Hairdresser's Husband

This would be my signature summer scent if it lasted for more than 30 minutes on my skin, but even the awful longevity can't stop me raving about this perfume. She's here for a good time, not for a long time - even layering or spraying on clothes won't make this flighty gal stick around for a full hour, meaning that with the price point she becomes a rather expensive habit if you want to smell it all day. Oh, but when she's around it's SO good, you can almost forgive her for loving and leaving you so fast. Hairdresser's Husband contains citrus so creamy it becomes sexy, sparkly and smooth all at once like a good flirt with someone really charming. I can never tell if the lemon/lime/cream effect is edible or not but it never fails to make my mouth water. It gets awed comments from others about how gorgeous it smells whenever I wear it. I acquired two bottles of this second hand (and much cheaper than RRP) so feel no guilt for the almost constant reapplication, but I wouldn't rebuy at the usual price due to the longevity issue. I used almost 1/5th of a 100ml bottle reapplying on a SINGLE DAY at a wedding last summer, working out at £25 worth of perfume at full price. Still, it gets a 'love' vote from me because I can't help but love HH's sunny outlook and uplifting qualities.

Lemon and orange with a touch of lime and enough vanilla and tonka to keep it sweet and feminine. It almost veers into gourmand but just misses the mark of full-on key lime pie. It stays refreshing and feminine throughout its wear and does not change much in the dry down. Longevity is 6 hours and projection is moderate for 2 hours. The name is quite fitting, as I could picture this being the smell of a fancy hair product but way way better. This is my new summer favourite and I can see myself going through many bottles. I fell in love with it right away when I smelled it in-store. The price tag is on par for niche but I think it is well worth it. Is it artsy and unique? No.... but it is beautiful and so well done. Very underrated! If you love citrus, you MUST try this out! Lush makes some of my favourite perfumes in my collection and I highly recommend taking a sniff for yourself. Notes according to my nose (in order of prominence): Lemon myrtle, sweet orange, vanilla, tonka

This is sooooooo good. It opens with a delicious, syrupy orange with a grapefruit twang and settles down into a more subtle but tangy orange scent. The vanilla keeps it warm and sweet but it's not so intense that it's bad for summer. I would actually consider this an excellent spring/ summer fragrance! The projection is enormous and on me it lasts literally until I wash it off - I tried it on Saturday and by the Sunday evening it was still on both the tester and the clothes I had worn. It's sweet, heady and kind of like an older, more indulgent sister to Love by Kilian. It's unique but in a positive way. This is absolutely fantastic and I would love to buy a bottle, although I'm shocked at how expensive some of Lush's fragrances are! I can't complain though, they smell so good, they last and they create a beauutiful scent bubble hahaha

This is one of my all-time favourite fragrances - my review is a couple down but I just wanted to note that I got the chance to try the 25:43 body spray in person today and it smells really similar to my nose! I think it's missing that creamy vanilla in the dry down but it definitely has the same overall vibe and is a lot less expensive than Hairdresser's Husband.

The smell of the working companion of the hairdresser, rapidly moving around the salon gathering all kinds of shampoos, conditioners, hair mists, and leave-ins, to assist his wife. The mixed aromas of all the hair products leave him smelling fresh and renewed but warm and inviting. I love lush

This is a near exact dupe for their Little Pot of Energy naked lotion, which has been discontinued 😢 It starts out with the same citrusy blend, but becomes sweeter as the base notes emerge.

I like it because I like lemons. So it opens up with freshly cut lemon. The smell is very realistic. It changes after 5 min to sugar sweet lemonade with sparkling water. It is lovely lemon with some fizz, very refreshing, reminds me of Italy hollydays.The dry down is basically the lemonade loosing it's fizziness and instead you have little drops of vanilla extract in it. On my skin lasts not more then 2-3 hours. Good for refreshing in the summer.

Fresh & zesty cologne type scent with a slight softness.

Hmm, reminds me much of Sun by Lush, same refreshing orange notes, except this has a little more depth with more notes. Unfortunately like Sun, it fades too quickly. I would expect more than a watery cologne at £125. I get the 'salon scent' in the dry down, which reminds me of the Paul Mitchell products during my salon visits in the 90s, but it is fairly faint.

-Vanilla citrus scent that's more citrus than vanilla. -Lemon is zesty and grounded sufficiently that you wouldn't associate the scent right away with dish soap. -Vanilla is very faint and stays in the background throughout. Vanilla-haters might still be able to enjoy this scent. -Overall: Smells clean, herbal, fresh. -Think: a luxurious hand cream or hair product you might find alongside the little chocolate mints nestled in a rattan basket by the washbasin at an upscale establishment. -Not quite a perfume in that sense.

This smells like sitting on the edge of your mom’s bed while she gets ready for a New Year’s party. It smells like all your sisters friends when you’re only a kid. It smells like too much hairspray at 7am, getting ready for school. It’s a beautiful, nostalgic scent.

If lemon pie was a bubble bath soap. Nice!
