The Dew On Their Hems

My new go-to green hippie scent. Romantic in name, a little savage, if ultimately lovely, by nature. Don't be expecting wispy florals or anything too airy fairy. It's an unapologetic room-filler you'll need the confidence to carry off. Glorious, if occasionally divisive! The dry down is ultimately palatable for all. A dominant juicy cucumber note with a touch of petrichor and a little added sweetness. Nothing too candied or heady. Uplifting, enveloping but not cloying if applied in sensible moderation. The initial impression is harsh however, sure to put casual browsers off. An absolute aldehydic blast. Mean, green and spikey. My mother decided to have a quick spritz instore after being drawn in by the steep price tag and immediately regretted it! Despite my insistence on how lovely she smelt the rest of the day. Refreshing in warmer weather. Fantastic longevity and sillage as to be expected from Lush. At the higher end of their price range as it's only currently available at £100 for 100ml, but worth the investment if you're a lover of bold, green, attention-grabbing scents.

the bruised grey-green sky hushes after a night of rainstorms. in the garden, forgotten slices of cucumber, pale green against the muddy water, bob in a serene puddle. a lone drop slides down the abandoned clothesline, surrendering to gravity and splashing onto the soaked grass below. it opens with a spray of rainwater, which doesn't feel like petrichor to my nose, but still retains the freshness and dewiness of the morning after a rainy night. it quickly settles into a slightly artificial cucumber scent, which is quite pleasant to my nose. this is a scent that lingers: i get about 8-10 hours on skin with decent projection, though it gets closer to a skin scent throughout the day, and I can still smell it on my clothes the day after. the dew on their hems is not for everyone, and judging from the votes on this website, it doesn't seem to have found its crowd yet. but this is a very interesting and unique release that distances itself from Lush's 2024 gourmand craze. another one for my to-buy list.

As someone's who's body chemistry does not hold 'light' or 'aquatic' notes longer than a 5 second splash.. i was impressed that this one lasted all day on me. There is substantial sillage - people in the market noticed the waft of light cucumber and commented on how refreshing it was despite the hot day without a breeze. You will stand out for the watery freshness. It is distinctly cucumber. On me, i don't get any of the funk, just pure rain.. and after 10 mins subsides to a fresh, cucumber, watery, calming, wearable day time scent. I dont get much of the cedar notes that are listed above. On me, this is a single note done very well to stand out alone.

This was terrible on my skin, all I got was just pure cucumber, yuck. Edit: I must admit I was impatient with the top note and sprayed over it with something else. As much as I still hate the first hit of cucumber, after leaving it to settle I'm pleasantly surprised as it turns into a delicate green woody scent with a hint of sugary sweetness. Glad I gave this a chance.

pending a more thorough trial i'd say i liked this a lot. the cucumber is quite strong, but it is fresh and sweet. i tried it first on a cloudy, humid day and it really cut through the thick air in a way i found refreshing. the petrichor is subtler, more apparent close to the skin. like coming inside on a rainy day to someone making cucumber salad
