What Would Love Do

I've given it some time and WWLD has become something I do get a craving for every now and then, especially before bedtime. It has these odd contradictions, it seems sticky, earthy, dry and sour at the same time. When given some time to rest, I catch something almost like rye bread. The smell of something fermented? Is it yeast???? I don't bake enough to be able to connect the dots. Still a little too much candy for me to wear regularly, but I can appreciate the character. I don't think I'll ever grow to love it as much as Sikkim Girls, but then again, that one also took its time to grow on me. WWLD is very simple and something that perhaps even takes you aback with it's simplicity. Edit: I'm wearing this pretty regularly now, out and about especially when we have stormy weather and I need something energizing. Cool, rainy days really do bring out more depth and a more nuanced (less sticky) sweetness from it. It's now one of my favourites for bedtime, I originally found myself liking it when I was going for a nap and the smell that used to nearly nausiate me had stuck on my bedsheets and transformed. I often wear things that are difficult for me to bed, to familiarize them to me. Maybe there's something about the workings of the sleeping mind, but I do it just because I fall asleep quickly enough to avoid getting annoyed with a fragrance and it allows me to see the lasting power as well. Edit: GINGERBREAD! Love... using this today as a companion scent to help me ease into Cabochard.

I am a huge fan of Lush & have been for the past 15 years. I can never just walk past, without being lured in by the aroma wafting from the store! It's all too common for their fragnces to not stay around for too long, as I've learned from bitter experience. RIP Tuca Tuca 💔 This understated little bottle, holds a scent that is simply gorgeous. An aptly named little gem ♥️ "Love would lift you up with elevating tangerine oil when you need a boost. Love would calm you down with grounding lavender when worry weighs heavy on your mind. And love would wrap you up in a vanillary benzoin resinoid cuddle at the end of a long day" I get a short blast of fresh, authentic Tangerine and sweet Lavender. As it settles, the Benzoin comes through, switching places with the Tangerine. The citrus keeps it a little fresh but hovers I the background, preventing it from becoming too sweet, while the Benzoin gives the Lavender a sugared flower feel. Longevity and silage are moderate. It stays on clothing for over 24 hours though. It's definitely one of the brand's more subtle offerings, so don't expect the strength of Lust, Rose Jam, Twilight or Karma - all of which I also adore! This is a great daytime scent, especially for those dreaded Monday mornings! I love to use this at bedtime though, layered with their Dream Cream or Sleepy body lotion zZzZz... I must buy a backup before it disappears!

This has been my signature scent for work and various events for years, so I am obviously biased. Its most powerful note is definitely warm and sweet benzoin, but the addition of zesty citrus keeps it from being too heavy and cloying. The lavender is more subtle and in the background (I honestly wouldn’t be able to recognise the note if it had not been listed), but it also adds to the complex balance. ♡ Unfortunately, I can spray it only on clothes as I am allergic to some of its ingredients. On the other hand, from my experience, this is clear proof it consists mostly of natural essential oils instead of synthetics, which can be a plus for some. It also develops more linearly there, whereas on my skin it goes quickly from a little bitter soapy tangerine to honeyed resin. The projection is excellent, and (at least on clothes) it can last up to days.

Just got this today, even pulled a blind buy based off the reviews. So Lush has been making changes to the fragrance lines, and the bottle sizes are now leaning towards 100ml, making these fun experiments in fragrance a bit pricey vs. The old 30ml versions, that for Lush was just right. This one is really nice, and does not pull the usual Lush assault on the senses. It is sweet, but not in a manor that goes overboard. Reviewer Teddyboy nailed the Lemongrass note,I have to agree with that take on the citrus here. Such a nice calming scent, simple but it really works. This can be bought online fairly cheap, check it out, and while there see what has been happening with the fragrance line. Younger scent, but I will pretend I can pull it off. I think this fits the unisex category OK, best for spring and summer evenings. Stay safe, and smell good!

I got this as a gift from my friend on my birthday and I'm almost through my 30 ml bottle though it hasn't been an year yet. I also have this in a solid format but that doesn't have the sillage I want and the glass pot is hard to get any use out of. I have never tried 29th high street by lush but this also smells quite similar to a lush store. I smell lime every time I put it on so I'm surprised this one doesn't have lime in it's notes. The lavender comes out gradually together with the lime. The lime (even though it's not really lime) does have a bit of bitterness but it's also sweet. The overall scent is very well balanced and isn't strong but gives a pleasant, clean, comforting vibe. I'm planning to buy the big bottle after I go through my 30 ml bottle. 9/10
