Time of the Season

I actually own this one, so I've taken the time to really get to know it. In the best way possible, it's got an almost basement-like musty quality. Unfortunately, I've not gotten to smell Tank Battle yet, but according to the 'moldy' descriptions of that one I can imagine Time of the Season has a patchouli of similar quality. This patchouli is not camphorous, medicinal, powdery, or chocolaty. It really is just strait dirty. When I bought this in store, I had to laugh at the Lush Employee who told me she thought it smelled like rotting vegetables. I was not scared off by this, as I came in already knowing I wanted Time of the Season after having tested it multiple times before. The mustiness is most apparent right in the beginning, but after this more challenging phase, it settles into a more 'normal' scent with some more prominent citrus/neroli. Sometimes I think the opening is a bit vegetal and redolent of dry grass, other times I don't. I sense similarities in Karma in the dry down, but don't assume you'll like this one if you like Karma. That being said, I don't think it's redundant to own both. It really does feel 'hedonistic' as the bottle describes it. There's nothing animalic in it, yet it feels very musky and human which I love. I also feel like it works for all seasons. It's whatever you want it to be and more. I absolutely adore this scent. I probably will never get through the bottle (curse you Lush for not offering smaller sizes) but at least I know I'll never run out. ..

I really do love this perfume but I still haven‘t bought it because a) I feel like the price could be a bit lower and b) It is not that different than Karma or Tank Battle. It is on my wishlist and I‘m planning to buy this soon but I just decided to get the other new Lush perfume over this. It is a spin on Karma for sure. A classic Lush patchouli and citrus cross that is to die for. I haven‘t used up my Karma and Tank Battle perfumes from years ago but it‘s still different enough for me to wanna buy it. If you‘re not a perfume freak like me it wouldn‘t make sense to get all three because the drydowns are REALLY REALLY SIMILAR. I must say tho that this performs way better than Karma. I would definitely get Time Of The Season over Karma if I was deciding between these two. The top notes are kinda different tho.

This is a really gorgeous earthy, dry, dusty & dark patchouli. It's like Karma's older witchy vibe sister. Probably a safe blind buy if you're a patch lover. Enjoying this one a lot. Good job Lush.

beautiful, earthy, spooky. opens and dries down spicy patchouli. if this perfume was an album it'd be music from patch cord productions by mort garson.

Literally love at first sniff for me. Immediately transports me to a grassy field I’m sprawled out on. Cannot wait to buy this!!!!
