by Lush
Lush Karma is a strikingly unique unisex fragrance that blends vibrant citrus, aromatic herbs, and earthy patchouli into a bold, aromatic experience. It opens with a bright, fizzy blend of orange, lemon, and lemongrass, giving way to refreshing pine and lavender notes that lend a fresh, herbal quality. The heart of the scent is deeply rooted in warm patchouli and resinous woods—fir, elemi—giving it a grounding, almost incense-like depth. The drydown is rich and spicy, with gourmand-like sweetness from cinnamon and sweetened woods, creating a cozy, meditative aura. It's not subtle—its presence is strong and distinctive, like walking into an old-world head shop or a cozy naturalist’s retreat. While some find it too intense or reminiscent of cleaning products, many describe it as uplifting, warm, and deeply personal, evoking feelings of joy, wanderlust, and spiritual connection. Its longevity and sillage are moderate to strong, making it ideal for personal wear rather than shared spaces. The fragrance is most loved by those who appreciate natural, uncompromising scents and don't mind a bold, personality-driven aroma.
