Phlur Solar Power Eau de Parfum

Scents described as "solar"—a fairly new descriptor in perfumery—evoke the delicious feeling of sunlight on your skin. (Think: Breezy, sunny, light, uplifting, often with lots of floral and/or citrus notes.) In the aptly named Solar Power, bergamot, orange flower, musk, driftwood and sea salt bathe skin in what can only be described as the bottled-up scent of fresh air and sunshine, making it the epitome of a solar perfume.
