Overview

• Laura Mulley, The Mirror’s beauty editor, has switched from high-end eau de parfums to PHLUR’s Beach Skin hair and body mist as her go-to fragrance this summer.
• The mist starts at £25 for 88.7 ml, with a larger 236.5 ml bottle priced at £38 after smaller formats sold out online.
• Its sweet-salty-musky profile captures the essence of sea-sprayed skin and sand between the toes and earned her a rare “you smell nice” compliment from her boyfriend.
• Packaged in lightweight plastic, the bottles slip easily into handbags or beach bags without the worry of breakage or saving them for best.
• Because it lacks the lasting power of traditional perfumes, frequent top-ups are necessary and she recommends longer-wearing options like Jo Malone’s Beach Blossom Cologne or Estée Lauder’s Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche Skinscent.
