Grass

GRASS is BACK! I had used the shower gel in this fragrance until it was no longer produced, and my many pleadings with Lush Corp. did no good :( Life could seem terribly disappointing! My favorite fragrances all discontinued or worse: re-issued but reformulated, and now...GRASS was gone. But then three months ago I discovered that GRASS was available! (and I always said, "This ought to be bottled!) I wrote to LUSH and asked about the formulation.They assured me that it was exactly as the shower gell: same scents, same everything. The cost was reasonable, so I just took the chance, and ordered it. At first try I was not happy. It didn't seem to have the earthiness, like a newly sharpened cedar pencil that I remembered. The powdery, soft ending wasn't what I remembered. But it wasn't..."bad," and I was determined to use it until the bottle was empty. It might have been day three, or maybe day 4, when I had that same feeling again: the swoon I would experience using the shower gel, hot steaming water nebulizing the fragrance so that I stood in a cloud of GRASS, stepping out of the shower feeling so perfectly happy, leaving that scent on the towels, walking in it for hours, loving it. Thinking: "I wish they would bottle this too..." This GRASS in a bottle IS the same as that lovely bath product, and I am thrilled to have it again. There is nothing artificial about it, but it is complex, unique, and as well as "the freshly cut grass," there are other elements that can be singled out and enjoyed as it changes on my skin throughout the day. I know it wasn't me that Lush listened to, but I'm just so GLAD it's back. Now if I could convince some others to re-release in original form my cherished fragrances...are you listening Perry Ellis, Dior, Ralph Lauren, Roget & Gallet, Guerlain......

The first spray was pretty astringent and very VERY herbal. Almost like Pine Sol and dry, California grass. It settled down quickly into that grassy field smell. But I mean *dry* grass— long wheat strands blowing in a big empty field. Woods and neroli in the background. It’s a hot day on the coast here and I’d say the sillage is perfect for me. I can certainly smell it through my mask. After a few hours the fragrance warmed up into powdery woods (the violet note I presume) and the smoke note edges it out just nicely— keeping it from becoming too feminine and “soft/elegant/powder room”. I’d say at the 3-4 hour mark is the sweetest the imagined “grass” smells— it’s a bit greener, freshly cut. Lush really made something photorealistic with this one, and I understand the previous comment about the target demographic— who would wear this? Me? Probably. It’s a stand out, an herbal woody oriental with a presence. If you can get past the astringency of that aloe/oil/grass fantasy accord in the first minute, you’re in for a walk in the park. Literally! Reminds me of my home on the outskirts of the San Francisco bay during the summer. Totally unisex. (new Black label off of Ebay, rarely used full bottle. i’ll update with the batch number later)

I cannot understand the fantastic jump to Shalimar, some reviewers are making. Grass couldn't be more different! Photorealistic grass morphs into something woodsy and floral, with a touch of playdoh, which I find enjoyable. Gets better the longer it's on. I am pretty sure I see an FB in the near future, which is a surprise! Like many Lush perfumes, they need skin to evolve them, on clothes, it doesn't have that magical change. Grass has that unmistakable Lush DNA, as most of their scents do..the smokey note is subtle enough to actually enhance the scent, which is great because I'm not a fan of smoke as a rule. If you like "The Cobra and the Canary" by Imaginary Authors, you will like this one. It's NOT the same, but shares something...it has the same ambiance, the same feeling/personality , imo. I love "Cobra.." I love this too. It's fall but it is strong enough to work with the cooler temps. Can't wait to try it in the summer. Some surprises turn out to be good ones. ✨

I have loved this fragrance since I first smelled it in the shower gel. It starts off with a burst of freshly-cut grass and even as it dries down, it retains that green herbaceous smell. The woody smoke base notes allow it to linger on the skin - it’s actually got great longevity - but they never take over. I also get a bit of the violet and neroli, but whereas I usually dislike violet in fragrances, here it just hints at something floral. For me, this scent is just deep, verdant lawn, dotted with flowers. It’s gorgeous and grassy and when I put my nose right up to my skin and inhale, I get that beautiful smoke that reminds me of a slow summer evening.

This is absolutely incredible - pure, fresh-cut grass that has dried out in the summer sun with a bit of sweetness reminiscent of wildflowers and tree sap. The longevity and projection are good, not extreme and not too intimate that only I can smell it. Even though it's called 'Grass,' I don't think it's too unconventional to wear to an office setting. I cannot wait to wear this in spring and summer, it bizarrely has quite a clean quality despite being so earthy. I love this!

I LOVE this scent. Like fresh grass in the summer, slightly sweet. The aloe and subtle florals give it a coolness and depth that separate this scent from a one-note realistic grass dupe. I'm a huge fan of the Lush fragrances, so I layer this with Rose Jam (jammy, deep, almost gourmand rose), Breath of God (serious, resin-y, church-like), or Fresh As (piney, bright, natural) to switch the vibe up. I get complimented all the time wearing this.

I love love love this perfume!!! Such a perfect green fragrance. Great staying power and sillage as well! I always get compliments when I wear this scent. Update: June 2023 - did they reformulate recently? I feel like both the longevity and sillage have tanked since my last bottle. Or did I just get a bad bottle? Anyone else have this experience recently?

had the body wash which prompted me to purchase the perfume because the violet is delicious and i just love anything with a violet note. however, something about the perfume is cloying. it's still bright, green, herbaceous, and energetic and i most certainly still get use out of it. i'll just have to continue developing my appreciation for it

Perfect grass scent, like this is probably the best, most realistic grass perfume you can buy.

Not at all what I was expecting from ‘Grass’. The green grass note of the opening lasts for a couple of minutes after which it turns into.... Shalimar. Yes, Shalimar. It was so funny I was racking my brain thinking ‘I KNOW this smell, what IS it’ until it finally dawned on me. Lush has somehow ended up making a more natural version of Shalimar, complete with the bergamot sandalwood woody smokey sweet notes. Could hardly be further away f green grass and I would have said Lush and Shalimar are polar opposites! Maybe I got a strange batch? I’m still shaking my head and smiling. Its Shalimar.

Yes it does smell like grass, but its a bit more herbal and woody than grass in the carefully manicured lawn of some middle class household. More like slightly overgrown grass with a few weeds here n there and ivy growing all over the trees. I like it a lot but was not a fan of the price point as Lush has similar fragrances for less. If its within your budget though, this is the perfect "green" warm weather fragrance

Okay I really like the opening. To me its a lot of fresh cut grass and violet. Then it turns into shaving cream. So the beginning is fresh and bright and then it becomes shaving cream scented. I think I also get some weird off-putting dirtiness that comes through which might be the smoke. Overall it is okay. Could be worn anywhere and in the warmer months.

Very different to the shower gel, which has more of the fresh cut grass scent. At the start say Bond Street 1972 smells more grassy than this. The dry down has an earthy but slightly sweet violet scent. Reminding me a little of Kerbside Violet, but sweeter. You eventually get to the cut grass at the end

Quite unique - really does smell like grass with some herbs & lemon added. Good longevity on me and projects well. Not a signature fragrance but one I like to wear every now and then in the warmer months when I’m outdoors.

like this scent, i usually prefer unisex perfumes n colognes but this to me leans more towards male perfume.if i aint single id love to smell it on my guy :3 definitely smell like expensive perfumes

The same iconic scent as Lush's Grass shower gel (released 2010) but sadly discontinued in stores years ago. I'm delighted that this is available now! It is literally cut-grass scented!

Grassy, green, bright. Imagine a child making a grass and plant soup in the yard in a bucket. Absolutely perfect, exactly what I like in a perfume.

An interesting fresh-cut grass note combined with powdery florals. Perfect for early spring and fall.

The dry down is very similar to the dry down of current Roma by Laura Biagiotti

Immediate green grass opening, but very quickly moves into woody, warm spice - almost like patchouli incense. Dries down with a long-lasting, powdery vanilla sweetness. To me those middle and end notes are the strongest, way stronger than the actual grass note. Not a traditional grass scent. It's creative, but not for me.
