Flying Fox

lush has reintroduced this scent in the form of body wash, and as a body lotion in their subscription service. i'm shocked there hasn't been more conversation about this scent. i can't speak to how it was formulated in 2019, but i can attest now that this scent truly is worth all of the praises it gets. if lust is slutty, wet jasmine- then flying fox is slightly-less-slutty, wet earth, jasmine, and honey. like an enchanted wood after heavy rainfall. i definitely pick up the honey and cypress sooner than the jasmine and ylang ylamg, though that could be the body wash formulation. the sweet, woody smell acts as a first impression, and the sensual florals stick close to the skin. it's very inviting. not sure the percentage of fragrance collectors who are also familiar with magic the gathering- but if you want to smell like the card ''earthbind", reach for flying fox. it may have no effect on non-flying creatures, but it will definitely have an effect of you.

This scent was a wonderful surprise. I wasn't expecting much for a 35 Euros bottle of a Jasmine centred fragrance. I absolutely love the smell of Jasmine blooming flowers, It's narcotic, addictive, joy-inducing. But I'm really not keen on synthetic Jasmine, it gives me a headache and it smells cheap. The real deal for me is Jasmine Essential oil or Absolute which are very expensive and as a result makes to scent very expensive. Flying Fox is a Jasmine dream come true, it's a white jasmine flowers delight!! Additionally, it performs like an Eau de Toilette, if not an Eau de Parfum. It ticks all the boxes. Bravo Lush!!!!!

One of my all time favorites. I was obsessed with Lush's Flying Fox body wash for years, and it's the first fragrance I've grieved when it was discontinued. Now it's back as a body spray, and the scent is as gorgeous as ever. Superbly jasmine centric, charming, and a mood-booster. I always wear this when I'm going through PMS and it significantly cheers my blue-to-bitchy moods. And my partner always compliments me when I wear it. Please never discontinue this fragrance again!

Strong, potent, honeyed almost photorealistic jasmine!! It is very sweet, less earthy, aromatic and FRESH. I feel as if it has a citrus undertone somewhere. But it's there. How on earth is this a body spray when it projects hard?!

Really enjoyed this one. Perfect for summer evenings, reminds me of being in a Mediterranean country as the sun's going down. Smells like very realistic jasmine to me, and the strength and longevity is amazing for a body spray.
