Lush Lust is a hyper-realistic, intensely indolic jasmine fragrance that polarizes users with extreme reactions. It is described as a 'dirty, animalic, unapologetic' soliflore with no second thoughts. Many users describe it as overwhelming, with an initial blast that resembles mothballs, petroleum, or rancid floral decay, often causing nausea or headaches. Despite this, a significant number of users adore its raw authenticity, calling it 'the most realistic jasmine' they've ever encountered—evocative of crushed petals in humid summer heat. The scent is very long-lasting and projects intensely, making it suitable only for moments that demand attention. While some find it beautifully creamy and narcotic, others report unbearable chemical, plastic, or fecal notes. The reformulated version is less potent than the original, leading to nostalgic complaints. The scent is best used sparingly—on skin only, not clothing—as the red liquid stains. It appeals most to those who appreciate bold, unfiltered white florals and who wear perfume as an expression of confidence, not a subtle accent.
