We Believe in Glinda

Gorgeous scent, sadly the longevity isn't great on me, only about 3-4 hours at most (so not awful, but I'm used to Lush's so-called "body sprays" having insane performance usually!). I'm mostly dropping a review to confirm that it is indeed reminiscent of LVEB L'Elixir - both violet-forward yet sweet and fruity. They're definitely not dupes of one another though. L'Elixir's fruity note is front and centre with a distinct raspberry note; by comparison Glinda just has a "fruity feeling" to it that plays a secondary role. L'Elixir's violet leaf note also gives it a very strong clean/fresh/aquatic edge, whereas here it reads much more like violet flower itself (probably due to the addition of iris). Glinda leans more into the purple floral, powdery, almond/very very slight gourmand direction with a veil of sugary sweetness and fruitiness dancing across it, whereas (to me) L'Elixir has that sugared-violet element too but paired with distinct aquatic + raspberry notes. In summation it's more of a "if you like one, you'll like the other" situation as opposed to "if you have one you don't need the other". I own both and while I actually like L'Elixir more, Glinda wins in terms of wearability (ironic given Lush's reputation with perfumes)! It just feels so much more approachable/casual to me; L'Elixir has quite an intense scent trail so I feel a little out of place wearing it unless I'm all dressed up... I've had Glinda for a fraction of the time I've owned L'Elixir and have already used it just as much!

This is the first time a Lush body spray has been an absolute love. Skinscents4Fusspots (hey diva, I love your work) is right that this smells like Swizzles brand powdery candy (think rockets/American smarties given they're based on Fizzers from Swizzles) with a little bit of a Rosey undertone. It does have a slight blackcurrant/grape smell from the almonds. I see the Comforter comparison, but I feel WBIG is more sweet, perfumery and a tiny bit soapy where as Comforter smells more like a berry detergent or laundry spray. It reminds me a tiny bit of YSL Paris (the original) without the mimosa I don't like, and sweeter. Distinct enough to own both, but you can see it if you put them side by side. I've found it smells the best sprayed above me, and left to fall into my hair rather than on my wrists.

surprised to see people rating it as mostly a winter/fall fragrance; but i guess it's because it was released during Northern hemisphere winter and that's where mostly everyone is trying it! I am happy to report though that my mom brought me We Believe in Glinda as a gift all the way to Brazil, from Canada, and it's a wildly hot summer in Brazil and I love it! Upon first sprays I felt a very spritzy, sparkly and sweet raspberry, which is not even listed as a note but maybe a phantom note? Then it settles down to a powdery rose vanilla but at the same time it has a juicy, mouth watering quality to it. I appreciate how the powdery notes give me a dry feeling which is a nice feeling when you are in a humid and hot climate. Curious to test it during winter!

Kpop_stan is spot on. Glinda is similar to LVEB L'Elixir which happens to be one of my favorites - so of course I'm going to love it. It's a powdery, fruity candy smell - like parma violets and jellybeans. It becomes more powdery and soft during the dry down. Very pretty. I love it, I think I prefer Glinda over L'Elixir - they're both beautiful but Glinda is less overpowering, smells less synthetic. And yeah, Glinda is far better for casual use. Unfortunately it's weak and doesn't last long compared to the other Lush body sprays However people have complimented this one. I didn't think they would be able to smell it haha

I need to snag all the similar fragrances people are naming in the reviews because this scent has changed me as a person and when I run out, everyone will have to go on sewer side watch. Lasts roughly 7926 hrs on clothes, decent on skin, 5+ hrs on my current wear and still smelling great. If you're like me and love being on a sugar high, try layering this over V&R Bonbon. Dizzying. Like I'm 90% candied flower, 10% girl.
