Lust Lush for women

After reading the notes, I assumed that I would love this. It smelled like burned popcorn kernels on my skin.

PSA: BUY THE SOLID VERSION. more concentrated. no leaking problems.
the scent......oh. my.god. it is absolutely incredible: bold, powerful, strong, energizing, sensual, girly, sweet,romantic,loud.......IT'S AMAZING.

On my skin, this is gasoline. That's it, just gasoline...there's absolutely nothing else that comes out or develops. And when I think about how I loved the description and couldn't wait to try it, omg. ;__;

Lust.

Dirty? Sweaty? Rotting? -- NOT EVEN CLOSE....Not on me or Not to my nose. (and there is zero play-dough or petrol or rubber to it)

Lust is quite nice. Its sweet, very floral. There is quite a bit of Jasmine, but also ROSE! I get a lot of compliments on this. Just the other day I was told: "you smell of floral delicious goodness, what are you wearing?"

It is almost equally intensive between the notes of Rose Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine. Since Jasmine is a heady note I can see why others detect more. IMO - I would say it is just slightly more intensive than ylang-ylang and rose but not much. They are fairly equal.

First spray is very floral - like you are a bouquet of flowers for sure. (It is the same floral scent you get when you are in a florists shop -- one with several different floral sprays to pick through and a large selection of roses to choose from.)

There is no rotting smell to me or on me - only intense floral. Nothing Indolic AT ALL. I will say it is quite intense but not like others have described it as a punch in the face. Will have to check in the summer when its warmer.

It also has that Lush store vanilla smell to it -- which settles the fragrance and is more pronounced over the floral notes in the dry down 9 hours later.


The color of the liquid is a orangey-RED! Do NOT spray on clothes it will stain them.

Oh boy, oh boy, where do I even begin? Well, perhaps I would like to comment on this smell of petrol/play doh/rubber etc that's been mentioned -- it IS there, but I think it's definitely the ylang-ylang. It's like a nice frame to the jasmine. I personally feel that the ylang-ylang is really what does IT for this perfume; it's girly sweet and overly pretty jasmine with a "petrol" edge. Like a girl who might seem clueless and cute, but actually knows exactly what she's doing and loves getting her hands dirty.

Ooh, I'm swooning! If you like Fracas and Truth or Dare, this will probably please your nostrils, too. I never want to run out of this.

Finally, someone managed to bottle the scent of freshly bloomed white jasmines in a perfume! The jasmines dominate the perfume, I can't really smell the roses and the sandalwood though. I'm not complaining, this is what jasmines supposed to smell like.
Edit: I sprayed a couple of spritzes this morning and I can still smell it now 10 hours later, although it's more subdued. On the first spritz I could smell a massive whiff of petrol! I don't mind because I love the smell of petrol. Dirty jasmine perfume indeed! I can imagine a female femme fatale-outlaw driving her car at 200km/h getting away from the police for the sheer kicks of it! Feminine yet bold and daring. Naked jasmine scent without the fancy 'frocks' (e.g other fragrance notes) to control its potency. Well done Lush!

If you love the jasmine scents from Lush, this one is for you, since it's essentially Flying Fox as a perfume. Beware, it is quite strong! It's almost pure, sharp jasmine, and almost has a sort of tart quality. Personally, I love it, and find it very cooling and refreshing. Unfortunately, others have called this fragrance weird, or they say, "Hey, what smells like Lysol?" Ugh... Some folks will never understand. Wear with caution.

The small stick atomizer is great for saving space, but it leaked all over the inside of my makeup bag. :( So much for taking it with me... but I honestly don't need to, since it is so strong.

This is such a beautifully sensual, feminine jasmine perfume that lasts about 7-8 hours on my skin, which is good enough for me. I wear a different perfume every day but my boyfriend likes this one the best. It just smells so pretty and feminine.

I don't find this fragrance to be particularly strong-it's not exactly mild, that's true, but it's very far from being overpowering. I apply only a tiny amount on my neck and wrists and I smell amazing the whole day.

Once I was in thailand and I got me a foot massage. The massagist had an oil that smelled exactly like this. Therefore Lush Lust immediately reminds me of thailand.

It also has a very plasticky vibe to it, which is quiet nice. I think the first few hours are actually very good with that sexy raw jasmine paired with green tea but as they have vanished all that is left is indole... and this indole phase lasts and lasts forever. It smelled so strong of of that chemical-ish feces that I tried to wash it off but it wouldnt go.

The very first hours are pleasant (7/10) but it turns into that indole abomination which to me smells like chemical waste so that's 0/10 because it makes this perfume unwearable.

Sillage and longevity are indeed good 9/10

TM's Alien is very similiar to this with that beautiful jasmine but it smells much more elegant, refined and doesn't posses that vile indole.

I wasn't sure about this one until about the 3rd or 4th time I wore it. It got the reaction I wanted from my husband so I will definitely be wearing this more often!!
It is very strong at first ( use only one spray/squirt/dab) but after a couple hours it tones down and you are left with very sexy smelling jasmine and vanilla notes. My husband says it smells like Oolong tea and he really likes it, but only after a couple hours.. cuz it's soooo strong at first!

I tried this a while ago and liked it, but I wasn't sure I could pull off something so obviously flowery (not that I have any problem wearing "female" fragrances -- a well constructed scent is a well constructed scent, after all). But I think what makes this special is just how dirty is really is. On me, there's a definite gasoline note that comes through and neutralizes the force of the jasmine, making it an interesting fragrance to wear simply because of its idiosyncrasy.

If you're looking for a standard floral fragrance, this isn't it. But if you're interested in fragrances that stand alone from the crowd, this might be up your alley. People who dig something like Fahrenheit for this same reason might want to take a look at this.

As others have mentioned, it's ridiculously strong -- definitely one to spray a mist and run through rather than put directly onto the skin.

Lush can be very hit or miss with their craziness, but this one works well for me.

The best dirty jasmine out there. Not for you if you don't like heavy white florals or indolic scents. Very strong. Smells like crushed flowers that were left out in the summer sun a few hours on a humid day, so sweet they are past their prime and starting to rot. If you like that quality of white florals, buy this and don't worry about ever trying to find a perfect jasmine again, because this is it. If you don't like that overwhelming lushness - so lush it is starting to suffocate you, so lush it's starting to decompose -- then this is definitely not for you. This is not a gentle, well maybe it'll grow on you sort of jasmine. You'll know first whiff if you love it or you hate it. Try in store before buying.

This is a sweaty, hot tryst in a jasmine garden. It is rich and intensely jasmine-y, with a woody, humid undertone. I used to live in a coastal part of Texas, where we'd get intensely humid, hot summers. My mother had a trellis of jasmine that I'd play under as a kid. This perfume is that smell: steamy air, strong jasmine with a woody, dirty undertone. It's very much a bold scent, and if you're a shy, delicate type, I'd avoid it. Thi perfume is a monster. It attacks you, ensnares you and sinks its teeth in. Best of luck forgetting the smell if you don't like it, best of luck living without it if you love it. It's a gorgeous, heady, carnal attack on the nose and I wouldn't have it any other way.

This is a gorilla of Jasmine. Your reaction will be based on how much jasmine you can handle. Personally I love it, but it does make you feel like a giant ape has hit you in the face with a brick wrapped in white floral. Something similar but less in-your-face would be The Body Shop's Jasmine & Neroli.

If you really love the scent of jasmine, you should buy nothing but this one. It's not like the other chemical and heavy jasmine fragrances which is claimed that there is jasmine in them. When I smell it ı feel like ı am smelling a boquet of jasmine which is just smashed and put in a bottle.

I was inside my car with my husband one day when he mumbled what's this wonderful smell? Then he looked at me and: "Hey, that's you!" - I call this the LUST effect ;)

Lust is the most wickedly natural, seductive, yet elegant and comforting scent I'll never get tired of.
On daily basis, i use the solid perfume and on my skin, the scent lingers from shower to shower.
I have it in solid, spray, and shower gel (the flying fox). Absolutely in love!

lovely scent but poor packaging

I love this stuff...it's not expensive and soo good. I have it as the solid perfume...beware the red dye...it can make a mess out of light coloured clothes. This perfume has one heck of a power kick, not for the faint hearted. Very little is needed, so use a light hand. This is a true jasmine absolute...delicate, powerful, sexual, alluring and it is all entwined with ylang ylang, vanilla, sandalwood, rose...

If your skin can't take the power houses get out of the fragrance kitchen. A dominant scent, for a dominant woman...

It's so good it's pure evil, but in the best possible way. One spray grabs hold of you and anything within a few feet and keeps you prisoner for hours. It lives up to it's name and it's make perfectly...... Lush Lust in a bottle. Watch out world - I'm coming for you!
I have to admit the first spray is almost too much, but after a short while the jasmine takes over and stays with you. It somehow has a darkness which intrigues.
As another reviewer said - not for the faint hearted but I can't wait to spray this as a base and see what other perfumes I can add as a top layer and then stand back and wait for the consequences!

We had a star Jasmine vine growing up just behind the vegtable garden. This is the closet thing to how that flower smelled in the evening. Full, bitter flowers and dirt. Most people seem to be disgusted by the smell but it is so beautiful and bright white to me. I love jasmine tea, cultivate the flolwers and adore this purfume.

I actually LOVE this solid perfume. My favorite out of all the other ones.

While I'd love to love it, melia is right, there's a weird soapy/play-dohy smell to it, which gets worse in the soap. It's one of the best and richest jasmine/honeys I've found, but there's something in the back that just isn't right. I think the base note doesn't get low enough to ground it.

Indolic, animalic - you will love it or hate it, but there's absolutely no middle ground with this one.

Imagine that you've just returned home from a five-week trip, only to find that you forgot to throw away the flowers in your vase before you left. To me, Lust smells just like the water in that vase when you pour it out into the sink. (Been there, done that...)

Rotten florals mixed with really bad breath and quite a bit of sweat is what I get from this. There is actually a hint of jasmine in there too, but it's completely overpowered by the dirtyness. This one is not for me.

It's very, very close to true jasmine - but it isn't. There's definitely some other note in there, not sure what it is, but it throws it off from being true jasmine. It's very heavy, very strong, very sultry. I love this, but I don't really wear it, and it's not as jasmine as I would have liked.

Dirty, sexual, and I love it. A sensual, heated romp on top of crushed jasmine petals. Incredibly naughty yet strangely comforting.

I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this. I don't even like jasmine! Way too strong for me.

i love the way this smells! it reminds me of crushed petals, that almost rotten sweetness. delicious! however, i can't wear it because anything it touches is permanently dyed red. i don't know what moron thought permanent red dye in something you spray on your clothes was a good idea, but lush has officially lost all my business, and i would like a refund for my ruined shirts! from love to hate lush, from love to hate!

Oh Dear! This label should come with a yield sign. I know I advertise that I love "the hard stuff" but this is ruthless! Whew, the power of this fragrance almost blinded me. I think I will have to re-test with a pin drop amount or add this to my bath water to appreciate it. This is loud, almost sickening sweet over the top jasmine.
The scent itself is very pretty and I would love it toned down a little.

I’m a guy. I love this and I don't care.

Reminds of an exquisite Indian jasmine incense that I used to burn, however much more complex than that.

Very sexy indeed. But smells very natural too.

Wow this is a gorgeous sparkling jasmine tea like scent and i dont even like fragrances that are predominantly jasmine based with the indoles - yuk!

This review if for the solid stick and i adore this scent which lasts all night on me. Incredible for a solid perfume that cost me only £5 and more sillage than my expensive fragrances!!

The red colour has been toned down so i have no problem with staining.

This is just ridiculously strong. Jasmine amped up to amounts that even Alien (Thierry Mugler) would be ashamed of.
It also is a true jasmine, I get none of the "green tea with jasmine" some seem to be getting. No, I get the scent of a true jasmine flower in the night, heavy, creamy, indolic. That scent, intensified a hundred times or more, that's Lust.
As calyx93 mentioned, it does smell like gasoline. Gasoline, hot asphalt and jasmine.
It almost stinks. And I'm absolutely in love with it.
I have the solid perfume version. It sits there innocent in it's simple black packaging, but when opened, it transforms into a succubus, full of, well, lust.
I feel that if I'd have this in liquid form, I wouldn't be able to control the amount of perfume as well as I can with solid. So it might become quite overpowering.

Incredible skanky, mothball-ish, rich, almost gasoline-like jasmine with a bit of vanilla - I hope it NEVER changes.

I love the scent, but it is way too strong. I tested it in a Lush-Store and my boyfriend and me got a headache. Sad.

I already wrote my review (below) but I wanted to add that if you appreciate the scent of this fragrance but it's just way too strong, you will really appreciate Lush's golden dusting powder called "Lustre". Get it? lol It is a gorgeous, shimmering gold powder with the scent of Lust. It's a much more manageable and easier way to wear this overbearing scent. If you dust on the powder, your skin looks gorgeous and the amount of scent is comparable to that of a "normal" fragrance. I highly recommend it!

I ordered several samples from Lush quite some time ago, but when they arrived I found that one (or more?) of the vials had leaked, leaving dark red stains all over the inside of the cellophane bag in which the vials were wrapped and also all over the inside of the small box in which they were put to prevent damage. Clearly they need to work on their packaging strategy, but I also wonder about the color of a couple of these perfumes. It does not inspire confidence in the claim of all-natural creations that they should be empirically indistinguishable from Red Dye no 5. I am serious: the color of LUST and also of TUCA TUCA is identical to that of a bottle of red food coloring.

Now, having finally mustered up the courage to give these perfumes a good sniff, I am happy to report, first, that they did not degrade over the year when they sat untouched in the box in which they arrived, so that's the first clue that the perfumes are made of decent ingredients. The second and more important clue is that these perfumes really do smell pretty good, against all of my negative expectations instilled not only by the shoddy packaging and the gaudy colors but also my sole visit to a Lush store, which lasted all of two minutes before I ran out in horror.

Let's just say that in-store testing of this brand is likely to be an exercise in futility. Overly perfumed soaps abound, along with God knows what else, and they all come in wild colors and patterns and it's all quite overwhelming in the end. For me it was serious sensory overload. The final deterrent to taking this brand seriously was the ridiculous newspaper catalogue they send out to me periodically, in which all sorts of apparently hippie-era products are being advertised in some pretty over-the-top prose by the Lush zealots, all of whom appear to be "linked in" to drug culture.

Never judge a book by its cover or a perfume by its bottle or a company by its insane concept and marketing. Lush LUST offers a big-time blast of gorgeous and glorious jasmine. This is no joke: you must LOVE jasmine in order to be able to wear LUST. My dab-on sample vial produces a voluminous cloud of jasmine which appears to extend about a meter outward in all directions. A few other flowers have been thrown into the mix, but this is mostly about Jasmine with a capital 'J'. The jasmine is strong but not overly indolic, to my nose. This is nothing like Creed JASMAL, which is more indoles than flowers, and hence unwearable by me.

I would describe the feminine perfumes of this line as gooey. There is something messy and primitive about them but at the same time very appealing because they smell so natural. I believe Lush when they say that they mix these elixirs up in a kitchen-like laboratory. Their perfumes really do have a hand-made quality to them. I'm sure that some people who wear a lot of refined, genteel niche perfumes would be put off by the intensity of these creations, but I think that they might very well appeal to those who like the perfumes of Serge Lutens. Intense is the key word, and if you adore jasmine, this is a must try and probably even a safe blind buy, given the modest price.

I have small sample bottle.. but will definitely buy bigger one once... beautiful scent..

Lust is definitely one of Lush's signature fragrances - if you've ever been in a Lush store, you've probably smelled it, although there's so many scents in there that you wouldn't know it until you brought the perfume home. Anyway, definitely try this at home before you come to any conclusions.

This is a powerhouse fragrance - a heady tea jasmine pretty much through and through. Vanilla and sandalwood never really make an appearance for me. Staying power is excellent; after 5-6 hours, I still catch whiffs of it on me throughout, and I'm sure other people can smell it as well (I tend to get a bit anosmic with my own perfume). I've grown to really like this fragrance, but I've got to be in the mood for a heavy jasmine and it can be a bit stifling when it's too hot. Under the wrong conditions, Lust can definitely induce some headaches. (...there's a joke in there somewhere.)

Use a light hand when applying. When I dabbed the fragrance oil on, my sister smelled it from the other side of the house. She said the whole house smelled different, but not in a bad way. (And then she expressed a desire to eat my perfume. Hm.)

Despite it's name, I don't get "sexy" from Lust. It reminds me of crisp summer nights and jasmine in bloom. Wonderful.

I have the solid stick scent and WOW it's strong! It's in-between spicy and musky. Its doesn't last very well on the skin and because it's red it leaves red marks on your skin :/

WOW! Totally VA VA VOOM of a jasmine scent! Definitely not for the faint hearted! I love this perfume. Super sexy indeed!!!

I love it. And cruelty free fragrances smell so much better.

Naphthalene! I couldn't believe my nose. 20 minutes later comes the raw jasmine, very indolic indeed. This was a torture for me. I respect those, who can wear it.

What a silage monster if you don't like Jasmine stay away if you do then you are in for a treat! This delivered on many levels top marks for silage and longevity, top marks for price. The perfume itself is heady, powdery, dark, and spicy with almost the bite of a strong lemon. A spray or two is all you need and no it's not refined I wouldn't say complex either but it is a whopping big hunk of Jasmine for your money. If you lean towards oils and exotic darker perfumes then this should be something you will love.

Smokey Jasmine, dark, dark, dark. It doesn't smell like Habanita but has the same 'smokey' quality to it. I love it but am absolutely a fan of the stronger, darker scents. It's very spicy when first sprayed but dries down fairly quickly into a dusky jasmine and sandalwood scent. It's not for the faint hearted so if you are a bit Queen of Gothika with a penchant for heavier perfumes, it's probably for you. It's definitely for me.

I was laughing at one of the previous post's and nodding in agreement. Seriously, this scent "takes no prisoners"!! It is like a sultry, deep, heady, almost powdery and smokey, enveloping, cloud of jasmine that you can smell from miles away. Kinda reminds me of the power of Guerlain's Insolence. It doesn't smell like it, but it has that power and that ability to wrap itself around every inch of you. Sillage monster!!!! If you do not LOVE LOVE LOVE jasmine, stay away. This is a jasmine smoke bomb. Really gorgeous in small quantities, but don't overdo it. Also, this is a very unique scent (like all of Lush's scents) which is always nice.

If Lust is your favourite night perfume then Joy by Jean Patou would be it's daytime equivilant :)

EVERYBODY TRY THIS!!!!

I stated I felt Lust needed a hint of sweetness and suggested trying mixing it with Vanillary.

I dont have Vanillary but tried one spray Lust and one spray Silky Underwear (similar to Vanillary) and it smells absolutely divine. I would put it on par as my favourite perfume ever, along with Karma (maybe even better) and definately would wear it out clubbing.

:)

I love everything about it, I love that it is overpowering and takes no prisoners, I love that you can smell it for hours after applying it, I love that it is dirty, sexy and seductive. I will be wearing it day and night because i love how it smells on me and I love the idea of smelling of Lust!

I wanted to but this because of the claims of being strong and sexy for night time use.

Upon first spray I sprayed it on my chest and I could taste it in the back of my throat (just one squirt)

It smelt like zoflora and old ladies heavily floral scent for about an hour.

When it settles it does smell nice and sexy. Very much like Poison smelt in the 80's. I don't see this being worn out clubbing but for a romantic meal for two or a sexy night in :)

Very nice when settles so put on a good hour before you go out and maybe best behind your knees rather than close to your nose.

Different, Sexy and mysterious. I think too floral for clubbing.

I think a hint of Sweetness would make this better (more Vanilla maybe) I may try mixing it with vanillary?

I love different perfumes. I am not thinking wow this is amazing but I will wear it when I want to feel sexy and intimate.

Simply ravishing. Lust is for people who are serious about their jasmine. Tiny bottle, but definitely packs a punch. Like others have said, Lust is bags and bags of jasmine tea brewing in your house. Heavy, thick and intoxicating brewed jasmine. A sweet but faint note lingers in the background, like drizzled honey in the tea. If you are familiar with the Lush line, it smells closely to Godiva rather than Flying Foxes, though both scents are almost identical they are more like sisters to me. Flying Foxes has more honey,which I would have like to seen in Lust. One spritz is enough and two spritzes on me, is overkill. Last all day 6+ hours. I prefer to wear it at night on my chest, and in the day below the knee. Confident, gorgeous and most definitely lusty.

i have to somewhat agree with Habanita, she and i both noted something peculiar, maybe just "signature" about the whole Lush package. it did not seem to offend me as much, but i had to ask the sales gal, "WHAT is that smell again?!" FORTUANTELY Lust did NOT have that same underlying mysterious herbal thing going on, and it is sweet, heady, not as powdery, but altogether something strong and in-you-face sensuous.

this one is DEF a commitment, on the behalf of the wearer. the silage is awesome and it refuses to move until you move it. in other words, you might have to bathe to get this one off. even after you spray and sleep all night, you awake to the same fragrance you had gotten sick of the whole day before. it's not that it's horrible, i just think sometimes when a perfume wears down it can be a huge blessing. i bought it, and will wear it, but not everyday.

Jasmine is great, Horst R. founder of Intellegent Nutrients wears it and showcases it in his line and it is wonderful. much more expensive, but it also doesn't say "fragrance (oil)" on his label, his is 100% natural carrier oils and pure jasmine only, hence the wicked price tag. LUSH likes to blend essentials with synthetics, which is sure to boost the lasting power of any fragrance and dampen the price tag. for the price, it's fine.

I have my old flying fox temple balm on one hand and lust solid perfume on the other. Allowing for the age of the temple balm, I would still say it is a gentler creature, while the perfume has more kick to it and needs to be handled with more caution. Both honeyed jasmine overload, though. Good thing that I prefer rich, dirty and dangerous to pretty, clean and safe. Fabulous value for money.

Amazing, a work of art for jasmine lovers. Do not seek out this perfume expecting an everyday-type scent! This is for special occasions, going out to the clubs when you want to feel SEXY and absolutely intoxicating. I've never smelled anything like this. Be careful though, if you apply too much you can taste it in your mouth! Use sparingly and it will last you forever!

This was so strong and harsh like the complete line today to me. I didn't want to test anymore scents after 4 totally flopped. To me they all had the same strong and ugly main dominant note. Have they all gone bad or what was wrong?

finally got into a lush store and bought another godiva shampoo bar, flying fox wash, and this lust solid which smell (to me) exactly the same. very strong, deep scent of jasmine, sandalwood, and ylang ylang coming through which lasts for days. i absolutely love it's dark, almost witchy aromas. it is definitely an acquired taste - if you don't already love those main notes, you probably won't like this at all. but overall it's very natural and calming.
;)

I have been a huge fan of Lush since I've discovered it. This was a temple balm a before it became a perfume, and i definitely like the balm more. It is (well,was) very tender, and you could control the amount you applied. Whereas now, with the atomizer and bottle, the consentration of oil is very high and you can really overdo it.

The bottle and atomizer are total killers. Both of them leak, leak, and than leak again. And the solid perfume is hell - RED HELL. Grrrrrrr!! :@

Now about the fragrance itself. It's an aphrodisiac bomb. And CandyPerfumeGirl was totally right: people either love it or hate it.. All the guy friends I have love This :) But be careful because everyone has different noses (haha I just made up a new phrase)

Scent: 10/10 - I love it
Bottle (stick): 0/10 - horrible...

It's weird in a good way. Kind of addicting once you get used to it.

Not sure about this one! Bought it on vacation on a whim and now I'm having second thoughts. First of all the bottle is horrible I placed it in my suitcase and it spilled quite a bit of perfume causing the black outer part of the the bottle that I guess is painted black to peel off. To make things worse at my aunt's house she was using a scented oil for the house that smelled exactly like this one. This is a dark juice that is more like a seductive potion. Lots of jasmine perhaps too much??. The staying power is amazing in this one. More for formal nights out. Will consider using in the winter to see how it reacts with my chemistry.

At the first time when I had luck to try this essence I was a little bit affraid, because I didn't want to get headache from the strong jasmine smell. So I just applied with light hand.:)But I cannot imagine what might have happened if I use this as a "normal" perfume.:)

She's the Black Widow!!:)

Extremly sweet jasmine aroma softened with sandalwood and vanilla. First this essence is freshly energetic jasmine note with some ginger nuance, very stimulant, like the cool jasmine tea. But. After this dynamic opening the jasmin begin to grew on me cruelly and unmercifully. Sandalwood and vanilla dampening down this almost intolerable, strong, sweet jasmin smell.
The final act is a dusty, Lush-like,longlasting, earthy, sweet jasmine odor what is just insidiously merges under your skin. Intoxicating, stifling infusion..
So...Lust is just unnoticable enmesh you and just waiting until you get drowned...

She a serious killer, so be careful with her!!:)

This fragrance transported me to an old museum's storage where She lives lonely in the dark....and She just waiting...and waiting...:)

I've heard left & right that this is the Lush/Gorilla scent that will get attention in public. While I believe every word I've heard, on me it's just yuck. Doesn't work w/my chemistry. And I'm not sure I like anything called LUST anyway.

This is the scent to wear when you want attention. Wear it when going clubbing, out with friends for a long night, or an important romantic event. Even so, use sparingly. I emphasize this enough. This is so potent the it will be making you and others cough if you apply too much. This is the strongest, boldest jasmine scent you'll experience.

This one is very rich. As many Lush perfumes are.
I didn't like it at first but it is a grower. It is like the Godiva Lush Shampoo Bar, or an over-brewed Jasmine tea.
It has a mature, warm, cozy orangy feel to it.
An Autumnal/Wintery scent for afternoons/evenings.

Lust...a tricky one. I understand that people have something against this perfume, since it is very heady, strong and sharp. But i personally LOVE this composition, to me, it is an incredibly sexy Jasmine composition. I love that it settles into a strong Jasmine.
You really have to watch the amount you spray on though..ONE little spray is truly enough for hours..at least if you don't want people to start coughing next to you in the tram (yes i had that the first time i ignorantly prayed on the perfume and went to work)
And another downpoint, the perfume is red and stains!
I knew that the solid perfume stained clothing, but when i started to find these 'unidentified' small red specs on my tops (i assumed i might had been eating strawberries a little too enthusiastic), i tested it!
Still really wish that Lush would make a perfume out of Flying Fox (Jasmine and honey...yum!) or Godiva..
That would end my quest for the perfect Jasmine perfume.

My goodness ! what was Mark Constantine doing dreaming up this fragrance, must be the worse ever.A friend passed this on to me to try (some friend lol)
Smells like road works when the guys are tarmacing the roads,wonder if Mark C was ever a construction worker? I thought it might get better with time, but alas after an hour had to wash it off, vigorously!.I can see why she passed it on!
Please make sure you try befor you buy.

Wow, was this ever not what I was expecting. Top notes (on me): overripe bananas and burnt rubber, after about an hour I was getting something very akin to mothballs, and now, after an hour, I'm finally getting hints of jasmine. No rose, ylang-ylang, sandalwood or vanilla for me. I think this one's a no-go.

Would like to put in a shameless plug for the gorilla perfume samples currently available at the LUSH shops (and possibly online). The price in the US is around 20 USD, and for that price you get samples of all the gorilla perfumes that are large enough for several tries. Well worth the investment before you buy the full-size bottles.

i like GODIVA shampoo bar, i like flying fox shower gel, and yes how can i not get one bottle of this, since i love the smell, i dun mind it is strong

(SOLID VERSION) Depending on when you ask me if I like this one or not you'll get a different answer. A heavy green tea jasmine scent that's really OUT THERE, so apply lightly. Right after application it does smell a bit stale and strange, almost soap like, but it calms down after an hour or so. If I wore this in the summer I guess I'd puke, but for sunny spring mornings or during crisp autumn weather it smells comforting and makes me happy. Well, if I'm in the right mood for it.

My only serious con is the colour. Why the he** is it red? It stains my pale skin if I don't rub it in really well. That's just sooo unnecessary..

You'll either love this or dislike it and sometimes you'll probably have to be in the right mood for it. Lust shares the exact same fragrance as the Lush Flying Fox shower gel, which has been specially formulated to help women who suffer with PMS. Its true that the last time I had PMS myself, I was craving this scent!!! It was so wonderful to inhale and made me feel better. Most of the time, however, I find it too sweet and overpowering and wouldn't wear it, although I do still like it. The perfume itself is very strong, will last all day and still stays on your skin if you try and wash it off several times!!! The smell is indeed jasmine, with lots of honey! Very sweet, but there's also something 'dirty' about it when it settles.

I ordered this online (as well as ‘The Smell Of Weather Turning’ which is amazing) and my bottle had leaked a bit so everything in my package smelt like it. I had it in perfume quarantine out on my mantelpiece and my room smelt like jasmine for three weeks. This thing has an incredible throw.

I feel like i can only pull it off on my vampy/ gothish nights out on the town when i want to turn heads.

Its definitely a ‘tea’ jasmine as apposed to a ‘flower’ jasmine.

I got an atomiser of this in a goody bag when my local Lush reopened (the Gorilla fragrances had just been launched). I would usually avoid anything with jasmine in - I don't like heavy/indolic fragrances - but I gave this one a go. It's very strong and sweet. If you've ever had iced jasmine green tea from a Chinese supermarket or in a restaurant, that's the smell! My mother and brother both commented that it smelt just like it. It's pretty linear and softens with time, doesn't become heavy or woody.

It is pretty nice when it warms on your skin, provided you don't put too much on (I find one spray on the stomach is plenty, but I also don't wear perfume much). Try if you like sweet, confident and girly smells, avoid if you prefer sharp, fresh or woody ones.

Just recieved one of Lush's "gorilla perfume" sticks in Lust as a gift. Put some on 8 hrs ago, and still can't decide how I feel about it. I love Lush's Karma, & the solid perfume version of Honey I Washed the Kids, so I was hoping to love this as well, but it is STRONG!!! An incredibly heady(or overpowering if you don't like) rush of jasmine, to the degree of not fading a bit, even 7 hrs later, and actually seeming to intensify(!!!) after I tried washing my wrists! And yet, I can't say I DISlike it. If I do wear it again, I will be scrupulously light-handed with it. Confused...

PS-I absolutely love the sturdy little "stick" atomizer. Perfect for throwing in my purse, and not worrying that it will break or discharge accidentally.

I tested this one in the shop today. Man, it was the first time ever I laughed out so loud while trying anything...

Do you know this odour (I can not even call it a smell) of flowers when they sit for way too long in a vase? When they slowly starrt rotting, and the water starts smell quite specifically? I often smelled it at cementaries, when we were emptying the vases of old flowers and were putting some fresh ones in. And this is how Lust smells. I am not by all means saying it smells of cementary, but it gives an impression of something mauldy, stuffy, unpleasant. Decomposing jasmine and rose, that's how much I got.

LUST smells just like strong green tea and jasmine to me. With some sweetness. Unapologetically unique, most LUSH fragrances are. I adore their fragrances, and this is definitely a new star. Love or hate, as always with LUSH. :) I admire the company tremendously for not creating middle of the road, watered down "modern" fragrances and of course for being cruelty-free. LUST smells niche, unique and personal, but priced more sensibly.

it's smells like vice and sex and cigarets

Amazing scent!! as a true Jasmine lover, this is my Jasmine fragrance!
It starts really spicy, but the overal note of sweet Jasmine comes out after a while and stays till the end.
I wanted a true Jasmine perfume, without too many other ingredients, the feeling of walking past a full blooming Jasmine bush on a sticky hot night...
It makes you feel sexy, but beware of how much you spray, the perfume is really strong, and stays on for hours...which i love, but can be overwelming to others!
I am still waiting for the day they make a perfume out of Lush Flying Fox thought...

Extremely seductive and dangerously strong (great if you love it, bad if there's someone close to you who hates it.) It's definitely a night scent, something you might wear out with your boy/girlfriend (NOT on a first date however, because as mentioned before, the perfume is so prominent it could put someone off - best to test the waters with something safer [i.e. something subtler] first.) It's not quite as 'jasmine' as I would have liked; there's a very strong spicy (and if you experience synesthesia, 'red') note that I can't quite put my finger on, possibly the sandalwood in the composition. My father can't stand it, and can smell it from the kitchen even when I've sprayed it upstairs in my bedroom. One of my girlfriends was walking towards me from her house, she stopped and went 'Ohh, it’s YOU!' - yep, she'd smelt it from up the street! Really, to get a true idea of this perfume, you have to smell it for yourself, but BEWARE - stains clothing a red colour and lingers on fabrics.

This is the most powerful jasmine I've ever smelled.
Very indolic.
For me way too strong.
But I think this is just how they are, the Lush.
Really don't have more to say about it.

Beware: this perfume will fall in the section 'weird smell'. It is creamy, but it has also this play-doh fibe to it. A perfume which confuses you. Is it lust, or something else? Definitely not a simple crowd pleaser; not that people will hate it, it's just that they won't understand it. Neither will I. Try it yourself.
