Citrus oils, herbs and vanilla...
What an interesting perfume! I really love these kinds of creations by Lush. I can tell that the ingredients here are of a high quality. The neroli oil here is bright and very zesty! As is the petitgrain and juniper, this gives a very sharp top and middle that shines like bright sunlight on a summer's day at the beach. Then there is a background of sandalwood and vanilla to give depth and round it off with character.
In a nutshell, the whole perfume screams "Fun"! I am not disappointed by this one and I enjoy wearing it. It's almost like a 1960's feature in technicolor. I see what Simon Constantine was going for when he mentioned the smell of "Lemon Sherbets", a boiled lemon and sugar sweet which is very zesty and bright. The development into the vanilla drydown phase is welcome and adds a further gourmand, sweeter aspect in the vein of Guerlain - Shalimar. In fact, there is more than a passing resemblance to that perfume here, except here the citrus has been turned up to full volume, and the vanilla is a background player.
Overall, I highly recommend this fragrance as a bright, positive and uplifting (yet artificial) experience. I say this because this is not a perfume that is imitating nature, but rather man-made wonders, like electricity, pop music and technology. Things which give us joy but which we created, for ourselves. Still, it gives me a kick wearing this quirky perfume. Great stuff!
