Flower's Barrow
by Lush
Flower's Barrow by Lush is a distinctive, herbal-floral fragrance centered around geranium, with strong notes of rose, blackcurrant, thyme, and sage. It opens with a vibrant, green, and slightly pungent burst that feels fresh and earthy—like walking through a sunlit garden filled with wild herbs. The scent evolves into a layered, aromatic composition where geranium dominates but is balanced by the subtle sweetness of blackcurrant and a soft, chamomile-like undercurrent. Some wearers describe it as nostalgic, evoking memories of grandmothers' gardens or vintage homes, while others find it moody and introspective—almost gothic in its depth. The sillage is moderate, rarely overwhelming, making it suitable for daytime wear. Despite some reports of it being too herbal or too sweet on certain skin types, it gains complexity over time, revealing depth and indirect sweetness that avoids cloying gourmand qualities. Its longevity is moderate to long, with a dry-down that often lingers as a soft, slightly sweet herbal floral trail.

- +Has a unique, evolving character that feels poetic and atmospheric, conjuring scenes of English countryside or vintage gardens.

- −Lacks a spray applicator in the bottle, requiring customers to buy their own rather than receiving a ready-to-use option.
