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

Delicious stuff. The lavender is a supporting player to a minimalist yet powerful oriental, clearly Guerlain-inspired fragrance. The intense citrus and overdose of benzoin make this so tasty. Somehow the ingredients combine to produce a cinnamon-lemon effect, somewhere between spicy powder and tangy curd. Furthermore, the huge load of benzoin blends with the citrus and lavender to smell like a non-bready, fresh, rich, warm panettone, dusted with cinnamon-lemon-vanilla sugar. It’s not a monster, but it lasts forever in a cozy bubble. People in the room with you will smell it and it will whet their whistles. The person you go to bed with will want to eat you up.

I wish I bought a bottle before this was discontinued! I have the solid perfume version and am nearly out of it. I have been complemented on it several times- I work in a career where I am often very close to people so I like to choose perfumes that are not overpowering but are still noticeable. This fully fits the bill for a perfume I can wear at work. The smell of tangerines and lavender are extremely nostalgic for me (my grandma has a tangerine tree and my mom has lavender) so for me this smells like a spring/summer day. It's warm, welcoming, soft, kind? I like it a lot and I'm gonna be sad when I run out.

Weirdly enough most of the reviews below have pretty discording opinions. Personally speaking I love this scent and it's by far my fav Gorilla perfume. The notes here seems quite a bit off. I detect very little lavender and notes of orange/citrus on a very strong and sweet spicy base which to me smells a lot like cinnamon and vanilla-caramel with perhaps some patchouli. Yes it reminds of Shalimar, more than a bit but it's just a faint memory. An excellent scent and while sillage and longevity aren't huge they are so much better than most Lush perfumes.

This is one of my signature perfume. I love perfums with few notes. Not overdone and which has great longevity. On top of it, its vegan!!! So, the the opening start with lavander but not sweet lavender like Sleepy spray but mixed with benzoin, i would say a little bitter. I dpnt want to say its citrusy but it has sthg that reminds me bitter orange. I would not say its safe buy as it projects differently on each skin. The perfume is overall sweet but not candy, sickly sweet. Its sweet because of benzoin with calming lavender and a bit of bitterness

Peculiar and truly therapic, very comforting. I didn't know that the lavender is here, but have purchased this fragrance imtuitively during quite stressful period - and it works so well:) You can not distinct separate notes here - all come in accords. This perfume developes on skin amazingly: from warm citrus to a very calming almost woodsy accord. Just give it 20 minutes and you may be amazed how it is different from the opening. It becomes inseparable from the skin. It is far more rich and round than you can imagine just from the listed note.

This opens with a sweet, fruity citrus opening, reminiscent of Froot Loops cereal or a sweet and sour candy. Then mellows down into resinous benzoin maintaining some sweetness. Lavender isn’t that prominent to me, but what’s left in the air is a beautiful incense, comforting, mildly sweet and just enveloping me with what love does. Swoon! Reapplication is necessary on skin every 5-6 hours, but it’s worth every spray. Pairs exceptionally well with 'Sleepy' Body Lotion. My favorite Lush Perfume along with Karma, Rentless, and Lord of Misrule.

Okay, this is such an intoxicating scent. It’s sweet but not obnoxious. It smells like an expensive elixir - it has a syrup-y vibe. Very much niche smelling. It has only three notes but they’re not really detectable, they just blend so well together and create this edible, mesmerising concoction of sexiness. Sadly it’s getting discontinued where I am, so I bought the three bottles that were left. You can’t overspray this. It is linear, but people around will definitely notice your scent. Scent 8/10 Longevity 6.5/10 Sillage 5.5/10

This is citrus all the way, citrus marengue pie in fact. Sweet and sour. The lavender is Not as dominant as the picture above shows, the citruses and the sweetness from the benzoin is 80% of this fragrance, the lavender is quite soft and creamy actually. I can also detect a slice of ginger. Love this juice, Will buy the big bottle when my 30ml is empty. Love, love, love

My first association with it is being forced to drink a very sugary, syrupy orange soda anytime I was sick and nauseous as a child. It's my Munchausen's in a bottle. But it also makes me think of like, gingerbread spiced with orange. The drydown is lovely but the bittersweet orange dominates throughout the life of the scent.

Sadly, this gem that can vary from tart pastry to spiced cake to stimulating-yet-soothing confection, has been discontinued (in the USA at least). I knew a month ago, and drove 2 hours to get a LUSH store’s last 3 bottles, but that’s that... meantime I’ll enjoy their diametrically different yet equally strange Tank Battle!

I only have this in the GLORY hair conditioner, so my interpretation could be different. ...Smells like herbal sweet cereal! Almost fruitloop adjacent, very much green biscuits. Gorgeous scent, and I don't get much citric outside the tanginess that accents all the scent; it smells pulpy, somehow!

I actually love this very much!!<3 it's so beautiful, starts with citrus and develops to a calming lavender, insensy and vanilla smell. The projection it alright and long lasting too. I recommend testing it before purchase it anyways (give it a try!!!!!!!)

I couldn't count the times I've been told by different people that i smell like gingerbread when wearing this. Wonderful scent, i have no words. I've never had or tried anything as perfect as this one, the day my bottle runs out will be a sad, sad one.

Sweetly comforting, but boldly tenacious. Opens with caramelised tangerines and vanilla, followed by recognisably Lush style resin/incense underneath. It can both soothe and empower, which is perhaps what love should do.

I bought up every bottle within a 75 mile radius before they discontinued it. It smells like the most tangy edible vanilla tangerine confection of all time! Does anybody know if it’s available outside the USA?
