Twilight Body Spray

I first discovered this scent when my friend got me LUSH's Sleepy body lotion, and I was in love with the scent. I never wear body lotion since I live in a humid climate but I would use it as a hand lotion just to smell it. I didn't know Twilight is basically the body spray/perfume version of the scent (why wouldn't they name it the same thing??) until I tried my luck and went to the LUSH store to ask. It was everything I dreamed of, smells exactly like the body lotion, and came in a huge 200ml bottle. I sprayed it everywhere -- on my bedsheets, my pillows, my curtains, myself. I was never a lavender person, but there is a sweetness to this that just smells heavenly. Doesn't smell like toilet-air-freshener-lavender at all, or any kind of cheap lavender. It smells delicious but not in an edible gourmand way, sweet but not in a cloying way. It's a perfect bedtime scent. I sprayed it on a letter that I mailed to my friend, and she could still smell it on the paper when she received it. I personally think it's a safe blind buy and an inoffensive crowd-pleaser (even if you dislike lavender). But test it in store anyway just to be sure. I find that the scent doesn't change or develop over time, so what you smell within the first 10 minutes is what it will smell like at the end of the day. I loved it for months after I got it. Unfortunately, I think it started to go bad, because there was a sour smell that I detected every time I sprayed this on my fabrics. (I hardly sprayed it on my skin, something about the scent made me want to spray it more on fabrics and clothes instead. I think it lasts pretty long on fabrics too.) I thought it was something else, and I tried not spraying it, thinking that maybe my curtains needed washing or there was something else that smelt off. But no, I only smelt it when I sprayed this body spray!! I really wish this came in a smaller size, maybe 100ml, or even a 30ml EDT/EDP! 200ml seems overkill if it's going to go bad so quickly. I'm not sure what went wrong -- maybe I had an old batch, or it reacted weirdly with my fabrics, but I had to give it away after less than 10 months. I went back to the LUSH store recently and sprayed it on a tester, and I still love the scent with all my heart. I would repurchase it again if it came in a smaller size, or maybe in a couple years when my yearning for it becomes stronger and the feeling of betrayal from it turning sour eases. I know the packaging of LUSH body sprays is quite iconic, but it's a bit hard to spray oneself with this kind of shape. The mist is not very fine, and some droplets are so big that it always leaves a bit of a water mark (which eventually evaporates, but still). Being slightly nitpicky here, but just some considerations for LUSH!!

I friggin love this! I bought this a couple months ago for a bedtime spray, but it's so good, I've started using it as an all day / every day spray. I'm now obsessed. I stan this. If it put out a merch line, I'd buy it. Twilight is a Lavender-forward scent with notes of Tonka and Benzoin to round it out. This scent smells different depending on where I spray it, and I believe temperature greatly effects this scent. On skin (warm), the Lavender quickly settles down (until almost gone) and it becomes more of a warm, cinnamon-y scent, like a warm Lavender Snickerdoodle. On sheets (cool), the scent stays very similar to what you smell from the bottle, where the Lavender stays in focus and the scent is overall more bright and fresh. On clothes (med), the scent stays somewhere in the middle, with the Lavender, Tonka, and Benzoin being equally present. I personally love all versions, and at night, I spray this on myself and my sheets/pillows for a dual effect. The warm lavender+vanilla+cinnamon on my skin is so cozy, and the random wafts of the bright, fresh Lavender from my sheets is divine. Longevity and sillage are great, considering it's a body spray. Of course I'd want it to be more bc I love it, but this outperforms some of my expensive "real" perfumes (new Chanel, Hermès.. I'm looking at you). If this were an EDP/EDT, it'd have mod sillage and mod to long-lasting longevity. Overall, I love this little chameleon. It's simple, yet delicious, and it works in any climate. The bottle is cute, the scent performs well, and it's a great deal (200ml for under $40!). The only thing I'll say is that LUSH products are prone to inconsistencies bc everything is made by hand / in small batches. Normally, this isn't a problem, but with perfume ppl, we KNOW when our faves are different. With LUSH fragrances, your bottle might smell different than one from another store, city, state, etc. It might even be different from one at the same store, but made at a different date and/or by a different person. So take our reviews with an extra grain of salt (aside from the normal ones of personal pref and skin chemistry). If you really like something, keep in mind the maker and the date made. And always try to test things out beforehand.

Wow... just wow! I LOVE... ADORE this! This is a veryy ambery (almost creamy) and sweet lavender scent, but the lavender is definitely there and is strong. As with most Lush body sprays, this lasts forever. I spray this every night before sleep and I wake up to an almost dusty/lighter version of it, lingering in my sheets and my entire room. Very powerful but not headache inducing. Only weird thing I noticed was when I took this with me on a 16 hour flight, the composition and smell changed, and when I sprayed it on me the night after my flight I noticed it’s smell had changed, to an almost fecal-lavender (maybe fermented? Idk...) smell... I was very disgusted and was so curious and sad why it had turned this way :( but I later got kinda numb to the smell (lol) but it still doesn’t smell the way it did before my flight. So I guess be careful taking this to a higher altitude? But over all 10s across the boards! Longevity 10/10 Sillage 8/10 (only reason I haven’t given it a 10 on sillage is because no one has given me a compliment on it lol) Price 10/10 (~$40, the price is amazing for something that smells kinda luxurious)

I am in love. What can I say? I vividly remember going to a Lush store 4 years back and going thru every single bodymist, and making a disgusted face with every one of them except when I smelled Let The Good Times Roll. I remember everything smelling herbal and incense-y. Now, a good while back I bought the smaller tub of Sleepy body lotion and oh god I wanted to eat it. Drink it. Bathe in it. When I read reviews that Twilight would be the closest scent to it, I blind bought it immediately. And it is close to it, but the soapy lavender is amped up 100% and bit less of an edible gourmand. The ylang ylang makes it sweet and lactonic, but it can also be a note that turns sour or spoiled on other peoples body chemistry. Then the tonka bean comes thru, like a warm vanilla base, and its just like.. its a warm, sweet lavender vanilla hug that wraps around you. I like to layer this with Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male edt because both are lavender & vanilla & tonka bean perfumes and they just compliment eachother sooooo well. My clothes smell incredible the next morning. Good bye other perfumes, see you never <3

wow, i’m in love. i was a little worried about this purchase—lavender isn’t a favorite, but i wanted something soothing to spray myself and my pillows with at bedtime—but it’s swiftly turned into an everyday staple. a couple weeks ago i added some powdered lavender to a vanilla buttercream frosting, and this is exactly what it was like. lavender marshmallow, edible lavender. absolutely scrumptious, and not what i was expecting. i dab a little bit of tonka bean absolute on top to really bring out the creamy candy aspect of the aroma. when used with a little bit of the lotion, the smell lasts all night and i wake up still smelling fresh and delicious. i was also surprised to find that my family could smell me whenever i was 6-10ft away, so the sillage is impressive for a body spray. i’ve worn many perfumes around—both high end and cheapies of generally high regard—but this is the only one i’ve received comments on from strangers. i was asked if this was Pink Sugar, and although it’s a far cry from Aquolina’s fruity licorice accords, i can see the similarity in sweetness.
