Rose Jam Body Spray

In the opening I detect lemon, 90s fake blue raspberry, and a rose that leans green rather than sweet. The opening can be a little headachey especially in the massage bar. I find the bubbleroon and shower gel have the balance I like best, where the opening is fleeting and almost gone before you finish a quick shower. I basically never like Lush scents in perfume or body spray format, I much prefer them with water bases like in shower gel so I haven’t bothered to try an alcohol based version of this. And since the massage bar can be headache territory I am not likely to get on with a solid perfume version. I’d hate to over-expose myself to the blue raspberry and lose one of my most loved scents. The heart is a sweet rose. Not rose flower sweet, and I’ve never actually run into rose jam in reality, but I know it’s a thing and this makes sense as a rose jam. It smells the way a really nice safe for me to drink rose water tastes. The lemon sticks around keeping things from going overly gooey, and there’s a spicy aspect like clove or carnation maybe? If there’s ginger it’s fresh ginger root not ginger flower. I haven’t smelled enough scented geraniums to distinguish them from rose, and I’m definitely not smelling palmarosa (that one I can pick out). The tonka is definitely starting to come out to play and I think it’s providing most of the green at this stage. It’s possible the green is more from fig leaf tho, I find this scent layers really well with green leaning fig scents. The dry down is mostly about tonka and spices with rose as a supporting player. It’s a lot drier. There’s maybe a woody aspect to the dry down but if it’s there it’s very subtle. Cedar maybe since that’s the one that goes most spicy on me. Really the dry down is much more subtle than the heart. I’ve never smelled anything that dries down just like this. If you layer it with the lotion, you get a powdery element as well and the dry down sweetens up a bit. The powder for my taste is a goodness, as fresh roses can be quite powdery and the powder is definitely like a rose that does that. The extra sweet in the dry down I could do without. There’s also an almond/marzipan vibe to the lotion, very subtle. Most scents with that kind of vibe do not work for me and give me headaches, but this is safe. I agree with the love it or hate it reviews. While I like it a lot, there’s days where it’s not the right thing. And I don’t love a single scent where it’s not divisive as all hell. I don’t think comparing it to Angel really makes sense. It’s absolutely a gourmand but unless you’re used to a cuisine where rose is still used in favor of vanilla for desserts it’s not going to feel “foody” in the same way as a more mainstream gourmand will. Gucci Rush is a better comparison in that it’s gooey sweet but not conventionally food smelling, but they don’t smell remotely alike. They’re similarly loud tho. Spray with caution.

Rose turkish delights—exactly as it says on the bottle—is what this smells like, photorealistically so!! Rose so juicy and organic that it reminds me of rose water, but amplified by 1000%. The lemon supports the rose extremely well, the freshness and zest of the citrus eliminates that musty, grandma-esque quality many rose-dominant perfumes unfortunately tend to have. Tonka adds a twist of slight warmth, that leaves you with a velvety, cozy dry-down. A syrupy, jammy rose indeed! This is casual but playful, overall pretty, and not overly sweet. Wearable in any weather, day or night, so versatile! You can even use it as a room spray LOL The imagery this gives me: a princess that reigns over a kingdom of roses, crown of roses, roses in her hair, roses on chandeliers, roses in every palace room, rose corsages and boutonnières on every citizen, rose maypoles in the rose garden, ROSES, ROSES ROSES! Or perhaps a forest fae that landed on a large rose, got drowsy from the midday sun, settled down, and dosed off for several hours within the velvet petals. And as per usual: YES, LUSH FRAGRANCES ARE VERY POTENT, SENSITIVE NOSES BEWARE! I've said in a previous lush fragrance review that you can literally smell a lush shop before you even step foot inside, so what the heck are people expecting from a concentrated body spray or perfume from such a store?!? Nevertheless, ONE SPRAY IS ALL YOU NEED; simply spritz into the air and walk through the mist and the scent will last all day, no exaggeration. If even then this scent is still too strong but you enjoy it, Lush makes a solid of this scent as well, but I will warn that the solid does not last as long as the spray (obviously) and it leans a bit more powdery.

When I went to lush for the first time I swear to you this was magic! I know, loser over here with a billion perfume likes but hasn't even gone to lush what a loser. Yeah laugh it up I know that's ironic. But when I tell you, I went in there with hopes about medium, and left there feeling like I just walked into heaven! I won't geek out in here or my review will be twenty hundred paragraphs long and ain't nobody gonna read that! So anyways, here's my completely honest opinion as someone who LOVES rose! First impression: When I grabbed the bottle, I popped it open and took a good whiff. At first, all I smelt was rose, which oh my goodness was it such a rose! It was dewy, fresh and floral with a slight pinch of musk to it as well. It also smelt very mature for a scent you will find there! Not like all the gourmand stuff, it had no vanilla kick to it, which i liked. (no shade vanilla lovers! Just my observation!) After the wonderful rose settled in, a nice lemon came out and made the rose smell kind of jammy in a way! I didn't get any aromatic sense when it settled on my skin, so I don't understand why it's on here but maybe my nose is different. The tonka bean really wraps everything around when making it smell like jam! Goodness gracious it's such a beauty! In conclusion: If you like rose, or are wanting to get into rose, check this out! It's a great rose scent, and a wonderful buy. Sadly I suck and I'm a huge loser so I didn't buy the perfume. But I got the solid version!!

This is actually different from the Rose Jam perfume. The perfume is more fruity. This body spray is heavier on the vanilla/tonka. It has strong lemon in the beginning, but after a while it dries down to mostly vanilla, with a hint of spicy jammy rose. It's like a gingerbread cookie with rose jam on top. VERY STRONG and long-lasting, comparable in strength and projection to the Mugler perfumes. The value for your money is absolutely insane for this level of performance and the amount of product you get. It's stronger than the newest release of the Rose Jam perfume version. I don't know if it's because of the concentration of scent, or the fact that the bottle sprayer mists out SO MUCH at once. Unfortunately, sometimes this one can be cloying, and at first spray it's sickly sweet to the point of being like a rose just on the edge of decay... So, use with caution. I keep this body spray for situations where I need something strong enough to stand out in a crowd... and because it tends to gather many compliments. UPDATE 2021: I think my bottle may have gone off/turned early. The scent now has a very strange, off-putting note of sourdough bread in the drydown... if you get this, you better use up all those ounces quickly!

This is one scent that has always been on my dresser since it was released. To me it's such an uplifting, clarifying, grounding fragrance. Sillage and longevity are seriously impressive, so go lightly with the trigger! I get 10+ hours on skin but on fabric it will last forever. I like to use this or Twilight on bed linen. Sweet jammy rose with a dash of lemon and honey. The geranium and Tonka are present. It's possibly that combination that gives some the "dolls head" impression, though I don't get that. For me it doesn't evolve at all. It reminds me of Turkish Delight! Try layering with Choco Musk ❤️ This actually projects better and outlasts the perfume version. The solid perfume is not a good option as it stains EVERYTHING it touches. Both the 30ml EDP and the superior performing Body spray 200ml cost £25, so I would absolutely recommend the BS over the EDP. I love that there are so many products available with the same scent too. Shower gel, soap, Bubble bar, body conditioner, shampoo bar, hair conditioner, even a facemask and lip balm. If you're a rose lover and happen to come across a Lush store, I highly recommend stepping in and giving it a try :D
