Pansy

(have not tried the solid version, so this is just about the edp) one of the only perfumes ive ever used the whole bottle of in one year, and as a collector that is impressive to me. im usually put off by scents that have green, citrusy, white floral notes because i find they always turn old-ladyish on my skin (and not in a cute way like lord of misrule, in like a hospital/nursing home smell way.) so i wasn't expecting to like this when i tried it in store but WOW. this is the type of floral that i really really love: herbaceous without smelling like a spice cabinet, white floral without smelling like knockoff chanel no.5, and slightly smoky without being too fall or winter leaning. i can get away with layering it with any generic vanilla to feel more nighttime, but on its own something intoxicating happens to it in the sun. i can smell it on my clothes for days, and it doesn't stain yellow like some other lush fragrances. go to spring and summer scent for me, such a winner in my book!! 10/10/10

The bright opening of bergamot, not overly sour, is paired with the sharp, slightly bitter edge of galbanum though not too green. This is followed by a soft touch of rosemary and orange flower that never feels overwhelming. The bergamot only flash by briefly I wish the opening lingered a little longer because it feels so fresh and uplifting before transitioning into a gentle floral-herbal blend, resting on a light oakmoss base that isn’t as strong as in vintage fougère or barbershop fragrances (a style I truly love). Labdanum further softens the base, giving Pansy an even smoother dry-down. The scent lasts around 4–6 hours and projects well around first 1-2 hours, It’s a soft, gentle fragrance built from floral and herbal notes—never offensive, never too forceful, and always friendly.

I’ve been wearing this for over two years now, always in spring/summer, becoming my signature scent. It reminds me of the mediterranean sea, when you‘re on the walk, you catch a hint of flowers from someone’s garden and life feels easy. It‘s fresh, calming and somehow warm too. Despite having relatively few notes, they are all clear to notice while being well blended together. The blackberry, bergamot and orange blossom provide subtle freshness, then there is herbal rosemary giving a bit of spice to almost powdery flowers and labdanum or oak moss giving it a creamier base. As some reviewers said, the dry-down is different from the initial spray, though i personally love both. The green herbal curtain and the flowers you get when it opens.

A girl friend of mine was wearing this and I felt the need to ask what fragrance it was. Then I went to purchase it thinking I could always resell it or gift it. Little did I know I was going to keep it for myself. Pansy is a bit too feminine for men to wear confidently so I use it as a pillow/stay-at-home scent. It's so smooth, warm, comforting... Also kind of unique! The blackberry note is the most noticeable to me but not the most dominant if that makes sense, it sticks out (sharp, watery quality) like a top note that doesn't budge away even an hour post spray. The rest is sweet, warm, enveloping, cozy. Definitely worth a try, Pansy has one of the best price/quality ratio among the fragrances I own.

i initially walked into lush looking for guardian of the forest body spray, as i have been longing to smell like a druid. unfortunately, they were out of stock. which led me to pansy.. love at first spray. i find that it just melts into the skin, the rosemary note is particularly pronounced on me, hints of white musk. i dislike perfumes that make me smell of..perfume. i prefer intimate, skin scents - easily found in nature. pansy ticks all my boxes. it is warm and earthy, it reminds me of the lillith fair, very 90s singer songwriter. this is my new go to perfume

At first I couldn't smell it because it was being overpowered by other scents in Lush. At second test, however, I have discovered that I really like this scent. It's very green with an almost vegetal quality, I'm assuming due to the galbanum. A perfect perfume for warm weather. edit---Now that I've bought it, I do wish that the green/herby notes lasted longer. The dry down is very different from the initial spritz, but I still love it. This is definitely the softest out of all Lush's scents, too.

LOVE this scent. I have the solid version. Herbal and creamy, white flowers but not too floral forward, very refreshing, clean, calming scent. I see how some could find it slightly soapy, but I don't find this to be too soapy on my skin (and I hate soapy). Very wearable for year-round but great for spring/summer. Smells like a very pretty girl in a white dress on vacation, at a nice hotel, reading a very sad book. Reminds me of 34 Boulevard St Germain by Diptyque.

This is perfect for rainy days. It's herbal, sweet, fresh and cosy at the same time, it does smell like being in a garden centre in a way. I love that it's a little tart from the blackberry note <3 The longevity is excellent and the projection is moderate, which is nice as I feel it could end up being a little suffocating if it were stronger. I really really like this - in the summer it's a bit much but it's perfect for wet, spring days.

I recently got a solid perfume of this and this is everything I wanted in a spring summer perfume. Aromatic yet sweet, light but grounded and maybe a bit heavy but I don’t mind. I really can’t stop smelling it, it’s also a little powdery in a clean luxurious way. Wish I got this sooner during the spring. Edit: I finally got a bottle of this and I want it to be the scent that reminds me of my trip to santa cruz with my partner.

She’s a lovely green floral, yet warm. What I think Snow White would smell like; warm berries, sweet green pine and pressed flowers. The opening is of that sharp pine mixed with the blackberry creating a sour balance for the warm sweet florals. I’m not usually a fan of Lush perfumes as I find them so screechy. But picked up Pansy in a sale and pleasantly surprised! A perfect Winter-Spring transition scent.

super wearable; a great balance between powdery and green. smells like you took bubble bath in ancient rome. very springy but could really be worn year round, as the powdery notes make themselves known within about an hour of wear. the true dry down of the musk + powder + slight floral nature is divine. another visual: imagine if someone sprinkled baby powder on a fragrant patch of moss.

90s, but not vintage smelling. Natural, herby soap vibes, but not obviously "Lush" branded. Opens up smelling like the classic brown Neutrogena Rainbath, but mellows and sweetens a bit on the drydown to smell like you're walking around with bag of the prettiest smelling handmade soaps at the farmer's market. It is subtle, though. I wear this constantly.

Rich floral with some sultry warm undertones. Easy to wear on a daily basis, smells clean. Could be worn any season but especially when plants are lush and full in spring and summer.This is my favorite reach in the spring, especially when spritzed on the hair. For a very lush green floral experience, combine with the Happy Happy Joy Joy conditioner.

I loved this in the store. Hugely green but with a dusting of beautiful florals. I bought it immediately. Unfortunately by the time I got in my car the frag had disappeared entirely. So I tried again the next day - same thing. Within 20 minutes the smell is totally, completely gone, vanished like a gentle fart in the wind. I’ll be returning it.

Such a nice and pretty floral fragrance! Quite green and fresh in the opening with the bergamot, then it settles to this sweeter (but not too sweet) orange blossom and blackberry that honestly I just love. Just perfect for spring and summer days! I have to say it doesn’t last too long on me, but for its price it’s definitely a steal.

The first fragrance I think I bought with my own grown up money, this was love at first sniff <3 The note of rosemary is just so nostalgic, like a hot summer’s day in a small Mediterranean seaside town surrounded by my dad, my yayo and cousins around some food and drinks. Obviously, big fan of the name too, duh ;)

Soft, sweet, clean, cozy, creamy, powdery white floral with the signature Lush twinge. A mild well-rounded perfume that can be worn regardless of age, season, or occasion. Probably one of their least eccentric/funky/hippie-esque fragrances. You could even do a blind buy here.

an underrated gem from lush. This is soapy, green, bitter but with a thorny blackberry, and dry herbaceousness from the galbanum. Best worn in Spring, but works as equally well for a chilled, late afternoon on a lazy day in Autumn.

very, VEEEEEERY pretty — so soft and herbal and fruity and flowery. it’s just so cute, i’m in love. and suitable for any season, but it works best in spring

The dry down of this on my hands is reminding me here and there of Cacharel's Eden, only calmer and more wearable. I really love this fragrance!
