by Lush
Dirty by Lush is a sharp, mint-forward body spray with a strong initial burst of fresh spearmint and aromatic herbal notes, leading into lavender and sandalwood. While the top notes are intensely effervescent and electric, the mint fades quickly, revealing a cleaner, more grounded dry down with herbal and woody depth. The scent is unisex and highly projected, giving it a vibrant, almost medicinal freshness that some find invigorating, while others describe as overwhelming, nausea-inducing, or reminiscent of a hospital or urinal. It performs best on clothing or as a room spray, where it lingers pleasantly and holds up without being too aggressive on skin. Longevity is moderate, with a noticeable clean finish that many describe as refreshing and mood-lifting. Despite its price-point being seen as fair to underpriced, it’s not recommended for those sensitive to mint or with strong body odors, as the scent interacts poorly with sweat and may amplify unpleasant odors in some individuals.
