by Lush
Grass by Lush delivers a photorealistic portrayal of freshly cut grass, opening with a bright, astringent burst of green, herbal, and oily notes that capture the essence of dewy lawn clippings. This initial phase is fleeting, giving way to a deeper, woody, and smoky base that evolves into a warm, slightly musky, and earthy dry down. The fragrance features a subtle floral hint from violet and a touch of neroli, adding complexity without overwhelming the green character. The evolution from sharp, green freshness to a textured, smoky woody base gives it dimension and longevity, with most wearers noting at least moderate performance throughout the day. It is clearly unisex, with no gendered associations, and is best suited for warm weather, particularly spring and summer, aligning with daytime wear. While the grass note is vivid in the opening, it diminishes quickly, leading to a more abstract, gentle green scent that some associate with Shalimar due to its woody, sweet, and smoky profile. Despite this shift, the scent remains grounded in its herbal core, making it ideal for those who appreciate a natural, unobtrusive green perfume with an earthy depth. It performs well in a casual or outdoor setting, lacking bold sillage but offering a subtle presence that lingers on skin and clothing.
