Salarium

I had never thought that I would have found my dream fragrance at Lush store. Then, I stumbled upon this powerful citrusy oudy perfume that I have been looking for. It opens with more than just rose, IMO, and Ben though the do not necessarily reveal more than that. There a kick of greenery that accompany you the rose note. It stays there for a while for around 20 minutes. Then the citrusy notes starts to kick in. It is fresh, it is clean, it is charming, but it does not smell like a cheapie citrus scent. It’s soothing yet bold because of the oud smell. I am normally on the fence with oud especially if it’s being used in Arabian inspired perfume. I just cannot stomach it. But this one is not gourmand sweet. The citrusy middle note lends its sweetness to oud, which creates a magical combo. It stays in middle note for a long time, I kid you not. On me, it lasted for 5-6 hours. The dry down is very similar to the note with the addition of sandalwood in there. This is a very tenacious scent. It performs and stays on my skin like no other. To my nose, this is somewhat linear. But it doesn’t disappoint me at all, because I love the scent from start to finish. This is a very strong one. So I am very mindful about pulling the trigger. Otherwise I will choke myself and other people around me. I heard that this one is going to be discontinued soon. But I hope they will bring it back in the future. For now, I will enjoy this one and I will take a while for me to use up a 100 ml bottle because is its performance.

I got this as a Birthday gift. A very nice, long-lasting and old-school scent...BUT, it's WAAAY over priced! $200 for a 100ml is absolutely ridiculous...Lush need a reality check when it comes to pricing their products I think.

Woody oud with hint of dried powdery roses. Unique that it somehow has a light whiff mineraly-salty note. Not sophisticated or evolving much but pleasant to wear. I do like the powdery rose touch.

Lush uses high quality and natural ingredients, that's why any of their oud fragrances are way more expensive than the other ones, real oud is VERY expensive.
