Greylocke
by Phlur
Greylocke by Phlur is a highly woody, pine-forward fragrance with strong vetiver core, evoking a crisp, earthy New England coastline. It features a clean, sharp opening with citrus and sea salt notes, quickly settling into a dry, resinous forest scent reminiscent of vetiver and pine resin. Despite being labeled as unisex, it leans slightly masculine due to its bold woody character. The scent is linear and predictable, with moderate projection and longevity, varying significantly by skin chemistry. Many reviewers find it highly wearable—especially for daytime, autumn, and cooler weather—due to its natural, outdoorsy feel. It's praised for its authentic, forest-like freshness, likened to Guerlain Vetiver or a hiking trail on a foggy fall day. However, opinions diverge: some find it too sharp, chemical, or reminiscent of car fresheners, while others appreciate its minimalist, straight-to-the-point green complexity. The scent is reported as both long-lasting and quickly fading, suggesting it’s highly sensitive to personal skin chemistry, making a sample essential before purchase.
