Big

The way Lush's forum scents work is that, once every year, Lush puts a list of their stuff up in a poll for the forums to vote on - the most popular scents get released as fragrances you can buy for a weekend. Last year (2012) Big was one of the top choices again, so I bought one. It smells exactly like Lush's shampoo with the same name. It's a great shampoo, too, just sayin'. Anyway, Big is very straightforward; it doesn't change at all. I find the notes interesting. You can't really notice them separately. I can kind of catch the orange flower, but it's blended together really well. It honestly smells like an entirely new thing. Like a really juicy, sweet fruit. I honestly feel like I could eat it. It'd be delicious. It's fresh and juicy, great for summer, but it's actually pretty strong. I'm not sure how long it lasts. I would highly recommend trying it before buying it.

This is one of my favourite 'Forum Special' scents from Lush. It's just sooo good! I've got 3 bottles stashed! I boughr one a few years ago and was lucky enough to buy two more last summer in the Gorilla Perfumes pop up shop in Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival :) I sadly cannot use 'Big' shampoo as my hair is naturaly curly so it's way too drying and volumising with the sea salt, so i'm glad i can get to smell like i've used it when i wear this fragrance! It's like a trip down to the beach in summer.

Smells exactly like Big shampoo from LUSH, straightforward and good lasting power. It's quite a unique scent with a soft, sweet, salty citrus aroma. It'd be perfect as a sea salt hair spray scent. Big is a tropical beachy scent without relying on the typical coconut/suntan lotion notes. The salty beach and warm sun in a bottle! :)

I own this baby and I love it! this is not really a review, I just wanted to brag about this somewhere :)

More herbal than expected, in the usual ugly black body spray. I don’t get vanilla, perhaps an ultra bitter neroli. I thought it would better directly on the skin, needing to be warm, nothing to die for, but easy to wear after a relaxing shower? Same thing for SexBomb from Lush (Don’t be scared by the name, i’s just bitter Ylang Ylang and not in the database yet) Ed: after using a little bit, I must say I don’t like it. It has a harsh rotten hay smell, sorry for the bad review, but it’s such a disappointment. Nothing clean or soapy, nothing even green or natural. No flower, no vanilla. Just an agressive repellent spray. Unbearable for be as a fragrance, even if the shampoo can still be interesting.
