I haven't left a fragrance review OR purchased a rose-centric fragrance in a long time, and this scent inspired me to do both. I felt it was owed. I found a few differences between the solid scent and the spray - both of which I had to get! Here you go: -Solid perfume: The absolute embodiment of the scent of the Lush store. There is a cute story behind this scent that tells of the Lush perfumer creating this for his daughter, but I find it's the perfect mix of youthful and mature. POWDERY, candied raspberry-roses, with a powdery (less masculine, more sweet-candle) lavender almost rounding the scent into something bubblegummy. This descriptor aside, it is not cheap or immature smelling, although fairly linear and very long-lasting for 10$. A little goes a long way! It's actually pretty potent stuff. May trigger headaches in those that are rose-sensitive. -Spray perfume: The largest variance between the scents that I found, was this spray version is WAY more lavender-centric. Much more heady and spicy - almost feels "buzzy", unisex, less-innocent. The sweet, powdery roses are understated and more of an afterthought. I actually think the dry-down is more elegant in the spray perfume, it almost is an entirely different scent though. Still the embodiment of the 'Lush store scent' - just leans closer to Twilight or Sleepy, and with that hint of sweet raspberry crayon-roses just peeking through as a whisper! I love them both, and they are both different in their unique ways! (more bang for your buck in the solid though!)

This is raspberry candy heaven with a Lush vibe to it (if you like that sort of thing). Luckily for me I do enjoy sweet scents that lush comes out with but if your are no fan of sweet fruity florals, keep away from this one. This reminds me of a raspberry pop or a sparkling raspberry-ade. This perfume stays true to the cute story behind it. From what I read on the Lush website, the perfumer who also designed Imogen Rose after his first daughter's name, Simon Constantine, made another for his second daughter after being advised by Imogen Rose. Amelie Mae personally picked the notes to be put in the perfume and here we are with a sweet, young, happy and bouncy fragrance. I don't like giving perfumes a gender but it does smell more suiting for females, especially young ones at that. It reminds me of teenage girls with bubbly laughter. I don't wear this on a daily basis but enjoy it from time to time when I need something to refresh my mood. 8/10

The top of this fragrance is a sharp lavender, aldehydic and alarming. I don't enjoy the top notes, but they only last a couple of minutes before transforming into something delightfully like breathing in a box of fresh, unburned raspberry incense. A deep, sweet incense, a little fruity, and super long lasting. The person who said it kind of smells like walking past a Lush store - I think that's accurate too. I know a lot of people think this scent is young and bouncy - but I don't get young or bouncy at all. The incense part of this fragrance makes it more grown and sultry, in spite of the sweetness. Not a lot of sillage, unfortunately. I'd love to be a walking cloud of this scent. But I'll take what I can get.

I really love this! It’s sweet, savory, floral gosh! It has everything it needs to be comforting and completely wearable! I have yet to visit a lush store so I cannot make that connection! But I will say that first spritz I get a beautiful lavender tang very close to the Young Living Lavender essential oil; so immediately I feel relaxed and calm and happy to experience it as it dries down! Then it’s a yummy zingy raspberry and light florals not overtly rosey but rather lightly sweet mix of ylang ylang and a hint of rose! I really enjoy this mix it’s wonderful!

Too reply to amberonic down below; I am a guy who loves this scent a lot. I didn’t know it was being discontinued, what a shame... I will have to go slowly with my bottle I’ve had for a few months now. It is very sweet, a unique sweet though for sure, not a cheap or synthetic sweet but a very satisfying blast of some fruit stand in Tahiti sort of vibe. Winner, great one to have in my collection and I actually wear this quite a bit... may have to snag a backup if this is going away :(
