The story behind the bottle.
Hepcat by Phlur was launched in 2016, crafted by Nathalie Benareau to capture the essence of an unapologetic character. The fragrance opens with a bold tobacco note that cuts through sweet and aromatic layers, creating a tension between its earthy depth and floral warmth. This composition seamlessly transitions into a woody base that adds a grounded finish, making it feel both modern and lasting.
For best effect, apply Hepcat to pulse points. The tobacco note is particularly strong initially but settles into a warm, woody base over time. It's better suited for evening wear when its earthy warmth can be fully appreciated.
