Olive Branch

This is my favorite scent. Lush Olive Branch body wash (the old formula) is the first way I experienced the scent. It's like a mix of the old Jean Nate body splash (citrus-musk) and Barbasol shaving cream (both have oakmoss, I think?). Much more cirtusy-soapy-musk than sweet or flowery. I love it. Not at all synthetic-smelling--it's perfect. Cake and Barrel makes a Olive Branch dupe as a roll-on and a moisturizing body splash (with coconut oil). Both smell just like Olive Branch, but they are not long lasting and don't project. As of June 2018, Lush has a limited edition Olive Branch body spray. It mostly smells like the body wash--maybe a touch more lemony/orange blossom/floral? And the dry down is a bit like a wet-wipe--sort of pleasantly soapy. The projection isn't great and it doesn't last long on me, so for the money, I'll be repurchasing the Cake and Barrel roll-on in the future. Glad Lush made this, but hoping for a stronger perfume version.

I once smelled this when I bought a soy candle tart, and it was the dupe under a different name. I was so mesmerized by this scent, that I searched for hours and hours on the internet to track down something that could lead me to it (to me, it was that unique, and i wanted it bad), and finally i found it under a different name (its rightful name, olive branch) and bought some. to me, whenever i smell this perfume, i feel like God himself is giving me an olfactory hug, and reminding me that the little girl who had a rough childhood is made innocent again. I don't know anybody who doesn't like this perfume; it is unique to all, and really does give a sense of peace and calm. To me, it is my signature scent, and if I was asked what single fragrance I'd wear for the rest of my life out of all the different ones in my collection, I'd wear this one. there really ought to be a super love button...

If Greece and Italy had a baby, it would be this perfume. The best of the best, of these 2 countries. The soft waxiness of olive-leafs. Yes, when wearing this perfume I can almost feel it between my fingers, how the scent gets more intense when I rub a thick olive-leaf between my fingers. And yes, this scent makes me imagine life of acient Greece. And heroic Greek women wearing this during the hottest month of summer. Then comes the richness of Italy. With Italian bergamot, ultra-fresh unripen citrus-fruits dominates the begining, without harshness, or getting sour. . . But soft and comfy. And then, the best of the worlds get totally combined - after 2 hours sitting on my pulse-points. Pure bliss. I feel pure love for this fragrance. It's ideal for summer.

A hug in a perfume, recently rereleased for a short period i managed to get my hands on a bottle of the perfume. The smell of the showergel is similar to the perfume, but as with all perfume it settles on individuals skins differently. On me, personally, the Olive Branch warms down to a sweet, almost jelly bean scent with bergamot and orange radiating from the core. This scent is neither seductive nor is it fresh and bright, it is more a personal scent. A perfume you wear for yourself as a comfort and a warmth.

This is like a comforting hug when you wear it. This is the same scent as Lush's 'Olive Branch' shower gel, infact, it was a perfume way before it was launched as a shower gel - normally with Lush, it's the other way around. They'll have special perfumes, with the scent of products in the shop, sold for a very limited time and a limited number made. These fun 'Forum Specials' are not the best examples of Lush's fine perfumery.
