Phlur’s Missing Person perfume is a viral phenomenon for good reason: the scent captivates from the first spritz with an intoxicating blend of skin musk, sheer jasmine, and blond woods. One whiff, and you’ll understand how this scent racked up millions of views on TikTok!
The mysterious scent is known for its olfactive wizardry — a mesmerizing potion few can resist. The viral blend also contains neroli, orange flower, and sandalwood, adding to its irresistible charm. Devotees of the scent claim that the perfume instantly reminds them of long-lost loves — like a boyfriend or a relative — and that smelling Missing Person perfume instantly brings them back to life.
The owner of Phlur, Chriselle Lim, said she wanted to create a scent that smelled like “familiarity and longing”, and she found Constance Georges-Picot — a Miami-based perfumer — to translate her ideas into a mesmerizing aroma. A skin scent that blends warming musks with fresh florals, creating an unforgettable fragrance experience.
Lim believes fragrance is so much more than scent. In her mind, perfume is an extension of style that allows us to express our mood, who we are, and who we want to be. To her, fragrance tells stories, and apart from the viral success story, Missing Person perfume tells the story of an intimate love affair that is impossible to put into words.
The mystery that Missing Person perfume represents inspired its name: The scent aims to remind you of a person missing from your life. For Lim, this is no coincidence. She dreamed up the idea of the fragrance when she was going through a painful divorce and wanted to create an aroma that reminded her of something familiar. She believes the perfume’s aromas have healing properties, encouraging you to release the emotions you feel for that “missing person” in your life.
* Why not try Phlur’s Missing Person perfume yourself and see if it conjures up images of loves long lost? One thing we can guarantee: you’d want to cuddle up to this clean yet luxuriously cozy perfume for a long time!

Meet the rest of the Phlur fragrance family
Since the success of Missing Person perfume, Phlur has remained firmly in the spotlight with a host of other fragrances — each as captivating as the next. It took some serious head-scratching, but we’ve managed to round up our six favorite perfumes from the range.
1. Phlur Father Figure EDP
Capture the essence of cool when you spritz Phlur Father Figure EDP. The perfume charms with refreshing fig, water lily, and cassis that instantly lift your spirits. Like Missing Person perfume, this scent includes some mesmerizing musks that linger in the base note, but this time, the aromas are flanked by vanilla and alluring patchouli leaf. This is the perfect scent if you are looking for an intimate yet fresh fragrance.
2. Phlur Strawberry Letter EDP
Things get a little steamy when you spritz Phlur Strawberry Letter EDP! This scent explores the sensual qualities of fruit by bottling the aromas of an alluring strawberry ripe for picking. The strawberry aromas become even more tempting once they mix with plum, cassis, and a heart brimming with red poppy and apple blossom. This scent is nothing like Missing Person perfume, yet equally as memorable as the base ushers in notes of sugar, tonka bean, and amber. This irresistible fruity love letter is the perfect scent to celebrate your sensual side.
3. Phlur Mood Ring EDP
Get an instant mood boost with Phlur Mood Ring EDP. The top notes of nostalgic fruit gummies immediately take you back in time. The scent continues to lift your spirits with vibrant orange zest and dragon fruit pulp that fuses into sunny florals like orange flower. The fragrance is an invitation to happiness; just like the mood rings we wore in high school, it promises to change the color of your current mood. The warming base of sheer amber and glazed musk adds the final touch of comfort and belonging. This scent is ideal to inspire a mood change while taking you on a satisfying trip down memory lane.
4. Phlur Somebody Wood EDP
If you’re not afraid to put yourself out there, you will adore Phlur Somebody Wood EDP. As the name suggests, woods take center stage in this sexy composition, which includes sandalwood and cedarwood, along with other woody elements like moss. The heart notes of jasmine and saffron add just enough point of difference to keep you intrigued. While this fragrance gives a quick nod to Missing Person perfume with its clever use of woods, it takes a completely different direction when it reveals its spices. This is the perfect scent if you are bold and unafraid to take risks.
5. Phlur Not Your Baby EDP
Be the center of attention with Phlur Not Your Baby EDP. This sensual scent manages to be seductive and whimsical at once. The aromas of cardamom and bergamot first hit your senses, followed by uplifting mimosa and violet. The base of vanilla, tonka bean, and sandalwood gives an overdose of allure, making the scent an instant show-stopper. Not Your Baby EDP has some notes overlapping with Missing Person perfume but steps into its own when it boldly announces its presence with warm spices, yellow florals, and tempting vanilla. This is the ideal scent if you like to subtly provoke attention.
6. Phlur Vanilla Skin EDP
Phlur Vanilla Skin EDP is a new addition to the Plur fragrance family. The decadent scent departs from other vanilla scents by focusing on the creaminess of sugar and cashmere fusing into pink pepper and red apple. The comforting vanilla lingers in the base, blending with sandalwood and agarwood. Like Missing Person perfume, this scent is a skin scent…but this one is good enough to eat! This Phlur fragrance is the ideal pick-me-up if you adore gourmand fragrances.
