The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Moab by Phlur, launched in 2016 and crafted by Ralf Schwieger, is a woody spicy fragrance that captures the essence of an earthy yet modern sophistication. The aldehydic opening introduces a fresh mineral quality, while the warm spiciness and sand accord evoke a sense of rugged terrain. This composition balances the natural with the refined, making it a versatile scent for both day and night.

How to wear it

Apply Moab in light layers to allow its complex accords to unfold naturally. The aldehydic top notes are fleeting, but the warm spiciness and woody base will linger throughout the day.
