The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Olmsted & Vaux by Phlur was crafted by Nathalie Benareau as an aromatic green fragrance for both women and men. This scent opens with a fresh, green topnote that evokes the lushness of a well-tended garden before settling into woody undertones that feel like walking through a serene forest. The composition is a harmonious blend of nature's raw elements, designed to transport you to a tranquil outdoor space.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays on your pulse points. The green topnote is most noticeable initially but fades into the woody base notes over time, making it perfect for daytime wear.

Coconut water and flamenco rhythm

Born in 1974 in Thonon-les-Bains, France, Nathalie Benareau grew up between Algerian, Spanish, and French influences — the scents of couscous and Spanish tapas shaping her nose before she moved to New York.
