Best Heavy Cream by Phlur Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

Inspired by the innovative use of materials that allowed 18th century clockmakers to construct the first truly accurate marine chronometers, Lignum Vitae combines elements of wood, metal and salt to produce a truly unique, transportive fragrance. Lignum vitae itself is an incredibly dense wood - the only wood which is guaranteed to sink in water - which is indigenous to the Caribbean and the north coast of South America. The brand’s nautical theme is enhanced wonderfully by caramel, a madeleine cake accord and a cool winter lemon note which provide a truly unique gourmand experience akin to smelling warm shortbread, muffins or cupcakes.

In combining unexpected and exotic raw materials, Beaufort London celebrates the innovative spirit which brought to an end the search for lost time, and permitted the safe passage of ships across the world.

Renamed for decency reasons, the perfume previously known as "Don`t Get Me Wrong Baby, I Don't Swallow" is now called "Yes, I do"

We are quoting ELdO here:

"It all starts with a hand on the nape of a neck. The hand of a man familiar with the practice of attracting young women, accustomed to crumpling their sleek hair and to getting the better of their well-behaved manners. This is the story of a man in a car at night, of a manly hand that draws a perfectly fresh face towards him - expressed at the start by a bouquet of white flowers: lily of the valley, jasmine and orange blossom–, and who anticipates the chocolaty taste and tenderness of a mouth. It is also the story of a woman who at first resists and finally goes down on him. The art of the “American kiss” unfurls on accords of ambre solaire, almond, sugar cane and marsh mallow. The man will discover everything there is to know about her: the warm roughness of her tongue, the rousing sensation of her back and forth. All there is to know and no more than that! The appetizer ends in a whisper: “Don’t get me wrong baby, I don’t swallow.”

Composition: Jasmine, lily of the valley, orange blossom, amber, patchouli, cacao, musk, marshmallow...

Perfumer: Antoine Maisondieu (who's also behind ELdO's Jasmin et Cigarette,  Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid, quite a few Commes des Garcones, Burberry and many other perfumes)

A beautifully bittersweet dance between honey and fresh lemon. A surprising herbal nuance undercuts the syrupiness of the honey, with undertones of rose and jasmine adding gentle cushioning. Sandalwood and musk lend subtle structure.

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.

"A child can either charm or annoy us with the same ruthlessness. A child can be irresistible with his angel-sweet smile but he also knows how to drive us crazy. Under the angel, the faked innocence of a demon.

After the gentle top notes of orange blossom and marshmallow, breaks the unexpected accord of coffee, leather and cold tobacco, a shrilling symbol of our sleepless nights. True to his reputation of “polymorphic pervert”, this mini-sized tyrant is only happy when he succeeds in imposing his whims, which he always manages to do.

What a sweet little monster!"

Seeking comfort in the familiar, this creamy and calming scent offers the perfect haven. Cold milk adds a cooling element to an otherwise rich and warm fragrance of marshmallow, mahogany and tonka bean.

This soft tropical skin scent opens with a burst of bright bergamot and lemon zest, setting the stage for a heart of creamy jasmine and coconut water. Floral notes of rose, neroli, orange blossom and geranium unfold beneath, adding a delicate, sunlit richness. As the sun sets, warm amber, sensual musk and airy ambrette create a lingering  finish — like sunset on your favourite island.

A seductive intriguing incense with a floral touch: the sweet haze of amber and caramel are carrying hints of honeyed jasmine and lily-of-the-valley filled with cooling dew.
