Smell of Weather Turning Lush for women and men

The Lush fragrance line deserves a lot of credit. It is cruelty free, earth friendly, well-crafted and incredibly cheap. If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and check out the line.

Based on the name, I expected TSOWT to be a straightforward ozonic in the mold of Acqua di Gio and its progeny. Instead, this fragrance is a somewhat gothic powerhouse of swirling smoke softened by tender notes of beeswax and chamomile.

The top note of mint conjures up nothing so much as a grove of eucalyptus trees. As the scent evolves, the wind gusts through the grove, bringing with it a vaguely disturbing burnt smell from forest fires nearby. The danger lingers until the rains come, washing away the cinders and bringing forth a delicate waft of grasses and flowers. Not the sort of scent you'd want to wear to the prom, but a great frag to wear for yourself and enjoy as a fab example of perfume as art.

I think I might love this. A lot more than I was expecting to. Upon first spray, all I get is smoke and mint, and I'm not even sure where the smoke is coming from. But as it settles down, the most beautiful hay and sun-drenched grass scent comes wafting up. The mint is still there, hanging at the back of your throat. The beeswax is sweet, a little creamy, but mostly it's just that lovely grass and hay and the tiniest hint of smoky mint.

I can see that this might not be everyone's cup of tea, or while some people might like this, they may not want to wear it. I personally just can't see anything wrong with smelling like this all day long. It makes me want to spritz myself all over and run around barefoot in a glade, soaking up the sun. Beautiful. (If it tells you anything about my scent preferences, I also love the Grass shower gel from Lush. I actually bought this hoping to find something like that. While it's not really similar, I love both scents.)

I wanted to love it, but to me this is more of a scented candle scent. It's not bad, but not really a body fragrance (at least on me). I get a lot of smoky tar and the green notes only really surface in the far dry down. Still, got to love Lush for making daring fragrances like this.

For a beautiful fresh green nature scent I would go for one of Hermes' Jardins.

I bought this on a whim after reading reviews and seeing the description. (I have the solid version, I'm in college and on a budget.) I normally like to smell things before I buy them, but I took the chance with this.

In the tube, it smells WEIRD. Like, humid hot days with unwashed people rolling in hay. I was so put off I didn't let it come near my skin. But I finally gave it a go maybe a month later.

I LOVE this perfume! It smells a bit odd when you first put it on but let it settle and it turns into a beautiful, woodsy, soft, natural sunshine smell. By the way Lush lovers, it pairs excellently with Grass shower gel. You smell like a wood sprite. I have gotten many compliments on this. But nobody can tell its a perfume. They all seem to think I naturally smell this good. Which is fine with me!

However, I tested it on a friend to prove how awesome it was and she smelled like sweat, hay and bit of smoke like she hung around a campfire. She found it unpleasant. So your chemistry may or may not work with this, but if it does, thank the gods, you've found an incredible perfume.

One of my favorites from Lush. On me it smells of hay and mint and then becomes more of an deep, soft and smokey oriental smell, takes me back to my childhood.

Wow. Let me just give a quick disclaimer: I adore notes of hay and chamomile. I love shipyard sawdust and tar. My grandmother used to let us chew on fresh mint leaves, from her garden, as a treat. I love "forest" scents -- earthy, ripe fruits and blooms, green, rotting wood, weird fungi -- so bear this in mind if choosing to blind buy a fragrance like "Smell of Weather Turning".

Now, onto this compelling scent. Have you ever been outdoors in deep summer, on a fairly humid day, maybe swimming or cooking on a grill by the sea? You know that strange, weather and temperature sensation, of a cool sunshower, suddenly falling in hot weather, only to have the sun emerge a very short time later, baking everything in steamy humidity? That sensation is captured in "Smell of The Weather Turning".

The sunshower passes to reveal the pungent, sweet freshness of hot hay, with a sprinkling of water on top, heating in the sun. Wet linens take on an almost sour, aquatic quality, as residue detergent is re-activiated by the water and the sun starts cooking them both. Water is still running out of fresh blooms, as the sun warms them again and swirls of faint smoke rise-up into the sun from a fire that was almost put-out from the rain. Everything seems crisp and in hyper-contrast, as greens smell deeper and greener and the wet hair on our heads warms in the sun. Clean, minty bursts mix with apple-like chamomile and running throughout the entire blend is a sweet, damp but hot, hay note.

The natural earthines of this scent is almost surreal and magical, like the smell of a time when forests were truly wild and primeval and fields the size of small countries, would be covered in burbling brooks, overgrowth, wildflowers and grasses, all baking in the sun. It sort of reminds me of scenes from the film "Legend", with magical shifts in weather and dreamy forestscapes covered in growth and populated with buzzing insects and chirping birds, singing besides waterfalls.

I love this scent. It is painfully and strangely beautiful. It's not for everyone to wear as a signature scent (although, I think it might fast become mine) but it is deserving of a try from any fragrance lover who appreciates the ability for a scent to conjure-up distinct images, experiences and places. This scent is definitely one of a kind.

This perfume sounded so interesting with the name and all - I really wanted to like it - but the solid perfume i tried smelled mostly like bug repellent on me. Probably something with the hay and chamomille together with the mint.
I think I expected something a bit more fresh, like the smell of morning dew in the pine trees, not a sour stack of hay... I prefer Lush's perfume Dirty over this one when it comes to minty notes. Lush is well worth a try, but as others suggest, give it a good try BEFORE you buy.

It's a bit weird heavy smell and I use it only when I am in the mood for it. Its kind of smoky, grassy, heavy and woody. Sometimes when I use it I feel that I can't breathe and it reminds me when you have weather before storm. The heavy, sweaty, hot air.

This is a strange and slightly disturbing fragrance ... for some reason it reminds me of the Dentist's waiting room when I was a kid, absolutely terrified of what might happen behind that closed door. Having said that ... I also find it totally intriguing ... go figure? The mint is very prevalent on my skin with an almost 'spearmint chewing gum' feel ... it's made rather languid and "mint julep-like' by the honey. Personally I would've liked a fresher wood like Cedar in this. I can definitely smell the oak here but it feels a little aged ... 'ripe' is a better word I suppose. I would probably wear this from time to time ... but I don't think I'd ever empty a full bottle. As with the other LUSH frags I have tried, the sillage and longevity are above average.

I just love this. It's very herbal and different. I can't stop sniffing my wrists.

Smells of something between burnt leaves and tires on a bonfire and the atmosphere scent just before a storm but when it settles down it tends to smell like a strong black tea leaf accord washed out with hay. Quite unusual and natural in a weird yet lovely way.
It is actually quite wearable if you like the strong herbal spirit of Dior Eau Noire or Comme des Garcons Series 1 Leaves Tea.
Try before buy!.
Lovely long lasting and projection!
