I'm a gourmand fragrance lover and this TikTok-viral body spray is my handbag staple - get it while it's still in stock!
Dessert-inspired fragrances are trending right now — Sabrina Carpenter recently launched 'Me Espresso', a chocolatey, coffee-inspired perfume, and Ariana Grande's R.E.M Cherry Eclipse literally smells like a bakewell tart — however, for me, there's one that takes the cake (no pun intended).
Fragrance brand Phlur, which was relaunched in 2022 under Creative Director (and now co-owner) Chriselle Lin, is no stranger to its scents going viral (Missing Person and Vanilla Skin are both well-loved on TikTok) - and now Heavy Cream joins the brand's cohort of body mists and perfumes.
Phlur Heavy Cream Body Mist 3oz
Described by users as a 'warm vanilla hug', Phlur's Heavy Cream Hair and Body Mist boasts decadent base notes of vanilla mousse, salted caramel and whipped cream.
A must-have for lovers of gourmand and lactonic fragrances, the body mist can be worn alone, or layered with other fragrances for a richer scent. Spritz liberally on pulse points and into hair for a grown-up, confectionary-inspired scents that's sure to earn you a flurry of compliments. It's viral for a reason.

Described as a 'symphony of gourmand notes that entice the senses', Heavy Cream opens with top notes of lemon sugar, marshmallow, and orange, middle notes of coconut cream and jasmine blossom, and base notes of vanilla mousse, salted caramel and whipped cream. And customers are already obsessed.
'This is my favoruite Phlur fragrance, even beating Vanilla Skin,' wrote one customer. 'I could not stop sniffing my arm. I used my small bottle up in no time as I'm seriously addicted to this! I am on a large bottle now - it's so sweet and yummy. It has a subtle coconut note, but not overpowering. It smells of a yummy marshmallow!'.
'If you're into cosy, sweet scents, Phlur's Heavy Cream is heaven in a bottle,' noted a second user. 'It smells like warm vanilla whipped cream - super creamy, a little milky, and just the right amount of sweetness without being sickly or artificial.
'It gives off major 'wrapped in a blanket' vibes, and honestly, it's perfect for those days when you just want to feel soft and comforting. It's like a warm hug in mist form'.
'I'm absolutely in love with this body mist!', penned a third customer. 'The scent is so soft and creamy, like a warm vanilla hug, but it's not overly sweet or artificial. It's perfect for everyday wear when you want something subtle and comforting.
'I was surprised by how long the scent lasts for a mist - I can still smell it on my skin after a few hours. Definitely a new favourite!'.
Though mists usually evaporate much quicker than eau de parfum, due to a lower concentration of oils within their formula, Phlur's Heavy Cream boasts impressive projection and longevity, and I've received several compliments throughout the day when wearing it.
While the rich scent smells incredibly luxe, a 3oz bottle comes in at a purse-friendly £25, while the full-size, 8oz version costs just £38 - and I've vowed to never be without it in my handbag (its earned me as many compliments as my usual, high-end perfume does).
Sweet without being sickly or juvenile, the confectionary-inspired perfume blends notes of whipped mousse, whipped cream and salted caramel - and it's a must-buy for those who are a fan of creamy, lactonic scents.
Committed to creating fragrances inspired by places, feelings, and universally shared memories, Phlur's portfolio of scents are great worn alone, but can also be layered with others in its collection for your very own, personal fragrance.
Because I like to smell like a walking baked good, I layer mine with the brand's Vanilla Skin Deodorant — infused with skincare actives for soft-to-the-touch skin, and BHA's to neutralise odour and brighten — and ensure my bottle is always in my bag for touch-ups.
With celebrity fans of the brand including the likes of Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Whitely, among others, it's no surprise the latest addition to the Phlur collection is blowing up online - and if you want to get your hands on it, we'd be quick: Missing Person, another TikTok-viral release from the brand, sold out in just five hours in the US.
