Celebrating Thirty Years Of Lush Through The Art Of Body Sprays | Lush Eras/Summer Body Sprays

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Lush recently released five new limited edition Body Sprays and I thought that today I would talk to you all about them. I know that these Body Sprays have been at Lush stores for a while now but I like to take my time when it comes to reviewing fragrance due to fragrance being such a personal thing regarding reviewing the scent and the fragrance itself. These body sprays represent the different eras of Lush Cosmetics through different iconic, fan favourite and brand new scents. 

Karma

Ingredients:

Organic Alcohol Denat., Water (Aqua), Perfume, Glycerine, Patchouli Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Lavandin Oil, Pine Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Elemi Oil, Cassie Absolute, Cinnamal, Citral, Citronellol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool. 

Karma has been that fragrance. A true heady fragrance that just screams Lush to me. Frankly, I am quite surprised that it has took this long for the Karma fragrance to be released in a Body Spray format but I am super grateful that it has been released in 2025 as it  has been 30 years since Karma was first released into the world of fragrance and cosmetics and Lush. 

I am a bit biased when it comes to my opinion of Karma as it has been a bit of a on/off signature fragrance for me for a long while now. I realise a on/off signature fragrance sounds counterintuitive. However, as someone who is super indecisive about anything and everything  alongside being non-binary it's best for me to have multiple signature fragrances. Furthermore, I have a lot of products that are on the Karma scent family at Lush so that influences my bias because well if I have everything in a scent family I do like to use them. 

If you have never smelt Karma before then imagine a fragrance that evokes the vibe of 70's London where Patchouli incense floats down the cobbled streets of London whilst the scent of the fresh oranges, lavender and lemongrass from the markets and bushes  nearby mingle together to create a truly divine fragrance. 

In my opinion, when it comes to the Karma  Body Spray, the Patchouli, Orange and Lemongrass are the three main players whilst the Elemi, Pine and Lavender help to ensure that the fragrance as a whole shines bright on the skin. 

When I spray the body spray onto my skin, I am hit with a massive blast of bright, beautiful and zingy citrus which then entwines itself with the deep dark heady Patchouli which stay at the forefront of the scent whilst during the day a blast of Lemongrass and Elemi comes through to help boost the citrus elements of this Body Spray. Towards the end of the day, the base notes blast through which consists of Pine and Lavender which helps to boost the Patchouli back towards the forefront and makes you realise that this scent not only takes you on a journey when you wear it but also that it's a powerhouse. 

I've worn this Body Spray on both a very warm day and a cold day and the strength of the Patchouli and Orange has varied. It is well known that on a warm day, spicy and warm notes have a tendency of projecting quite boldly which was proven in this case by the Patchouli being a lot stronger than the citrus notes and on a colder day I did notice that I could smell the Orange, Lemongrass and Lavender a little bit more than usual.  I've worn this all day several times and honestly I can smell it from the initial spray to many many hours later. (By this id say on an average ten hours at least for myself). 

I'd definitely recommend giving the Karma Body Spray a try if you haven't before and if you have then I'd say compare it against the well known and well loved Karma Perfume and see if any of the notes come out on your skin slightly different between the two formulations! 

Blue Skies & Fluffy White Clouds 

Ingredients:

Organic Alcohol Denat., Water (Aqua), Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil, Glycerine, Perfume, Frankincense Resinoid, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Synthetic Musk, Amyl Cinnamal, Eugenol, Limonene. 

Not all blue skies and white fluffy cloud end up being what we think they are... 

Blue Skies and White Fluffy Clouds has been an all year round product from Lush in the form of a Bubble Bar and honestly in my opinion has been slept on a little bit in the past few years so I am glad Lush have decided to bring it out in a Body Spray format. I think it will make people appreciate the scent profile a little bit more now it's available in a fragrance format. 

Blue Skies contains Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil and Frankincense Resinoid which blend together to create a truly unique scent. It's slightly spicy, slightly sweet and honestly just reminds me of those British Summers where you would run out to have a picnic due to tht sweet summery element but as soon as you sit down on the grass things would get spicy and the rain would absolutely drench you. In my opinion, Blue Skies also has a sort of spicy Cola element to it. 

I'm sure if you've been reading for a while then you will know that I adore any scent that contains Patchouli or Cinnamon and there is no exception in that when it comes to Blue Skies. My only critique about this fragrance is that I think there could be a touch more Cinnamon in this body spray as the Cinnamon comes out the most when the Body Spray has completely dried down on the skin which if you're unaware of like I was the first time wearing this Body Spray then it slightly surprises you later on. I am also a Cinnamon fiend so this may just be a personal opinion so do go spray it in store and let me know your thoughts! 

Strawberry Feels Forever 

Ingredients 

Organic Alcohol Denat., Water (Aqua), Perfume, Glycerine, Olibanum Oil, Kenyan Geranium Oil, Bergamot Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Benzoin Resinoid, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Anise Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamal, Coumarin, Farnesol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool. 

Strawberry Feels Forever... summer Feels Forever... Well the ultimate wish is that summer could last forever!

Long hot Summers and Strawberies just go well together... 

Some may know Strawberry Feels Forever under a different name. Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, D'Fluff... The list goes on. 

The scent of body spray is the epitome of Strawberries and Cream. You have the superbly sweet fruitiness of the strawberry coming from the combination of Kenyan Geranium Oil, Bergamot, West Timor Sandalwood Oil and Olibanum Oil and the scent of the beautiful cream from the Vanilla and Benzoin that blend together to really evoke the fragrance of a well known English Summer dessert! 

I have forever enjoyed the D'Fluff scent and on me it stays very much true to the scent that has a retro legend at Lush for many years. It's bright, sweet and everything you want in a Strawberries and Cream inspired fragrance. I sprayed it and it lasted for at least a good eight hours on myself. 

The only qualm that I have about this fragrance is that the Vanilla became slightly Plastic like on my skin around the 5 hour mark which sadly sometimes happens on my skin with scents that focus on Vanilla a bit.. The last fragrance that this happened with was a very well known luxury fragrance brand that are known for their catchy names and bold scents.

Super Milk 

Ingredients: 

Organic Alcohol Denat., Water (Aqua), Perfume, Glycerine, Litsea Cubeba Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vanilla Absolute, Almond Essential Oil, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Coumarin, Limonene, Linalool.

The viral sensation has finally come over to the dark Body Spray side... 

I am sure you know about Super Milk by now due to the vitality of the fragrance. Super Milk started out as a beautiful hair primer that helps to nourish, detangle and protect against heat but it's now available in a body spray format! 

When I sprayed this on my skin, the first notes that I could detect were the Almond and Tonka which blended together to create a slightly nutty and slightly malty note that reminded me of when you've just baked a cake. Once these notes had settled on my skin the Litsea Cubeba and Vanilla mingled with the pre-existing notes to create a beautiful citrus creamy baked goods scent that Super Milk is well known to be like. I really enjoyed the smell of this as alongside the citrus creamy notes that are mentioned above to my nose it also had a slightly smoky note to it from the Tonka that helped to cut through some of the sweetness of the fragrance. 

The only downfall of this fragrance for me was that the Litsea Cubeba jumped off my skin quite quickly when I sprayed the Body Spray onto my skin. Sadly I think this is a me problem rather than Super Milk's. Fragrances are quite personal and adapt to our skin dna and I have noticed lately that a lot of bright  citrus fragrances jump off my skin quite quickly which is a bit of a pain because sometimes all I want is a pure sprightly citrus fragrance to help perk me up during a dark and gloomy day. 

It may just be me so definitely go into a store and test it out if you can and let me know if the citrus notes in Super Milk Body Spray flash off your skin quickly too!

Stormy Weather 

Ingredients:

Organic Alcohol Denat., Water (Aqua), Perfume, Glycerine, Neroli Oil, Basil Oil, Styrax Oil, Rosewood Oil, Bergamot Oil, Synthetic Musk, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Coumarin, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool.

Even when the weather gets stormy, you need to smell fabulous! 

Stormy Weather contains Neroli Oil, Basil Oil, Styrax Oil, Rosewood Oil, Bergamot Oil and Synthetic Musk that blend together to create a truly unique scent that is perfect for the transition from Summer into early Autumn in my opinion. 

Stormy Weather is a brand new fragrance for 2025 from Lush. Whereas Karma operates the start of Lush thirty years ago, Stormy Weather celebrates the vibe of where fragrances can go within 2025 and focus on how fragrances can relate to the environment, our feelings and the memories that it can create such as remembering that it was a stormy day during a first date when you wore Stormy Weather because it reflected the bad weather yet made you feel joyful. 

When I have worn the Stormy Weather Body Spray, the Bergamot is the star of the show and is quite prominent when you spray it onto the skin. Once the Bergamot has dried down the Basil, Neroli and Styrax come out in full force to create a truly fresh yet three dimensional scent whilst the Rosewood and Synthetic Musk come through last to create a slightly sweet yet woody base to this fragrance. 

As mentioned, on my skin the Bergamot, Basil and Rosewood come out the most which blend together to create a really fresh summery scent with aquatic notes and a strong woody base which for a fragrance called Stormy Weather was a bit surprising as I think the initial thinking with a name such as Stormy Weather is deep, smoky and maybe even something Anise forward. In my opinion, Stormy Weather smells like a mixture of Hiccup from the How To Train Your Dragon X Lush collaboration range and the Salty Body Spray from Lush

I think that Stormy Weather is a beautiful scent  that projects quite vividly. Personally, on myself it feels a bit like it's a fragrance suited to a particular mood and a particular vibe which can be a touch troublesome as I am not always in that specific mood so I don't always gravitate towards Stormy Weather but I do enjoy wearing it when I am in that mood. 

 

I think that this could be a great fragrance for those in your life who adore aquatic fresh scents with a blast of wood and citrus underneath and would make for an amazing gift for either a special occasion or for when someone in your life needs a treat! When I've been into a store with my partner, they have said that they enjoy this fragrance so I have been tempted lately to grab them a bottle as a treat! 

Have you tried any of these five Body Sprays that were released to celebrate thirty years of Lush? Which one is your favourite? If you could turn a Lush fragrance into a Body spray, which one would it be? Let me know in the comments and on social media!

My Dream Lush X Community Fragrances

 Hey everyone!

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Lush recently announced that a new Lush X Communiry Fragrance drop will be happening soon so I thought that today I would talk to you all about seven fragrances of my choosing that I would love to see some day as a part of a Lush X Community Fragrance drop! 

Lush X Community is a limited time range at Lush that sometimes happens throughout the year and is focused on allowing the Lush Community to have their say on what retro and much loved scents at Lush should be featured as part of the drop. So far, the Lush  Community  has had their say on a Shower Gel drop, a Candle drop and now it’s time for the fragrances to shine. Fragrances did make an appearance as the first Lush X Community drop which introduced the iconic Sticky Dates Body Spray into the world!

Fragrance is subjective so these are just my personal choices. Talking about Frsgrances, Lush did recently release a new line of fragrances which include the much talked about Chelsea Morning. Let me know if you would like a blog post about my thoughts on the scents in that range. 

Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising contains Bergamot Oil and Cassia Oil. 

To me, this blend of amazing oils creates a gorgeous warm and spicy scent with a sort of sparkling citrus undertone. 

This was one of my first ever Lush Bath Bombs that I used and honestly it was love at first sight! I am a fiend for anything that has a spicy scent to it and as this scent is very much intriguing due to the moisture of spice and citrus, I just wanted more in this scent. It honestly does give me the vibe of a warm hug during the colder months or being wrapped up nice and cosy whilst you enjoy a warming drink in the cold months. Now sadly, Phoenix Rising did suffer a rise and fall at Lush and was discontinued for a while but now it’s back and better via the brand new Retro/Archive Wall at Lush and now that it’s back front and centre I think that Phoenix Rising would be perfect in the form of a Body Spray. Just imagine smelling of during the cold months, you’d have people wanting to smell you and ask you what you’re wearing! 

May Day 

May Day was my first Charity Bath Bomb from Lush and the main reason as to why I’m including this scent is due to nostalgia but I really did love the scent of this Bath Bomb.  To this day, I think that releasing it as a fragrance with a percentage going to a charity would not only fit in with what Lush stands for and a business but also a great idea for those who haven’t had the pleasure of smelling May Day. 

May Day contains Fennel Oil, Rosewood Oil and Bergamot Oil which creates a sort of lovely blend of spice, floral and citrus all in one bath bomb with a slight focus on the spice with a touch of the floral coming through the most. 

May Day was released in 2014 as a charity bath bomb to help protect badgers in the UK. I think for those who like say Dragons Egg or Sakura but want a little bit of spice thrown in would definitely enjoy this. 

Daddy-O 

Daddy-O contains Violet Leaf and Pakistani Rose Absolutes, Bergamot Oil, Cananga Oil and Fresh Lime Juice. This is a floral scent but to me it’s a fresh and slightly citrus take on a floral. Imagine a pure intense Violet scent that feels like a mixture of crushed up Parma Violet sweets mixed with freshly picked Violet mixed with a slightly citrus undertone. 

This is to die for and recently Lush has been expanding the Daddy-O scent into other products such as the Super Dad Bath Bomb from Fathers Day and Violet Cream Conditioner. 

I think that this scent in a fragrance format would be amazing. Does Lush have other amazing floral scents? Yes, I could spend all day listing them off but I think that Daddy-O would do amazing for those who are a bit hesitant when it comes to Violet Scents as I think Daddy-O is that perfect mix of floral, citrus and sweet to get those hesitant onto the Violet fragrance hype. 

Posh Chocolate 

I mean, who doesn’t love smelling like a snack and chocolate is the ultimate snack… well it is to me! 

Posh Chocolate contains Hazelnut Milk, Cocoa Powder, Cocoa Absolute, Australian Sandalwood Oil and Vanilla Absolute. Chocolate and Hazelnut you say, doesn’t that sound like a well known chocolate spread you also say? Maybe… If you like a well known  hazelnut and chocolate spread then imagine it in a Fragrance from. 

Lush does have a fair few gourmand fragrances and they have gone viral for being well delicious but i am intrigued to see how strong and well Posh Chocolate would be in a  fragrance form. Just imagine it, walking into work or going out and you have people asking why you smell like a delicious chocolate dessert and you say well it’s Posh Chocolate of course! I also love how fragrances can change your mood and I definitely think after a spray of this your mood would definitely be enhanced! 

Brother Moon 

Brother Moon contains Geranium Oil, Grapefruit Oil and Rose Oil. I know that this may sound like such a weird mixture but honestly it works and creates a beautifully inviting yet slightly intriguing scent. The Geranium and Rose help to create a scent that reminds you of walking through a beautiful fresh botanical garden whilst the Grapefruit helps to cut through this and add a huge blast of brightness to the scent. 

I know that you may see Rose and instantly think of Rose Jam at Lush and how there is already a Perfume and Body Spray of Rose Jam but to me Brother Moon is a sort of grown up cousin of Rose Jam. They would layer beautifully together but I think that if Brother Moon was to be released then those who find Rose Jam a little bit too sweet may be drawn to Brother Moon. 

Carrots/Follow The White Rabbit 

Follow The White Rabbit has become an Easter staple at Lush. Follow The White Rabbit contains Bergamot Oil, Buchu Oil and Sicilian Lemon Oil. This blend of oils creates a truly bright and citrus scent with a slightly tart blackcurrant undertone that helps to round out the citruses and make it feel like you’re enjoying a delicious picnic in the park in the midst of Spring when it’s sunny for those few days before the English April Showers kick in. 

Lush have released many products in the Carrots/Follow The White Rabbits scent family over the years ranging from soaps to bath and shower products but they have never released a fragrance of it! I think that it would do amazing as a fragrance. You could wear it during the Spring when flowers are slowly blooming, you could wear it in Autumn when you need a little pick me up… I mean you could even layer it with Grass Shower Gel for the ultimate sort of picnic vibe. It would be amazing! Well I think it would be amazing! 

Party On 

Correct me if I’m wrong but Party On was released back in the day to help people party the night away for when you need a pick me up the day after when you’ve partied just that little bit too hard. 

Party On contains Lime Oil, Menthol, Rosemary Oil and Juniperberry Oil. This may sound like an odd combination but it really works. The Menthol alongside the Juniperberry and Rosemary give a sort of clean minty herbal scent whilst the Lime contrasts against it and gives a massive hit of zing to the product. I adore it! 

I think that this as a fragrance would be amazing. It could be used for all those festive parties that are about to kick off or for when you’re feeling a little bit worse for wear the day after but you still need to go outside. I just think that it would do really well and that it’s a unique scent that I think should be brought out as a fragrance for those who haven’t experienced it before. Lush did have this scent out as a Temple Balm years ago which I think was the nearest to this scent being out as a fragrance really but I think this as a festive party fragrance would be really amazing! 

What would be your top picks for your favourite Lush X Community Perfumes if you choose them? Let me know down below!

Spraying The Body Sprays So I Smell Good For That Summer Loving! | Lush Summer Treats Body Spray Range 2024

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that today I would talk to you about the limited edition Lush Body Sprays that have dropped as part of their Summer Treats range for the Summer. 

In my last post, I focused on Lemony Flutter which Lush kindly sent me it to review on here (thank you Lush) so I have decided to focus on the rest of the range within this post. If you want to read all about my review and opinions on the brand new summer Lemony Flutter Body Spray then do read my last blog post. 

All of the Body Sprays are priced at £25. If you want to grab any of the Body Sprays (including Lemony Flutter) that are listed below then run don’t walk to your local Lush store or online as these are only available during August!  

Grape Soda 

We all get a little bit thirsty in the Summer… 

This is a brand new Body Spray from Lush and as the name says, the Spray takes inspiration from fruity soda. 

This Body Spray contains Juniperberry Oil and Sweet Wild Orange Oil. This combination of oils creates a very fruity scent. To me, it reminds me of the Grape Fanta Cans of American Soda that you can get from American Candy Stores across the UK.  This body spray also shares the same scent as the Big Squeeze Bath Bomb and Vampire Kisses Lip Scrub from Lush. 

Honestly, this is a bit of a confusing scent for me. When I sprayed it in store, it took a couple of minutes to develop on my skin so I was unsure on what the smell was reminding me of or if there was much scent at all and then when it kicked in, I grew to enjoy the scent. I think I need to respray it in store to properly tell if I do enjoy it or not but from the dry down, it does remind me of the Fanta Grape Cans and enjoying a cold refreshing can on a hot Summers day. If you like your sweet scents then I think that you will adore this. If you adore Snow Fairy then I think that you will enjoy this scent as to me it does give off a Summery sort of sibling to Snow Fairy. If I was going to pair this alongside other products from Lush then I think I would pair it with Sultana Of Soap or anything The Comforter scented as the berry notes in both would compliment the body spray in my opinion. 

Passion 

One spray and this Body Spray will definitely add some passion to your life! 

This body spray contains Lime, Litsea Cubeba and Brazilian Orange Oils. Honestly, this is Summer in a bottle to me. Bright and zingy! 

When I sprayed it I instantly got that iconic Passion scent from Lush and I did say oh my god quite loudly in store when I sprayed this oops. When it settled on my skin, it did still smell of bright Passion Fruit but I did detect a slight creaminess to it. This may be due to the Litsea Cubeba? The creaminess to me added a bit of depth for the citrus to jump off and ensured that the citrus didn’t instantly flash off my skin which has happened previously with other citrus fragrances which is a shame because I love citrus scents! This body spray doesnt disappoint! 

You could pair this with a plethora of items from Lush such as Passion Shower Gel or the Passion Bath Bomb, Sweet Wild Orange Hand Balm, Orange Scrub or Brightside Bubble Bar because well Orange and Passionfruit are beautiful companions scent wise. I did use Passion Body Spray the other day and I did pair it with Tropical Co-Mingle, Bongo Shower Jelly and Passion Shower Gel and oh my god I felt and smelt amazing!

Peaches

Who doesnt want to smell like a juicy ripe peach? 

This body spray contains Sweet Orange, Buchu and Litsea Cubeba Oils, Olibanum Resinoid and Champaca Absolute. 

If you remember the Lush X Super Mario Bros Movie Collaboration then you may remember the Princess Peach Body Spray, well she’s back with a brand new name and a glow up! 

I did publish a blog post about the Mario Collab so if you want to read all about the previous version then click here. 

This is very similar to Princess Peach but to my nose this is a little bit fruitier. The old version had a Watermelon note to me that was quite prominent when you first spray it whereas Peaches doesn’t so much. I recently picked up some Peach Hi-Chew’s whilst I was at an Asian Supermarket recently and they smell exactly like the spray! 

I would pair this with Thermal Waves, Passionfruit Shower Gel, Peachy Bath Bomb, Brother Moon Bath Bomb and anything Rose Jam. I just think that Peach and Rose go beautifully together! 

Space Girl 

Time to feel like you’re off into orbit with this Body Spray! 

This body spray contains Bergamot Oil., Grapefruit Oil and Almond Essential Oil. Space Girl reminds me of walking into a sweet shop and being able to smell all the sweets. Creamy. Fruity. Sugary. It does have a bit of a Pink Lemonade vibe too. I have enjoyed Space Girl in many iterations and this Body Spray reminds me of the Asteroid City collaboration Shower Gel that was scented in Space Girl the most. Fruity with a big blast of sweet Almond. I adore this scent and I can totally see why it is a part of the Summer Treats range! I would pair this with the Space Girl Barth Bomb that is a part of the I’m Back/Retro/Remind/Archive Wall and the old Very Very Frightening Shower Gel. 

Sticky Dates 

Sticky Dates Body Spray is back baby! I have done a in-depth blog post about the Sticky Dates Body Spray from when it was last released but I will give a quick sort of run down of this version. (Click here to read about the previous version of Sticky Dates Body Spray). 

This body spray contains Carob Resinoid, Benzoin Resinoid in and Sandalwood Oil. 

It’s sweet. Its gourmand, it smells like baked goods and is very much going to be an amazing body spray for when the weather gets a touch colder. I was a bit unsure on if the fragrance had been dialled down or changed but nope. This version packs a massive punch and lasts a long time on the skin.i tried the new version whilst I was out running errands in Leeds and I could still smell it by the time I was home and cleansing my face in the evening. 

If you haven’t smelt Sticky Dates before then imagine a Sticky Toffee Pudding but in washable form! adore it and love that Lush are putting the scent into different formats! I think that alongside Turmeric Latte, this is the perfect gourmand scent for a special; occasion/date night. 

I would pair this with the rest of the Sticky Dates range such as the Body Scrub, Shower Gel and Body Lotion that have been released earlier this year or maybe something like the Honey I Washed The Kids range. I would also be tempted to pair it with Cup O’ Coffee to create a sort of Sticky Toffee Latte situation. 

Will you be picking up any of the Summer Treats Body Sprays? What’s your favourite Body Spray from Lush? Let me know down below! 

Thanks for reading!
