[Phlur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phlur-mood-ring) is an e-commerce fragrance start-up that produces [sustainable gender-neutral fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-by-phlur) and takes care to describe the fragrance products it makes in a unique way.

Moab is a spicy unisex scent that blends jasmine, vanilla, tonka bean, long pepper and clove. While these are the notes that can be found in the fragrance for men and women, Phlur describes it as a "translation of the feelings inspired by the desert’s sun, wind, and openness."

One of the challenges of selling goods over the Internet is that consumers are not able to use their senses to experience anything beyond the screen of their digital device. As such, Phlur's product page for Moab includes a curated [Spotify](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/depop-and-spotify) playlist that helps to describe the fragrance in terms of mood through sound.
