Have you ever taken a whiff of something and been immediately transported back in time? No, we’re not talking about time travel; we’re talking about nostalgia! Throwing ball with your dad, building blanket forts with mom, playing video games with friends. Well TikTok claims this new perfume (Phlur Missing Person) is meant to bring out ALL of the nostalgia. Not necessarily memories of childhood, but of someone you miss. But does this actually work? We tested the TikTok product to find out!

Missing person perfume sounds like something a serial kidnap murderer would make…
it’s secretly the love potion from Shrek 2
Honestly style theory has to be the most unique and creative of the theory channels
I’ve actually had experience with finding a smell that reminded me of a lost one.
One of my grandparents (we simply called her “Grandma by the river”) passed away when I was young.
One of my teachers recently had come back to a trip to Germany I believe, and one of the items she brought back was a bar of hotel hand soap that smelled EXACTLY like my Grandma by the river’s house!
Matpat, I just wanted to say thank you for making your theory videos. I went through a rough patch. Nobody’s gonna see this comment anyway, so I’ll be honest. I was going to commit suicide. But do you want to know what stopped me? It was your videos. They gave me something to look forward to in life, and I could never thank you enough for that. You’ve been my idol ever since I was little, and if I had one wish it would be to meet you irl.
“Missing Person” perfume makes it sound like it’s made of someone who was slaughtered in a remote location.
Reminding you of a perfume someone wore and what that person smelled like to you are two entirely different things.
11:58 Proust’s Madeleine (or Madeleine de Proust in French) is actually a pretty common expression in France, usually referring to something (color, smell, food, …) triggering a memory, so it’s not as obscure as it may seem
I don’t know why but my first idea was that a bottle ominously labelled “missing person” would smell like decomp. 🤢
You should do a video on the replica line! The whole concept is it’s bringing up memories. With scents like beach walk, sailing day, by the fireplace, coffee break! I would love to see a video of you guessing what the memory is supposed to be!
Missed opportunity to have everyone put the perfume on! Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t some of them mix with your smell to create something more unique to you? Could have been nice to see everyone get that unique take, maybe even use each other’s smells to see if it has the effect. But I also know that no one wants to put smelly things on their body that will then be there all day so I get it lol.
Yours and Steph’s inside joke being Madeleine de Proust is amazing haha! 😂
To be fair I automatically don’t trust anything Michaela says and specifically don’t buy things I see from her. All she does is do what a brand tells her for money. She’s not the only one it’s the whole community.
I used to work in a professional perfume shop and every scent is gonna smell a little different on every person, and the best way to smell test a “skin scent” like this one is to put a very light amount on your wrist and let it sit for a minute or so before smelling it. It shouldn’t be applied heavily at all, and when first sprayed it will be much stronger than it’s meant to sit during the day
Flaw in the test. The ticktockers put it on their wrist. You put it in a card.
The chemistry. Between your body and the perfume is a key factor.
“i’ve only really dated 4 girls in my life and 2 of them were in elementary school” almost had me for a second
I don’t know why MatPat focused so much on romantic love here, the perfume just says it reminds you of someone you love and miss, so actually bringing the up the grandma is exactly the sort of thing it’s meant to do. It was never meant to bring up an ex for someone happily in love with someone at present
“It’s hard to believe a perfume could bring someone to tears seconds after sniffing:
Me with a perfume of Hand Sanitiser, Petrol and Onion: Are you challenging me
Makes sense that the perfume would smell akin to a grandma’s/grandma’s house/an old dressing room. The familiar scent is possibly coming from used makeup products/perfume that is stacked heavily in the dressing room of your mom or grandma that has accumulated skin cells after much usage. Hence, the volatile organic compounds that triggers smells of the ingredients from the used beauty products + the skin cells attached to the makeup object or perfume creates this unique scent, which then the producers try to replicate using skin musks. Or not hehe.
Regarding the “you put it on a card, not your wrist” is this:
Putting it on the skin will automatically give it a more personified smell.
Your human smell mixed with the perfume = person’s scent
Perfume on card = perfume’s scent
I think MatPat was trying to see if it was the perfume by itself doing all the “missing person” work, but didn’t think to say it to us, or over think it in general.
