Strawberry Letter Perfume for Women & Men, 9.5 mL – Strawberry & Tonka Bean Eau de Parfum, Fruity Floral Fragrance with Plum Nectar, Apple Blossom & Sugared Amber

I ordered the Phlur sample set and this scent Strawberry Letter is my favorite by far! If I would have listened to some of the bad reviews I would not have found one of my favorite perfumes. It is true, there is not a heavy strawberry scent but is an addictive scent difficult to describe because I am not a perfume specialist. I have not worn perfume in several years because I worked in the health care industry and couldn’t and wanted to try a soft scent. I love this scent so much I ordered the large bottle and am considering ordering a second bottle so I can have it with me at all times. I have received many compliments when wearing it. Because of the mixed reviews my inexperience with perfumes I would recommend ordering the sample set or travel size so you don’t hate me if you don’t like it. I will also be ordering larger bottles of Soft Spot, vanilla Skin, and possibly Rose Whip.

Starts out strong and then fades to a gentle warm scent. Strawberry forward and very sophisticated. I sprayed three sprays on my shirt and could still smell it the next morning. Love it!

I like this one so I bought the caramel skin which is wonderful I love the smell of both of them but this one is a little stronger than the caramel skin my bottles did not leak it has a little strawberry smell but once it's settles down it's like a vanilla flavor.

Scent is a bit strong but is not unpleasant, if that’s what you’re going for. Scent notes an under smell of tobacco. Like strawberry scented pipe tobacco. Again, I don’t think it’s unpleasant it’s simply a bit too masculine for my taste. I really think this product can be marketed as a unisex cologne. I probably will wear it occasionally but not often because it’s strong for my taste.

… and I’ve learned my lesson! I kept seeing the ads on Facebook and Instagram about Phlur fragrances and Body Mists. I know better! I created SEO content for major brands for a decade and am one of the jerks who used all those fancy key words and inserted them into ads just like the ones Phlur uses to suck gullible consumers like myself, into buying something. Even worse, I’m a fragrance snob who usually sticks to what I know works with my body chemistry. But nope, I ignored my own gut telling me this was NOT going to be a fun and fruity scent. Initially I ordered the Mango and another fruit scent via Phlur’s site after caving in to the ads. Then I read through more of the comments and kicked myself. A LOT of people said to order off Amazon if ordering Phlur scents because when ordered straight off the brand site, orders were never received or were coming from Scandinavia and Europe in general. I ordered this scent, Strawberry Letter, via Amazon as so many suggested doing. Received it in two days (still haven’t received order directly from Phlur). Upon smelling the perfume in the bottle itself, it was a bit acrid smelling (reminded me of the sharp, unpleasant smell that Glossier’s “You” has) and then a super sharp cheap strawberry wine scent hit me. Yuck. TLDR … I guess my body chemistry laughed and said, “So you decided to FA & you FO …” It smells like Baccarat Rouge 540 which I loathe! It smells like cheap men’s cologne and curry on me. This Phlur Strawberry Letter stuff smells like the Baccarat fragrance but with sour-milk-swamp-booty notes that dry down to stale- curry-and-old-man-in-the-Deep-South. Save yourself some disappointment and a potential headache (like the one I’ve got) and go to Sephora - the only retail store that carries Phlur- and smell/sample this stuff BEFORE you buy it. I am going to return this and pray that the “Heavy Cream” scent (also Phlur) that I blind-bought on Amazon and gets here Friday, smells better, and that I receive the other stuff ordered from Phlur directly and that it doesn’t make me shed massive tears of fragrance-regret.

That's how you know a fragrance has truly won you over: one bottle quickly turns into an entire collection. Phlur has this knack for creating fragrances that are clean yet addictive, subtle yet memorable. I like warm, cozy, slightly sensual scents with a touch of boldness — perfect! And Rose Whip at the end? Bold, modern, and totally irresistible. Honestly, this is the kind of collection I use depending on my mood: • for a cozy day • for a confident night out • for when you want to receive compliments

Honestly was pretty disappointed, it doesn’t give off strawberries in my opinion. I was looking for a new strawberry scent but this one was not the right one for me. It smells good but doesn’t really give me that fruity scent I was hoping. My bath and body works strawberry poundcake scent works better. I’m giving it a 3 since the packaging is pretty cute and smells nice.

Perfect strawberry scent, not too fruity and dries down to a nice light floral smell
