Lush has launched The Florence Collection, with five new* fragrances: Confetti, Frangipani, Fresh As, Nero and Sappho.
Confetti ~ Rose. "An infatuating floral perfume. Delicate violet leaf absolute blossoms with sensual rose, while smoky sandalwood oil marks the final chapter - ever-lasting love and comfort".
Frangipani ~ Floral. "A noble blend of sweet frangipani to revive and fuel creative tendencies. Inspired by a wildly sweet and spicy fragrance for perfuming gloves, originally created by the mythical Roman noble, Marquis of Frangipani. Lavish sandalwood and scrumptiously nutty almond oils lean intoxicatingly into frangipani florals before a moreish and smoky guaiacwood finish." Additional notes include tuberose.
Fresh As ~ Herbaceous fir. "Welcome to the wilderness. With bracing fir needle absolute and hints of balsamic benzoin resinoid you’ll soon be feeling fresh as… Revitalising fir and tagetes oils mingle in each vivid spritz to surround you with the bracing draw of nature. If any scent can embody the freshest of forests, snapping sticks underfoot and the warmth of a snugly scarf, then this is it."
Nero ~ Fresh green. "Bursts of floral neroli meet smouldering petitgrain oil, creating a fresh and woody fragrance. This perfume was inspired by the origins of the name Neroli. One theory suggests it arose from Emperor Nero, an avid perfume and fragrant flower enthusiast. Another surmises it stemmed from a much-loved French noblewoman named Anne Marie, Princess of Nerola, renowned for adorning her signature gloves and bath water with uplifting neroli oil." Additional notes include bergamot.
Sappho ~ Powdery with vanilla, orris and tobacco. "Bittersweet and inescapable, this ode to a striking poetess, the Tenth Muse, will shake your senses. Classical orris entwines with carnal jasmine to enchant deep desires."
Lush Confetti, Frangipani, Fresh As, Nero and Sappho are available now at Lush in the UK, in 30 ml (limited edition) and 100 ml. They will be available at Lush stores with Perfume Libraries (these are "anchor stores"; I am not sure if they will be sold in the US or not).

Ooh, something else to look our for (as well as my long beloved Ginger) when I visit their flagship store in Liverpool later in the year!
Lucky you!
Seconding Carolyn’s “ooh.” I want to try Confetti, of course.
Confetti does sound lovely 🙂
Yes, they mention Ro’s Argan, so wondering if it might be a more sophisticated version of Rose Jam.
Sappho is calling my name!
£70 for 30ml of Sappho is getting pricey ! Imagine they’ll be charging well over £150 for the 100ml size
It is spendy! But the prices vary by perfume, which always makes me feel like I’m paying for something other than packaging and advertising.
Yeah absolutely , even in this Florence collection they range between £75 & £25 for 30ml so you feel like you’re paying for the actual ingredients used not the marketing.
Fresh as and Nero look great. Too bad they are not available in the US.
Dear Lush USA,
Please keep up with Lush UK. If they stock it, you should too.
Thanks!
Jada
Lol +1
Such a wide price difference on the 30ml sizes between Sappho (£75) / Nero (£60) and the Fresh as (£25) & the others at £35 !
Would they maybe be using real orris given the higher price point on the Sappho especially ?
The body sprays vary in pricing too. Turmeric Latte was $50 whereas Twilight was $30!
Tried these today & fortunately none of them got me to open my wallet. They seemed nice but none grabbed me immediately , I need to try them some more & see if they grow on me more
