Ladyboy B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful for men

I'm leaving this review here, as I understand that BNTBTBB was absorbed by LUSH and that the fragrances have remained the same. I recently purchased a sample set of LUSH frags on Ebay, simply because the history of this house was intriguing, along with the deliciously obtuse names of some of their frags. Being a drag artist, a frag named 'Ladyboy' piqued immediate interest and while it's a very interesting frag I probably won't be adding it to my collection anytime soon. There is no patchouli listed in the pyramid, but this stuff fairly reeks of it ... and I don't like patchouli when it's obvious in a frag. It's probably a combination of the violet and oakmoss ... *shivvvvveerrr* ... smells a little more 'grandpa' than 'vivacious tranny' to me. The banana up top (according to the LUSH site added as a joke) is undoubtedly there to bring to mind the bits of a 'ladyboy' that make her exactly that. I'm sure some would love this ... unfortunately not for me. In it's favour it has good sillage and longevity ...

This is scary/gorgeous/scary/gorgeous....the first hit is of candy banana in a really nasty cheap way..then it mellows into sweet banana with a gentle violet note..as with all BNTBTBB perfumes is is a very aquired taste and very lasting...a bit too much on first application, but live with it and you will learn to love it....

Yep, I could smell the banana in the top notes, as in Sira des Indes, a green and dry banana which dries down to the true violet note with a little earthiness. Nice to try, but I'm not sold on this one. Nice on a guy as more interesting than other masculines

Gosh. I don't get banana at all!
I've got the solid perfume and to me it is fresh and zesty limes or Lemonade. Maybe they have changed the flavor for the Gorilla Perfume version?
It also smells quite feminine and sweet. I can't imagine a male wearing this.
It fades pretty fast on me. It's not heady like a lot of the other Lush scents.

Of all the B Never perfumes I think this (And Dirty) are my least favourite. This is quite a bizzare concoction that starts out with a blast of banana, a kind of sharp fake banana might I add...

This dies down very quickly and I'm left with a very equal balance of violet and patchouli.
Drying further still this turns to almost all violet on me..which I like but..am not crazy about.

The violet and Patchouli is quite a nice combination but the banana is just a vert strange top note to put with these other things.

I prefer 1000 Kisses Deep MUCH more.

hmm this may be a men's cologne but i like it; it reminds me of when i used to mix violet oil and patchouli oil to wear. Maybe this will smell good on my fiance. :)

weird fragrance! I was so curious so I ordered a small decant to test it. I smell the banana right off the back LOL and then it transforms to a mix of patchouli? I smell alot of patchouli but I do not think that is a note here. Ok now a few seconds later I am sniffing my hand where i dabbed it and I can finally smell the violet. I love this!!!! I love how I can smell an individual note in stages. awesome stuff!

Totally delish, you'd think the bizzare notes of banana, violet and seaweed wouldn't work, but it's just like so fresh and it's transition from top notes to base notes is fantastic. I get soooo many compliments when I wear this!
