspired by the essence of first love. Love’s first touch is summoned with notes of white champaca and osmanthus absolute, with fruity notes of peach and apricot. The warmth of a first hug is suggested by the glow of vanilla and amber, with tonka bean absolute and Thai oud deepening the experience. A tender whisper of powdery musk remains delicately present throughout.

A secret garden of endless summer, evoked by the luminous opening of blackcurrant and apricot jam, brightened by bergamot and tempered by davana. A floral heart of honeysuckle and rose glow in shades of gold. Night-blooming jasmine, harvested at the summer solstice at its most fragrant, infuses the composition. Muguet, created with headspace technology, lends a dewy, delicate facet. The fragrance settles into a luxurious base of benzoin, cedarwood, vanilla, and Spanish honey, mirroring the glowing amber warmth of the lingering sun.

A whimsical, rich and fluffy treat inspired by choux à la crème pastry and “chouchou”, the French term of endearment. This cream puff perfume is conjured with accords of cocoa, caramel, vanilla cream and sandalwood. A spritz of citrus puts a little pucker in the sweetness.

A fruit and herbs sorbet.

Granita or 'granité' in French (also called 'granita Siciliana' in Italian) is a refreshing semi-frozen dessert typical of Sicily.

It comes in an intermediate consistency between that of sherbet and crushed ice. Its current manufacture involves the partial freezing of a constantly stirred mixture of water, ice and fruit or other tasty ingredients.

Helioflora is a woody floral built like a 'granita' made with flowers, fruits, wood and herbs. A sorbet of rhubarb, apricot and basil brings a particular flavor to the floral scent of Buddleia (Butterfly tree) and the soft woody heat of a red sandalwood note.

This fragrance is inspired by love, drama and opulence of the famous painting by P. P. Rubens and the legend of Samson and Delilah. Osmanthus Noble is intense and has a strong personality and notes of Osmanthus, Ylang Ylang and Jasmine absolute flowers, spicy tobacco, warm amber and sandalwood.

At opening you can feel fresh, spicy and aldehydic notes blended with bergamot and mandarin that give vividness and intensity.  The noble osmanthus absolute combined with an aromatic clary sage play together to form a soft suede accord. Tobacco absolute, delicious black cherry, saffron and tonka beans play an important role in creating a sensual atmosphere. Floral notes of jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang give vitality and bloom in the heart. In the dry down, oakmoss absolute, labdanum, sandalwood, smoky vetiver and animalic musks bring a spiritual feeling and allow the perfume to linger on the skin.

Perfumer: Chris Maurice

From the master perfume responsible for most of the Xerjoff range, Moon Glade is a very unconventional take on lavender. The perfumer added a charred coconut shell nuance and poured sweet peach compote to the clean musky vibes of the herb.

An Eau de Parfum with floral amber notes, Mulberry Fig, is a warm creamy scent combined with bittersweet, green, and powdery orris notes to an incredible effect.

Created by the in-house perfumery team at 89 Jermyn Street.
Inspired by St James's Park, a quick promenade away from our Jermyn Street shop, one of London’s oldest Royal Parks, surrounded by some of the country’s most famous landmarks and lush greenery.
Creamy sweet and bitter green aromas encompass the shoreline of the blissful lake towered by an abundance of fig trees, immense in scale with elongated deciduous leaves flaunting their architectural foliage, believed to be the largest in Britain.

Mulberry Fig is a scent that evokes a floral amber fragrance combining the soft powdery character of orris with hints of fruit and spice. The perfume opens with a sparkle of fig and cardamom supported from the heart with fragrant green tones of vetiver and cypress. Amyris, cedarwood and sandalwood emphasise the overall woody character that permeates through the perfume.

A tribute to iconic chypre fragrances, 1993 plays with the fruity succulence of peach crashing into dense chocolate, before a final dance-off with earthy, almost minty patchouli. A commanding perfume with serrated edges. Dangerous.
