Much of the messaging in the perfume landscape has been aspirational, [Na-Moya] Lawrence explains. “‘I’m in Paris and I’m a sexy lady,’” she says, mimicking the traditional advertising. “That’s all great, but now you can smell like a dirty pond goblin if you want. And that’s cool.”

Wow, what a fun company! To be honest, some of those scents sound awful, but there are others I’d love to try!
Agree on all counts.
I had the same thought, but I guess they must be doing something right if they won an Art & Olfaction award.
The dirty pond goblin made me laugh though. I used Lush’s Shrek bath bomb the other night, not realizing that it had pieces of twig, oakmoss, and charcoal “dirt” mixed in to make the bath swampy. That, along with the Shrek-green water, made me feel very much like a pond goblin.
I love a lot of Lush’s products but this type of thing is my top annoyance with them…why do they add “decorative “ material that doesn’t go down the drain? Twigs and oak moss? I had a cranberry soap a few years ago that had dried whole cranberries on top. Those things don’t go down a shower drain, or in your case the tub drain. Lush expects me to skim their crap out of the water when I’m done? No thank you. Sometimes I think they have no practical mind set at all, just a bunch of people who’ve obviously never had to pay a plumber 😜
LOL…actual twigs! That’s pretty funny.
