Truth Lush

Thanks to Nathalie I am a proud owner of a bottle of Truth Lush. I love it! I wear the original since it was released. I'm not ready to review it yet :) Truth Lush is a perfect woody aquatic. This is what I expected from DSQUARED2 fragrances. She Wood was too powdery with its violet, Velvet Forest Wood was too green and sharp. Truth Lush is a perfect compromise between those two. Don't know how a bamboo smells ... Truth Lush smells fresh, slightly green, a bit citrusy, not too musky. I don't get any floral notes. Like a broken twig of a fragrant tree in spring rain. It's both natural and modern. My favourite combination! Makes a perfect warm season fragrance. I feel so much 'in my own skin' wearing it. It doesn't disturb, but it's noticed. Wonderful! So suave, so well-balanced. If it was an animal, it would be a gentle roe :) The bottle is also lovely. I adore opaque glass and simple, linear shape. The sillage is quite big, but the lasting power isn't. But I don't mind (at least it lasts longer than all the DSQUARED2s!) Thank you Nathalie! :)

Maybe the most archeological piece in my collection. I haven't found anything as to when it was discontinued, but my guess is 15 years ago. In fact, the only bottle I could find was a deadstock tester. Now I'm not sure whether the scent was altered, I find that oldies will sometimes start smelling a bit like a graphite pencil over time, but the one I got is still perfectly wearable and it also has great longevity. I'd say it's a creamy, musky, citrusy perfume, very 2002 indeed. Smells deliciously clean. Petition to bring it back! We still need fragrances like this one.

Thaks to Vertigo for this beautiful perfume ♥ Truth is one of my favorites from long ago. I always keep a bottle but i had never seen Lush. Now I can see how different they are in the background, Lush is a different water, a different place. Clean, bright, green lemon is really a field of bambo mixed with the aroma of bergamot. Pure, simple, beautiful and refreshing. Good longevity , very natural , light and fresh. (I completely agree with the view of natalieZ ***)

I LOVE this scent! The original is more lemony and tart, sharper, and this is much more to my liking. Its top notes remind me very much of Lanvin's Oxygene and I prefer this over that AND the original Truth. Pink pepper isn't listed as a note but I swear I get that for the first hour or so. This lasts quite awhile on my skin; if I put it on before bed, I can always smell it the next morning.

I love this perfume and I'm so sad that I can't find it anywhere anymore. My friend bought it for me and it is still the closest I've ever come to a signature fragrance. It's fresh and sophisticated, young but not childish, feminine but not girly. The closest I've come to a replacement is DSquared She Wood, but it's not as good.
