Princess Cottongrass

My top three favourite perfumes from Lush are this one, Princess Cottongrass, Lust and Orange Blossom. I can’t rank them however because the number one spot changes depending on my mood and what the day holds for me, Like a reviewer said below, Princess Cottongrass smells very green and pine-y, I would also add sweet, a sugary sweet. You are walking in a dense pine forest, perhaps the day after a rain, with rays of sunlight piercing through the treetops occasionally and the ground is made of white sugar. It sounds strange, but I love it!

Smells like a meadow in summer. Pine, neroli and violet leaf create a divine natural smelling fragrance. I am so sad this has been discontinued but luckily I still have a big bottle. The violet is very subtle with pine and neroli coming through more to my nose. If anyone has tried the scent grass by lush, it goes very well after a shower involving grass shower gel and/or lotion.

If you were able to create scents, anything from memory... No-one in the world in a million years would come up with something like this but they somehow have. Outstanding but not in a great way. Perhaps a good way though. If you like light florals with a green tint this is for you. It really does smell of nettles and matches the fairytale inspiration. If you liked Squeaky green shampoo bar from lush or enjoy the scent of handy gurugu hand cream then this is your lucky day. Everyone else I imagine would be mildly amused but not wowed by it. There is a powder version called princess which is nice. For me this is a 10ml buy. I wouldn't use anything larger in time but would probably always want a bottle around.

This is suchhh a pine-forward green scent. A hint of violet that peaks through, then explodes as it leads through this scent. I was gifted this scent by an employee with the knowledge that this was being discontinued. I tried it in store and loved it, and further loved it when i got home. It's a very intimate scent that fits perfectly for a soft daytime setting. Imagine using this for a trip to the farmers' market and buying a big bouquet. so so pretty and looking forward to using it more in warmer months!

I HATE the top notes. Absolutely hate them. But then, after a few minutes, this lovely green floral scent comes through and I cannot get enough of that. So I guess it's worth the initial suffering for me. Definitely a spring fragrance, maybe for a very early summer morning when the air is still kind of crisp.
