Chelsea Morning

I fell in love with it instantly. I was DJaying in a hardcore techno club and my cute friend came up to me and showed me this and I’m glad that she did. I was taken aback. It’s what I love in scent, my first impression was warm, golden syrup - drizzled, fresh gingerbread cake. It smells like Jamaican ginger cake or golden syrup cake with a fresh lemony hit. I bought a bottle and used it up so fast but now I’m on my second bottle I’m more sparing and careful as this isn’t a fragrance for every occasion. The lemony hit is quite synthetic but mellows out quick and turns into this sweet, warm butterscotch scent. The fenugreek is an unusual note which comes out after it’s settled down. It cuts through the sweetness and adds a savory element but layered with the wrong fragrances, it smells a bit too earthy or curry-like but it’s only a minor note that comes out when I’ve paired it with the wrong fragrance. The solid stick version is better imo. It’s pure butterscotch goodness. It’s quite strong too. It leaves a trail of caramel scent in the air whenever you go but it’s a polarising scent. Perhaps not as polarising as say... Angel by Mugler but people either love this or think it smells a bit too food-like. I personally love it. I would say it’s my signature scene but it’s specific and I wouldn’t wear it for everyday occasions. Luv it tho. 9/10

This one wasn’t an instant love at first sniff but I do really like it now. The first time I smelt this the opening smelt very citrusy due to the lemon. However, after wearing this out and about and smelling the dry down I can definitely now say this is definitely worth the hype. I didn’t at first think this smelt that similar to super milk and I still don’t think it’s super close to super milk, however when I wore this and my sister smelt it she said “it smells like super milk” and I was a bit surprised she instantly picked up on that. While it does similar to super milk, it’s not as creamy and lactonic. The toffee / tonka bean in Chelsea morning is what makes it different. I would say I do enjoy the smell of super milk better than Chelsea Morning though. If I had to describe this scent: A sweet toffee lemon biscuit with a bit of a caramel drizzled on top that has been caramelised till it’s slightly burnt. The opening in Chelsea Morning is quite different to the dry down. The opening basically smells like lemon and toffee, with a biscuit-y smell to it. In the dry down it smells slightly smokey, kind of like a burnt caramel / biscuit smell a bit. If you like the supermilk hair conditioner then you’ll definitely like this one. Score: 8.5/10 (smells uniquely good)

An absolutely addictive, mouth watering gourmand! If Super Milk and Sticky Dates had a baby, it'd be Chelsea Morning. I always get nervous trying scents with lemon notes, as I've always found them to be a bit too screechy or sharp for me, like Lemon Pledge. Chelsea Morning's lemon note is nothing like that. It opens with that soft lemon to accentuate a cloud of sticky, sweet toffee and rich vanilla, wrapping you in a warm embrace of golden, lemony butterscotch. This scent is the definition of a soft, buttery lemon cake with a rich caramel drizzle. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as I could see how this might be too sweet for some. I personally don't pick up any spice notes, which isn't a dealbreaker for me. I'm going to stick to wearing this during cozy seasons as I can see how it might be a bit cloying to wear in the summer/warmer months. The only thing I would change about Chelsea Morning is the longevity and projection. On me, this lasts maybe 2-3 hours and is a very intimate skin scent, which is disappointing as it smells so lovely. But, if the sacrifice I have to make for a delectable gourmand like this is reapplying it often, I'll gladly take it any day. Chelsea Morning -- where have you been all of my life?!

MY PRINCESS. I LOVE HER. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Easily one of Lush's best gourmands. Even the rather strong citrus opening can win me over. On the dry down, you are graced with cinnamon cookies, vanilla batter, a pumpkin spice latte on a warm, autumnal day. If you're quick to play Taylor Swift's 'RED' the second September hits, I'm sure you'll be able to identify with this scent. Now, the citrus opening is something to be aware of, but in my opinion it doesn't take away from the gourmand goodness - it only adds what could be considered a unique twist, something to set it apart. Chelsea Morning is the hidden gem between Super Milk and Sticky Dates. On my skin, I've been told it's reminiscent of biscoff biscuits. The longevity and projection are as good if not better than what you'd expect from a £25 Lush scent. I've found it lingers on fabric particularly well. My Chelsea Morning has ran out, but I'm very excited for my re-buy. In the meantime, I haven't found another Lush scent which has enchanted me so ♡

In loveeeeee! Smells like you mixed Super Milk and a teeny bit of Sticky Dates. I was a bit unsure about this at first since the lemon is quite strong for the first hour of wear, but the toffee and vanilla deepen immensely. After an hour, it’s super decadent and caramely with just a hint of citrus. I also start getting a light maple-y fenugreek after about an hour, though not really any myrtle. Has moderate sillage and lasts all day AND MORE. I can sometimes even smell it on my skin after a whole day and a shower.
