Phos by Bejar

I’ve had Béjar on my radar for years but didn’t dare try it for fear it might be weird, until I saw a video and finally gave it a shot. I don’t know the Creed one, but this Phos seems original and rich. It has a phosphorescent green color and a lively vibe, perhaps due to an unlisted mint or peppermint accord that gives it a mentholated freshness. It’s a strange fragrance; I don’t smell individual ingredients, but rather a floral-green-woody blend with a constant sweet spot, like a balsamic peppermint musk, curious and addictive. I see it as usable year-round, but it performs better in the heat: at 13 degrees it lasted 3-4 hours projecting, then another few hours on the skin; in the heat, it can last two hours longer. It’s discontinued but available for under €50, which is great for a niche scent. The downside is its monstrous and vulgar packaging for a 50ml bottle. A minor issue for this green kryptonite elixir that I love for summer. Au revoir!

I’ve had this Béjar on my radar for years, afraid it might be ‘weird’ like other scents in the Vibrational collection, until a YouTube review convinced me to buy it. I absolutely love it: original but rich in olfactory depth. Its neon green color and lively vibe suggest an undisclosed mint or peppermint accord that adds a mentholated freshness. It’s a strange fragrance, hard to break down, smelling floral-green-woody with a sweet balsamic and addictive touch. I wear it year-round, but it shines in the heat where it lasts longer and projects well. At 13 degrees Celsius, it lasted 3-4 hours on my skin. Discontinued, but you can find it for under 50 euros. The only downside is the monstrous and vulgar bottle for 50ml. Worth it for this green kryptonite elixir for summer.

Hi there! Béjar is a brand that lives in the shadows, outside the hype, but not because they make bad perfumes. This Phos is a masterpiece right from the start. It’s fresh, floral, with sweet traces and very pleasant. You feel clean, put-together, and ready for the day, totally daytime. Upon application, it’s citrus with flowers, many white ones, and a strong, bright, almost translucent musk. They say it’s inspired by Creed Millésime Impérial, which I don’t know, but I can assure you Phos is excellent and costs much less: I bought it for under €15. If you think it doesn’t last at all, you’re wrong! It performs very well; on me it lasts over 7 hours with decent initial projection that fades after an hour, but it stays with you for a long time.

To start, I’ll list the notes since Fragrantica doesn’t have them: top of lemon and orange, floral heart with bergamot, and a base of sandalwood and musk. It’s the freshest Béjar I’ve tried. I bought it in December and put it aside thinking it didn’t last long—a monumental mistake. With the current heat, it performs amazingly. The opening is citrusy and fresh, with a sweet orange touch and a hint of unlisted mint, balsamic and mentholated. As it dries down, it leaves behind sparkling, effervescent white flowers, perhaps due to the bergamot. Then woody notes appear with a very subtle smoky incense whisper. The dry down is musky, woody, smoky, and spicy, elegant and sensual. I absolutely love it; it’s versatile for hot weather, lasts over 7 hours, projects well at first and then stays close. Perfect for spring, summer, and warm autumn days, day or night. Fresh and sexy.
