Phlur Missing Person Eau de Parfum
At a glance
Summary
Phlur Missing Person Eau de Parfum scores 50/100. A women's musky-floral EDP that went viral on TikTok in 2022. Strengths: Phlur publishes the full aromachemical breakdown on the product page (rare for any commercial fragrance), and the musk profile uses macrocyclic Ethylene Brassylate plus the cleaner synthetic sandalwood-replacer Sandalore (saving the endangered Indian sandalwood species). The critical issue dropping the score: this formula contains hydroxycitronellal — an EU 26 fragrance allergen and one of the strongest documented sensitizers in the IFRA database, in the same family as the EU-banned HICC and IFRA-restricted Lyral. Patch-test positive rates rival those of Peru Balsam. Combined with benzyl salicylate (recent SCCS endocrine-activity concern), this puts Missing Person below the cleaner Phlur Vanilla Skin formulation despite the same brand-level transparency.
