Confetti

My nose isn’t so well tuned yet but I think I can smell coffee and almonds only on my skin. I smell fresh pear and roses covered in a dusty powder in the air and on my clothes. It lasts a long time on me. There is a very fresh and green quality as others state. It wasn’t love at first or even tenth wear. I thought it was too feminine for me. I gave my sister a sample and loved it on her and so I tried a few more times and I love it now. I did have a sample of lipstick rose for comparison. Lipstick Rose is smooth and refined and so incredibly well blended. LR is luxurious and elegant, the gold standard for vintage make up/lipstick perfumes imho. In comparison, confetti is screechy and sharp, a little off. I personally know someone it is headache inducing for....but not me!... and I do prefer Confetti over other similars, I’m a Lushy and it just suits me much better and I feel more comfortable wearing it. It better suits me and my being. It does not smell like Rose Jam to me. I'm fine without compliments and I’m even more ok if it keeps people away from me haha. But really, it does smell good and I love it so much more now that I’ve been wearing it a couple seasons.

I bought this impulsively in the store because I was so taken aback by this scent! My senses are confused, in the best way. This fragrance has an entire storyline, a beginning/middle/and end! Just like Lush’s older fragrances (The smell of weather turning, etc.) It opens with a WARM, woody, cinnamon-y chocolate coffee note. The dry down happens so softly, before you know it this delicate and powdery doll-head violet is present, mixed with rose and damp earth. If you know Lush’s violets, you know they are DEWY. humid. It’s a thrill of a scent. ADDICTIVE! It’s ~simultaneously~ always two sides of each coin and I just can’t figure out how. Unisex, yet both “delicate” and “robust”. Woody, and dry- yet sweet and full of humidity. Vague and comforting yet definitely not a people pleaser. Every single element is tangible at all times - ITS A PUZZLE TO ME ENTIRELY. Definitely spray it ON skin when you’re in the mall next! Walk around!

I was looking for a perfume with rose and violet leaf combination. I tried La Douceur De Siam Dusita sample but it left me disappointed when it lasted a whole two hours on me for such an expensive perfume. So, I was hanging out in a Lush store trying out perfumes since I have a gift card and the SA pointed out Confetti saying that this is limited edition. I don't like coffee note so was a bit hesitant. Thank god, I can't smell the coffee note but the first blast was a refreshing rose scent, sweetened by the pear. The dry down is the best part, a matcha tea and almond combination. Weird, right, at least on my skin, that's what I get. The scent last 6 hours and I get whiffs of rose throughout. This is a winner in my books.

Firstly, this is one of my favourite perfumes but I’m confused by the perfume I have after reading all these reviews - I don’t get lipstick/make up or sugar almonds or strong violet! To me it’s, at first, a rose and violet fragrance with a pinch of green stems but after a few minutes it turns into carnation and a touch of clove, with rose and violet in the background. I used to wear Potion (a carnation based perfume and body lotion by Lush) a long time ago and the dry down of this smells very similar to that - which makes me very happy but seems to be a completely different fragrance to the one every one else is smelling. I’ve obviously got very odd olfactory receptors haha!

Dewy and super green in the opening, but the opening only lasts a few seconds. It quickly dries down to green violets and rose with a slight undertone of coffee. It certainly has a quality reminiscent of sugared almonds, but I think it smells closer to Rockets candies. The rose comes off as a bit jammy, which reminds me of a more sophisticated version of Rose Jam. This is like an airier, greener Montale Intense Cafe with violets. Very pretty! New favourite spring scent for morning or casual occasions. Notes according to my nose (in order of prominence): ionone and green violets, jammy rose, coffee bean

This perfume is pure sugar and I love it! Depending on the situation, the opening is either very green or very reminiscent of Hale's Blue Boy syrup which is a great nostalgic blast of one of my favorite sugary drinks growing up. It's cream soda, a little almond, a little caramel and very, very yummy. I don't find it over bearing but I have yet to try it on a very warm day. It dries down to a very flattering sweet sandalwood scent. It's probably not for every day but I think it smells great and gives me joy whenever I smell it.

Can’t explain why but I absolutely adore this perfum, the opening is quit strong and kinda tickles but it settles in a relaxing and comforting smell, definitely rosy and powdery but with a touch of papier d’Arménie, which makes me love it more then lipstick rose for this very reason. I look forward to wearing my clothes that still have the smell left on it <3 only critic is that my skin doesn’t keep the smell that much ;( but that might be just my skin lol

Initial spray smells like coffee liqueur (kahlua) and not exactly coffee (there’s a difference I swear) because this is sweeter and greener, it kinda smells like coffee and green tea mixed together. On the dry down it’s all just the soft and powdery violets. I don’t know where the rose and pear are I can’t smell them very much but this is a genius fragrance because I’ve never encountered this before where the initial spray smells nothing like the dry down

This hits you with sweet prickly pear and vanilla and then dries down into a sweet woody scent. The pear stays but it turns more into a candy-sweet smell. It's beautiful. I've had this perfume for a while now. I only wear it for days I want to smell very sweet because the sillage is intense. I will say that while I was in Rome, Italy, I smelt this smell everywhere in natural areas. So now it pleasantly reminds me of Italy :)

Powdery fresh aquatic roses, sugar dusted with a dash of almond. The almond notes make the sugar not too sugary ror cloying, just nice and pleasant. I do love my rose-violet perfumes, and this one is one of the greenest I owned. Thankfully the aquatic rose doesnt turn sour on my skin (some roses does). and the powdery rose, is not the heavy dried potpourri roses... they are fresh and just nice. love.

I purchased a bottle of this in the Edinburgh Spa store, just after i had a 'Renaissance' treatment downstairs in the spa. (Which was completely magical!) Confetti reminded me of Charity Pot body lotion, but with lashings of violet and coffee notes. One of those scents that you sniff and keep coming back for more!

What a gorgeous scent that is brilliantly blended with two seemingly contrasting notes, i.e. violet and coffee. The final composition is rich and sensual. The lipsticky/leathery violet and the gourmandy coffee are married to create a surreal floral that is beyond this world. A must try.

Gorgeous complex candied violet. Now discontinued. Get a bottle while you still can!

This was named Confetti because it reminded some people at Lush of the candied almonds served at weddings. And I don't understand that at all. It's a violet scent to me, no almonds in sight. If you want candied almonds, try Reminiscence Dragee instead. That doesn't mean Confetti is bad, just misnamed. It opens with a spicy green blast of violet leaves and flowers. For a moment I can sense the pear and coffee note, but they move far into the background really quick. If you test this at the Lush store with a mask on they're easy to miss, at least this is how it was for me the first two times I tried it. The violet is intense though. It's sweet, dewy and slightly spiced. Now that I think about it, the scent is quite close to a violet dragee instead of an almond one. But blended with the rose it also reminds me of glossy 90s and 2000s lipsticks. The ozonic green leaves are noticeable, too, so several facets of violets are present in this perfume. In the drydown the scent finally turns more powdery with the sandalwood warming it up. I wish the other notes were a little more present next to the violet, but that's just my personal taste. This is a nice sweet floral and quite strong, easily projecting through a leather jacket with one spray. Contrary to some other perfumes by this brand it doesn't smell like the Lush store or like bath bombs and doesn't have a homemade vibe, so it could work even for people who aren't big fans of Lush.

The first blast is slightly odd, but within a few minutes it settles into a lush (!) creamy, rose/violet sweetness. Yes it's definitely reminscent of sugared almonds, but there's a waxy/creaminess that keeps it from being 100% gourmand. A good thing, to my nose, since I like gourmands to smell like perfume - not an exact copy of foody scent. I wouldn't have thought of coffee unless I knew it was there, but it adds a roundness and edge which is nice. This also reminds me of Lipsalve, one they don't make any more, I find it soothing and very pleasant, and though I don't usually go for sweet perfumes, this is lovely. The drydown has something like a woody labdanum that's quite earthy. Remind sme of Miller Harris perfumes. I think it would suit anyone who enjoys a flirty feminine perfume that's high quality. Sillage is noticable, longevity very good.

I know that this perfume is named after candied almonds that people find at weddings, to my nose this comes across as ozonic-salty smelling. This is shocking to me because I would expect something that is gourmand, sweet and crunchy. I kept smelling my wrist to deconstruct the smell in my head and I realize that this effect is what violet brings to the composition. I do smell coffee, but it is not as strong as the coffee in Cardamom & Coffee. I can detect rose and sandalwood as well. But somehow, the sandalwood in it does not bring the creamy effect that I normally find in sandalwood based fragrance. It stays dry and sharp to my nose. Thankfully, I cannot trace any pear scent, which I detest. All and all, this is an intriguing smell and it rough around the edges.

Fresh and green with violet being the star of this fragrance. Lots of pear right from the bottle and when sprayed, but the dry down on my skin has only a hint of pear. The longer this sits on the skin the more palatable it becomes, turning into a lighter powdery violent scent that is more ozonic on me, but doesn't have much projection. I don't smell any coffee or sandalwood so I'm not sure where that is coming from lol. If you like the Daddy-O shampoo from lush this is that with a sweeter more feminine twist. For some reason I also think that if you enjoy the 'Alina' fragrance from lush you would like this one as well. To me its also very different than Lush's other violet fragrances, V and Kerbside Violet.

Confetti is a quietly impressive fragrance if you're able to distinguish the scent from the name and marketing. I think the coffee and sandalwood create the impression of nuttiness, and the pear, though not a particularly detectable note on its own, gives it a hint of sweetness. I can see how sweet nuttiness evokes the feel of candied almonds, but this is in no way a literal representation of what's going on in Confetti. Instead, it's a green floral with a hint of something roasted and nutty, dusted with sugar. I find it earthy and calming. It's not evocative of weddings, and it's too serene to be particularly celebratory, but it's very nice.

I blind bought a FB on ebay a while ago. I was just curious about the notes and the price was just fine. Quite interesting. To me it smells like suguered almonds + violet with a sniff of coffee. This is the only perfume with coffee as a note that I own. I like the smell of coffee but I don't want to smell like it. So far the coffee note in that one is light enough that it is easily wearable.

Rose, violet and sugared almonds. What it claims to be basically. Green to start with with vioet leaf I like the opening a lot but it dries as a sugary sweet rose. Not my favourite, a bit sweet for my tastes but pleasant enough on the odd occasion. Not a daily perfume for me.
