As one of Marie Claire's resident perfume lovers, I'm always keeping tabs on the latest launches and fragrance trends. That said, no other fragrance brand is doing things quite like Phlur. Re-founded by Chriselle Lim in 2021, the brand constantly releases mega-viral scents, from the fruity floral Golden Rule eau de parfum to body mists that actually feel luxurious. To ring in 2026, the brand is returning to one of its hero fragrances with the release of its Vanilla Skin Body Oil.
Launching today, January 13, the body oil is set to be the answer to your dry winter skin problem. With a silky smooth formula (more on that later), it promises to hydrate and nourish skin, all while imparting a delectable vanilla scent. I'm already a major Vanilla Skin fan—the eau de parfum and body mist are my top-worn gourmand fragrances—but I've never been able to get behind body oils, preferring lotions and creams instead. If there's one thing that can get me to try an oil formula, though, it's the promise of a great scent.
