More stuff from the Lush Kitchen that I want — Lush, open a US Kitchen already! At left, Calacas Shower Gel ("A hallowed shower with reviving lime and uplifting neroli lathers will rouse your senses back into the mortal realm. Just one encounter will leave your spine tingling...and skin smelling like sweet jelly beans"). Top right, Brightside Solid Perfume ("A little bit of sunshine arrives on the breeze, in the form of bergamot, tangerine and mandarin. All you need is a little dab on wrists, behind ears and knees and you’re set to make the world smile with you"), plus, you can have Brightside in a Body Lotion, double plus, they have Flying Fox Solid Perfume at the moment, along with Grass and Sex Bomb. Bottom right, Uluru Shower Gel ("Take time to escape into the embrace of these Aussie sunset-painted, lemon lathers. Warming sandalwood blends with zesty Brazilian orange and lemon myrtle oils...Smother yourself in sunshine and let it transport you to Uluru at dusk.") Argh.

We are not condemned to fruits and vanilla forever

Posted by Robin on 31 May 2017 11 Comments

In Europe, we have lost the idea of such notes in perfumery, and it is so sad because it is ­something so precious and ­delicate and sensual. I was very surprised and happy that there is still a ­region of the world where ­people like such notes. For me, it was ­something that gave me a lot of hope and optimism. It is a sign that maybe we will not all smell of sweets and fruits for the rest of our lives. That we are not condemned to fruits and vanilla forever.
