Calacas

I blind bought this perfume (2019 edition) after trying the Calavera bath bomb, and it didn't disappoint. They're pretty close to each other. Calacas is a sweet lime scent. Definitely green lime and not some other citrus fruit. It's summery and refreshing and a bit candy-like, quite warm, sweet and long-lasting for a citrus scent. I also get some of that incensy bath bomb fizz that many Lush perfumes have, which I sometimes find annoying, but here it's a nice addition. Maybe cause this is a fresher scent where some fizziness doesn't feel out of place. According to the Lush website this scent family is reminiscent of funfairs, which I usually rather associate with cotton candy, roasted almonds and candy apples. I'm not sure which lime flavored things you would find at a fair, maybe a slushy or those long gummy ropes? A fair this is not the first thing I would have thought of when smelling this, but it certainly fits the happy atmosphere and colorful lights you'd find there. A fun, uplifting scent for warm days and evenings.

Love this one!!! Smells just like Day of the Dead. I feel the sweet notes, the neroli, and the lime are equally present here, and they are delightful! It smells like lime gummy bears. I just want to eat it up! This is the most delicious lime scent I have ever smelled, and it's making me absolutely love neroli. I guess I get the olibanum too but not until later. The scent has pretty good lasting power for something with so many delicate notes. I would say this is one of my favorites in summer, and it's a great pick me up on a gloomy winter day. EDIT: I'm wearing Calacas on one wrist and DOTD on the other and they smell the exact same!! I don't think there was any reformulation done. If anything, the Calacas is a little stronger (maybe) but then again, this bottle is brand new and the DOTD bottle is about 5 years old. (Still smells fab though!)

My favourite scent of all time. Have the lush forums bottle, the lush kitchen UK bottle and the body spray. They all smell the same. They're wonderful. It's very strong and I can't wear it everyday but I save it for special occasions. It really is a lime candy scent. Like the green jelly easter eggs from see's candy. Love of my life.

Green skittles! Omg, new love! Candy scents make me so happy! I wish Lush would re-release this because it's lovely and I NEED more of it. Luckily there's a lady on ebay who makes good dupes...

I was hoping this would be a sort of candied citrus in the same way Lush’s Electoplasm is a candied citrus; still very fresh, sharp fruit! But this is much more of an ambery smelling caramelized lime. I guess I was ultimately disappointed. But it does still generally smell like the lush store like some product long ago I can’t remember, so I’m torn whether to keep it.
