Bring Back My Perfumes! | Seven Fragrances I Would Like To See To Return At Lush

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Lush recently released a form for the Lush Community to fill out which is focused around what seven fragrances they would like to see return at Lush so I thought that I'd talk to you all today my seven that I'd like to return. 

All Good Things Perfume 

All Good Things contains Cedarwood Oil, Rose Oil, Tonka Absolute and Cade Oil. 

I adored All Good Things when it was available at Lush stores. When it was available, I was told that it was inspired by all things smoky and sweet. A true fragrance dichotomy. 

All Good Things was influenced by both Tobacco and Candy Floss. This sounds like a very unique and unusual combination but it truly worked. The Cedarwood and Cade provided the smokiness. Cedarwood added a slightly fireworks note whereas the Cade added an earthy type of note which evokes post smoking a cigarette. Cade Oil is also the same oil that makes up the smoky aspect of the 4:20/Botanomancy Fragrance at Lush.  The Rose and Tonka make up the Candy Floss part of the scent. The Rose adds a slight floral and I guess a very pink scent to the fragrance whilst the Tonka and Rose that Vanilla Sugar note that you associate quite vividly with candy floss. I do get tobacco but I also get a hint of the weather after the fireworks have been let off and honestly I adore it. 

I think bringing this back out in the Autumn would be amazing! I know that some say that all good things must come to an end but why not throw that saying in the bin and re-release them into the world?

Metamorphosis 

Metamorphosis contains Labdanum Resinoid, Sicilian Red Mandarin Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Neroli Oil and Sandalwood Oil. 

I have been longing for Metamoprhosis Bath Bomb and Perfume to make a massive comeback. I know that Metamorphosis Bath Bomb is coming back in the form of September's Kitchen Box and I cannot wait. However, I managed to smell the perfume at a Lush Showcase event and I fell in love with it but it became a hunt to find it ever again. Sadly the perfume was only available for a very short time to the point that when I found it in a store I smelt it and wanted it to develop and when I went back to get it it had completely vanished. 

The main star for me is the Clove Bud Oil that provides it bold punch of spice to the scent. The Sicilian Red Mandarin and Labdanum to me blend together to create a slightly powdery yet still slightly punchy citrus scent that pairs beautifully with the clove whilst neroli helps to make the scents pop and adds a slight peppery note to the scent.  

This truly is a fragrance that is suited for the colder months. To me, this scent reminds me slightly of walking through the festive markets on a cold afternoon. The smell of the slightly charred scent mixed with the wood of the markets, the slightly peppery note from vendors nearby and the blast of citrus that comes from the mulled punches that are bubbling and that are ready to be sipped by passerbys and visitors to the market. 

As this fragrance was out for such a short time, if it was to come back I would be the first to run to my local store to snag a bottle up! 

Rentless 

Rentless contains Patchouli Oil, Labdanum Resinoid,  Tonka Absolute and Grapefruit Oil. 

Are you aware of the story that inspired Rentless to become a perfume at Lush? 

Inspired by Tachowa Covington, Rentless evokes the story of the twenty five years Covington spent being homeless in California. After stumbling upon an abandoned tank, he decided to convert it into his home. Covington made an oath with God that he would spend his new life and care and nurture those who needed his help. Whilst renovating the tank, he decided to fill it with a plethora of recycled items. Covington used these materials to design  makeshift shelving and trinkets with. Things took a turn when the well known street artist Banksy thought Covington's home was something to be mocked at. Banksy decided to write 'This Looks a Bit Like an Elephant' across the tank. Due to how well known Banksy and his work is, the tank sparked interest from a plethora of people. This caused the tank to be purchased by a construction company. This purchase demolished the memories, the home and the life that he had created for himself.

The Patchouli and Labdanum blend together to create a spicy slightly woody scent that reminds me slightly of wood that's been burnt in the middle of a forest in the height of Autumn whilst the Tonka adds a rich creamy note that also adds a slight hit of Vanilla to the mix. The grapefruit adds a punchy fruitiness to this perfume. When all of these oils are blended together it creates a truly unique scent that reminds me of the beginning of Autumn. 

When I've asked people in the past about which perfumes they would like to see return, Rentless is always one that is forever mentioned so I am a bit surprised that it hasn't returned to Lush stores already!

Smugglers Soul  

Smugglers Soul contains Sandalwood, Vetivert, Lemongrass and Tagetes. 

The Sandalwood and Vetivert to me create a deep woody scent that has a fresh yet earthy edge to it. I adore Vetivert especially in other perfumes from Lush such as Dear John! The Lemongrass and Tagetes blend together to create a fresh yet citrus scent which helps the fragrance to be quite multidimensional compared to a lot of woody fragrances that are on the market. I loved Snuggers Soul on a slightly cool Spring day when I was going out running errands and needed a pick me up or on evenings out 

Lush have re-released the Smugglers Soul Face and Body Scrub as a part of their retro range that is stocked behind the till which has brought a new audience to the fragrance. I think that they should re-release the perfume too as it would give a brand new audience the opportunity to use the scrub and perfume jointly as a sort of their morning routine perhaps? 

Superworld Unknown 

Superworld Unknown contains Lime Oil, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Cassia Oil, Neroli Oil, Rose Absolute, Sandalwood Oil, Cocoa Absokute and Styrax Resinoid. 

Superworld Unknown is inspired by all things funfairs such as candy floss, lemon sherbet and all the nostalgic memories that come with it. 

The Cassia, Lime and Lemon blend together to create the focus of this scent which creates a sort of scent that is reminiscent of that iconic Cola drink that we all know quite well. The Styrax and Cocoa give a sort of creamy sweetness to the perfume with a sort of slightly woody note in the background. I think it may just be but it does remind me slightly of that creamy sugary scent that you get when you walk past a funfair that is making fresh fries filled doughnuts. It's a fun spicy creamy scent that has pinches of bright citrus throughout it. I absolutely adore it. A scent that works for both   Summer and Winter in my opinion. 

I know that it has only been recently discontinued but honestly brig it back Lush. I don't know why it was discontinued especially when it was released in a Kitchen Box in a sugar scrub format. I recently did see it at the Lush Arndale store but it was only in a tester bottle which saddened me as I was very much tempted to grab a final bottle if they had any left. I think Superworld Unknown should be re-released as a solid perfume and a 30ml bottle. I think that would be amazing and would give those who couldn't afford the 100ml bottle the opportunity to experience this perfume! 

Celebrate 

Celebrate Perfume contains Brazilian Orange Oil, Lime Oil and Cognac Oil. 

If you have been a fan of Lush for a while then you may know Celebrate via the Celebrate Shower Gel, Celebrate Body Spray, Bubbly Gel/Lotion, Golden Wonder Bath Bomb or Catch Me If You Can Bath Bomb.The list really goes on. Celebrate truly is the queen of the party! 

If you're not aware of Celebrate then imagine a fragrance that truly is the epitome of a Bucks Fizz Cocktail at the beginning of a party. The Brazilian Orange Oil and Lime Oil create a sharp citrus fragrance that is sharp and zesty whilst the Cognac Oil provides a slightly sparkling base that makes you keep sniffing to figure out what it truly is. 

As mentioned above, Celebrate has been in the format of a Body Spray but the perfume version was just unbelievable. The citrus just popped so brightly and the Cognac created a complex base that for me isn't the same in the Body Spray due to the switch up from Cognac to Wine Lees Oil. I am also a little bias as this was one of the first fragrances from the old Lush Kitchen that I managed to get my hands on. I adored it. I sprayed it liberally. I miss it dearly. I know that Celebrate Body Spray has been included via the Christmas Range in years gone by so I feel like this could be a good contender for the Christmas 2026 line up. There are a few fragrances in this blog post that would be amazing as a product in the Holiday range but that's me being me. 

Princess Cottongrass

Princess Cottongrass contains Pine Oil, Neroli Oil, Nettle Absolute and Violet Leaf Absolute. 

The Neroli and Violet Lead blend together to create a soft floral whilst the Pine and Nettle blend together create a very fresh grassy scent that has a blast of aromatic spiciness peeking through. I realise that floral, grassy and aromatic could sound overwhelming and chaotic and I guess Princess cotton grass was but in an amazing way. Beautifully chaotic some may say but I think that's what the heart of Lush is sometimes and I think at the time of release Princess Cottongrass and some of the other perfumes that came out at the same time summed that up perfectly. (Stayin' Alive, Cyanide and Death & Decay to name a few).  

The main reason of why I think Princess cotton grass is because in my opinion it's the right time to. It would fit in with Grass SHOWER Gel returning and now being a firm favourite and staple in all Lush stores, the Mossy Bottom Body Spray that shares the same scent as Grass, Guardians Of The Forest Body Spray that I think would be beautiful as a base for Princess Cottongrass to layer on top of and the brand new Roo In the Nettles Facial Cleanser!

If you could bring back any perfume from Lush? Let me know!

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Some Lovely Lemon Lush Products With Them! | Lush Kitchen July Shower Box 2025

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I recently received my Lush Kitchen July Shower Box and I thought that today I would talk to you all about the contents of the box and my thoughts on the box as a whole! 

The theme of Julys box is simply when life gives you Lemons. Some people decide to make Lemonade out of Lemons or a gorgeous Lemon Drizzle Cake but Lush have decided to turn their Lemons  into Lemon scented cosmetic products! 

Lemon Shower Gel

Ingredients:

Glycerine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Irish Moss Infusion (Chondrus crispus), Water (Aqua), Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Lauryl Betaine, *Limonene, Perfume, Myrrh Resinoid (Commiphora myrrha), Lemongrass Oil (Cymbopogon citratus), Bergamot Oil (Citrus Aurantium bergamia), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus), Citral, Linalool. 

I have been longing for a Lemon centric Shower Gel from Lush for a while so as soon as I heard that this Kitchen Box was dropping I knew that I had to have it for the Shower Gel alone! I used to adore the Refresher Shower Jelly which to me was the epitome of Lemon Curd in shower form when it was available to purchase from Lush stores. 

The blend of Myrrh, Lemongrass and Bergamot creates a beautiful scent. The combination of these three different oils creates a scent that reminds me of the smell of freshly cut Lemons on a hot Summer day with a slightly sharp kick in the background from the Lemongrass. I was a bit unsure on how the Myrrh would smell in regards to creating a fresh citrus scent but to me it helps to create a slightly fresh slightly woody background note that helps the Lemongrass and Bergamot be the stars of the show in this Shower Gel. If you are been loving Lush for a while now then you may remember this scent by a different name. lemon smelt that contained chunks of cocoa Butter on the top of the gel to help nourish the skin. Although Lemon doesn't contain the cocoa Butter it does contain Glycerine that is known to provide the skin with plenty of moisture  and nourishment. 

I have been absolutely loving using this so far and could definitely see this reappearing at Lush in the form of a seasonal range or this time next year as a part of a fully fledged Summer Range. If you're listening Lush then please re-release Refresher Shower Jelly whilst you're at it if you are releasing a Summer Range. Thanks! 

Lemony Flutter Body Conditioner 

Ingredients:

Water (Aqua), Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Glycerine, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Stearic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Sicilian Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia), Tagetes Oil (Tagetes minuta), Chamomile Blue Oil (Matricaria chamomilla), Citral, Coumarin, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume. 

We all need our bodies to be soft and supple even during the hot summer months! 

Lemony Flutter Body Conditioner does just that! If you're unsure on what a body conditioner is then imagine a sort of in-shower body butter that you wash off before hopping out of the bath/shower instead of applying after and having to wait forever for it to absorb into the skin! 

Lemony Flutter contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter which combine to create a lovely base for the Body Conditioner that will moisturise and soften the skin when you apply it in the tub or shower!

Lemony Flutter contains Sicilian Lemon Oil, Lavender Oil, Chamomile Blue Oil alongside some other goodies which combine to create a lovely sharp citrus scent with a soft herbal background. This also shares the same scent as the Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter. 

When I used this in the shower, the conditioner glided on my skin and the sharp citrus scent engulfed my entire bathroom. I left it on for a couple of minutes massaged it into my skin and rinsed it off to reveal soft smooth glowing skin. I loved the scent of this whilst I was enjoying my pamper session in the bathroom. 

The Lavender and Chamomile came out a little bit more post shower. I tend to be a bit hesitant with some Lavender and chamomile scented products as it can come across a bit too much and always reminds me a bit of my local swimming baths.  (Thinking about it now, this might be why I stray away from products such as Dream Cream until the Winter period of the year...) I was a touch surprised by this because I was expecting the Lemon to stay as strong as it did when first applying it to my skin but I did still enjoy the body conditioner as a whole as the citrus scent that was left behind stopped the Lavender and Chamomile from being too much to use for myself personally. 

If you have quite dry skin and feel like nothing is moisturising it enough then I think that the body conditioners at Lush will help your skin severely! 

Nibble Lip Scrub 

Ingredients:

Caster Sugar, Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Glycerine, Sicilian Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), *Limonene, Citric Acid, Citral, Geraniol.

We all need a lip scrub to keep our lips soft and supple for all that summer loving! 

For this Kitchen Box, Lush have turned a few Lemons into a brand new flavour of their iconic Lip Scrub thats full of zesty goodness! This lip scrub contains Caster Sugar which creates the base of this gorgeous product and helps to make lips soft and gorgeous. Sicilian Lemon Oil and Citric Acid blend together to create a super sharp Lemon flavour and the Organic Jojoba Oil helps to moisturise lips which I adore as some lip scrubs from other brands in the past have left my lips really dry and irritated! 

Nibble does only contain Sicilian Lemon Oil but sometimes less is best as it allows the Sicilian Lemon Oil to really shine bright in this lip scrub. I'm sure by now you can tell that I love anything Lemon so a severely bright and sharp Lemon flavoured Lip Scrubs is truly the dream for me. 

Sexy Peel Soap 

Ingredients:

Water (Aqua), Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil (Brassica napus; Cocos nucifera), Propylene Glycol, Cornstarch (Zea mays), Fresh Lemon Peel (Citrus limonum), Fresh Orange Peel (Citrus aurantium dulcis), *Limonene, Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Fresh Orange Juice (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Fresh Lime Peel (Citrus aurantifolia), Lime Oil (Citrus aurantifolia), Perfume, Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradisi), Fresh Lime Juice (Citrus aurantifolia), Sicilian Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Glycerine, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Citral, Geraniol, Linalool. 

Lush is bringing sexy back! Sexy Peel that is!

Sexy Peel used to be an utterly zingy staple at Lush stores and I adored it. Every time I went into a Lush store I would always find it on the shelf and make sure I gave it a sniff as it always just perked my day up and made me want to enjoy the rest of my day even if it was a busy weekend in the middle of Leeds city centre where people would rush to get somewhere , bump into you and not apologise. 

Sexy Peel being a fun spin on the term zesty peel helps to showcase not only the oils of the fruits that are used in this soap and on many other cosmetic products but also the zest/peel of the same fruits too! 

Sexy Peel contains Sicilian Lemon Oil, Lime Oil and Grapefruit Oil alongside Fresh Lime Peel, Fresh Lemon Peel and Fresh Orange Peel which blend together to create a truly zingy soap that will perk you up no matter what time of the day it is or how bad your day has been going. 

I've been using this Soap since the box arrived and I know that I am going to be truly saddened when I finish this slice of Soap! 

Lemon Aid Cleanser 

Ingredients:

Kaolin, Glycerine, Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis), Tahini (Sesamum indicum), Fresh Carrot (Daucus carota sativa), Water (Aqua), Fresh Lemon Zest (Citrus Limonum), Propylene Glycol, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Sicilian Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus), Limonene, Colour 15985:1, Colour 19140:1. 

When life gives you lemons, make Lemon Aid! 

Lush have decided to turn their lemonade into a gorgeous Lemon Aid Fresh Facial Cleanser! 

This cleanser contains Ground Almond that help to scrub away dirt and grime alongside Kaolin which is known for its oil absorbing properties. Lemon Aid also contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter to ensure that the cleanser itself isn't too stripping for the face! 

Lemon Aid also contains Fresh Carrot which is known for its Vitamin C properties which in turn helps to give the skin a subtle glow that makes you look like you're radiant from within! This facial cleanser also contains Sicilian Lemon Oil which creates a gorgeous punchy Lemon scent that will help to wake you up on those days in the summer where getting up even feels a little bit too much! 

I have seen that a few people have been a bit confused when receiving this facial cleanser due to the jelly layer on top courtesy of Carrageenan Extract. I have seen people use it as an eye mask post cleansing the face, I have seen people shredding it up and mixing it and many other ways of using it. My favourite when it comes to the Jelly layer is to peel it off the top of the Ground Almond and Kaolin base of Lemon Aid and use it as a Jelly Cleanser. Lush have created Carrageenan based facial products before so in my mind that made the most sense. I have been enjoying using the jelly cleanser layer alongside the scrubby cleanser.  (Let me know how you've been using the jelly layer!) I do get that it does seem a bit weird for a cleanser to come with a jelly layer and maybe Lish could explain why but as I say above as someone who uses a lot of cleansers I just took it to be a sort of jelly cleanser. 

I have enjoyed  incorporating Lemon Aid into my skin care routine especially since we've had a heatwave in the UK. The ground almonds have helped to keep my skin feeling smooth. Ive loved how the Carrot gives me a glow. 

Since the beginning of the year, I have become a bit of a glow fiend when it comes to my skincare regime. For example, I do use Bright and Beautiful from Lush which contains 10% Vitamin C which if you're looking for a more vibrant glow to the skin compared to Lemon Aid then it might be worth looking into and trying out. 

I do think that they could specify the situation with the Carrageenan and the jelly layer as I think it would make using it a bit easier for some of those who have subscribed and received this Kitchen Box but on the whole I think that this would be a great product during the summer months in Lush stores! 

Overall, as you can tell, I really enjoy this Kitchen Box. There's a variety of products to use for the face and the body and the products all contain a sharp lemon scent in one way or another that make you want to either drink cocktails and bathe in the sun or feel refreshed after a long gruelling week. I adore Lemons in many ways as I have stated throughout this post but honestly I wasn't expecting to enjoy this Kitchen Box to the point that I need this Box to become a Summer mini range at Lush alongside Refreher Shower Jelly (pretty please Lush!)
