by Phlur
Not Your Baby by Phlur is a soft, powdery, and slightly lactonic fragrance centered around vanilla, tonka bean, and a gentle floral-mimosa accord. It opens with a hint of cardamom and bergamot, quickly fading into a delicate, milky vanilla base. The scent evokes nostalgic associations with vintage baby powders, Johnson’s Baby Lotion, or old floral skincare products—some describe it as nostalgic, others as overly sweet or synthetic. It’s consistently noted for its intimate sillage and proximity to the skin, making it more suited for close encounters than public wear. While some find it charmingly sweet and reminiscent of Prada Candy or Commodity Milk, others describe it as overly juvenile, headache-inducing, or reminiscent of playdoh, baby wipes, or even burnt rubber. The fragrance lacks strong longevity, fading significantly within a few hours. Its performance is best on warm days, where it can bloom slightly in heat, and it's most appreciated for its light, gentle presence rather than bold presence.
