Superworld Unknown Lush for women and men

I don't even understand how I got the smell of my Strawberry shortcake dolls of times past, but I did!! Strangest thing.

Someone else said that it smells of plastic or rubber when it's hot... maybe this is why?

This is quite pleasant, very interesting in the beginning, and then it settles into a nice complex blend. I can see an outdoorsy person pulling this off very well, or a slighlty artistic personality... I would not call this a vanilla scent and some people might be disappointed at the lack of vanilla. Citrus, benzoin, cypress is what this is all about and a touch of raw cacao. Florals are in the background.

I will have to wear this again and again in order to review it properly as it is, hmmm... supercrazyconfusing.

Smells exactly like avon's soft pink bubble bath.

No other description required :)

Lush SUPERWORLDUNKNOWN has the same strong citrus oil facet as most of the other perfumes of this line. Fortunately, it is tempered and tamed here by the presence of sweet notes, including cocoa, but also tonka or vanilla, it seems to me. These sweet elements help to smooth out the rough edges of the citrus oil, which I personally find pretty difficult to wear as a straight-up perfume. I have a large sample set of the Lush perfumes which I've been slowly meandering through, trying to be as fair to them as possible in reviews, but I have to confess that I only test them when I have a bath on the horizon. They're just too intense!

Never one to complain about excellent longevity and mega-sillage, the problem I find with the Lush citrus oils and base is that they seep into one's pores and all the way into the marrow of one's bones. Well, that's how they feel anyway. In my experience, the only other house with perfumes as penetrating as these may be Serge Lutens. My sense, however, is that the Lutens perfumes have been much more thoughtfully composed. It may be that I am prejudiced against this whole flurry of 2010-2011 Lush multi-launches, but I do find them pretty difficult to take seriously as perfumes. To be perfectly frank (quoi d'autre?) I am not even impressed with the alleged masterpiece of this house, BREATH OF GOD, and I felt vindicated somewhat to learn that it was the perfumer's very first perfume! Well, that's another story...

Back to SUPERWORLDUNKNOWN. Here we have the Lush base plus the Lush citrus accords with their usual frontal assault on olfactory receptors, but then the cocoa-tonka (or whatever) sweeps in like a deus ex machina to save the whole composition from disaster by muting the nosehair-singing effect of the citrus oils. Those listed among the ingredients of this particular perfume are lemon, lime, and neroli oil. Rose absolute is listed way down in the list somewhere, and thankfully this composition does not appear to contain the killer lemongrass oil favored by this perfumer.

The overall effect gestures toward gourmand territory and might call to mind vague memories of the house of Lolita Lempicka, but the Lush base abides like a fingerprint, marking this perfume as a Simon Constantine creation. Nonetheless, all things considered, this smells pretty good--for the "house" of Lush.

I really love lush and their products, but most of the perfumes in the gorilla line are just too strange to wear. Superworld unknown is one of them. It make me nauseatic. Honestly. It's an odd mix of benzoin, bug repellent and herbs in my opinion. As others have stated, it has nothing to do with candy floss, and candy floss is what i had hoped for. The only lush fragrances i enjoy are Vanillary and Imogen Rose. I love love love the smell of American Cream though! Wish it was a regular perfume in the line, not such an exclusive forum potion.

This is s strange, but not wholly unpleasant scent. Starts out pine/citrus fresh, like a cleaner or a bug repellent, but morphs into something more like fruity sweets/bubblegum. Nice, but not something I'd wear very often.

I have to write a new review for this one.

It smells very medicinal, not feminine...smells like pine and a bit Jean Nate, and it is NOT what I remember! Not what I thought it would be!!

I am NOT sure which Lush product a had before, maybe Karma?

Superworld Unknown does NOT work for me.
WAY too odd. Superweird Unknown.

This scent is very unusual! It's extremely hard to describe. I'm not sure i like it or not but i'm intrigued by it! I must admit I can't smell anything sweet in there, and the whole candy floss thing would have been the last thing i would've thought of! It seems actually like a ridiculous description!It a mature scent , i definatly get the lime and benzoin notes. Hmmm certainly not run of the mill! I'm not sure it's me but could be a fabulous signature scent for the right person!!

This is quite a unique smell. It's very hard to describe, but for me, it smells initially of lime and citrus, but then it softens into a bit of a sweet and sandalwood-y scent. The website describes it as "candy-floss", but I think that's misleading because it's not really that sweet. It's slightly sweet, but not like sugar. The scent to me is quite effervescent, if that makes sense. It's like 7-Up meets sandalwood. Ok, that sounds weird, but it's hard to describe. Let's just say, it works. It smells like nothing I have ever smelled in my life. I really do like it. I was excited to finally get my hands on some since I live in the USA.

EDIT:
I've realized two things about this scent:
1.) It really does grow on you after a while
2.) It could really be unisex
