Father Figure, by Phlur, released in 2023, opens with green, sulfurous blackcurrant, milky and green fig, and soft, sensual water lily. The heart blends warm jasmine and powdery iris, before a base where sandalwood, musk, and patchouli unfold their woody and animalic facets.
Blackcurrant, green and sulfurous, marked by bitterness, occupies the top with fig, green and milky, and water lily, soft and sensual: the greenness of the blackcurrant and fig contrasts with the softness of the water lily.
Jasmine, warm and sweet, sits alongside iris in the heart; iris, powdery and buttery, recalls violet and straw, while jasmine keeps its wild warmth.
Velvety, animalic sandalwood accompanies musk, animalic and powdery, and patchouli, earthy and camphoraceous, in the base; the animalic note links the sandalwood and musk on a shared base.
