Glinda Upland Body Spray from Lush

Lush have collaborated with the number one must-see film of the year, Wicked. The phenomenal Wicked X Lush range is out now, just in time for the film’s highly anticipated release!

Each product in this well thought out collection oozes all-things-Oz and showcases some very unusual yet beautifully harmonious ingredient blends that shouldn’t work well together yet do…

With several of the products in the Wicked X Lush collection having brand new Lush-scent-families I have my reviewing-work well and truly cut out. Today I will be reviewing the Glinda Upland Body Spray.

The Glinda Upland body spray comes in the most unbelievably beautiful packaging. The spray bottles are still the traditional Lush black, but their labels are in Wicked inspired colours. Glinda Upland’s label is of course bright pink and has a shiny pink silhouette of Glinda in the centre of its label.

Ingredients wise, the Glinda Upland body spray contains rose oil, palmarosa oil, sesame seed absolute, vanilla absolute, almond essential oil, orris oil and benzoin resinoid.

As Lush-scent-families go, with the Wicked X Lush line, I don’t think there has ever been a stronger scented collection of products.

The Elphaba Thropp body spray (the other body spray in the Wicked X Lush collection) is actually the strongest scented Lush product I have ever used, and the Glinda Upland body spray is a very close second…

Both have incredible staying power. I am always hesitant to use too much of a new Lush body spray/perfume as I am easily overwhelmed. After my experience with Elphaba Thropp I used the Glinda Upland body spray sparingly which turned out to be a very wise decision!

One spritz was more than enough to last on my clothes for at least 18 hours. Most Lush scents are considered quite strong, but both the Wicked X Lush body sprays are on a whole new level of powerful.

The Glinda Upland scent is velvety, creamy and sweet. My nose really picks up on the rose oil in it although, the rose oil is softened somewhat with the sweetness of the vanilla. It almost has a pistachio like layer to its scent too. It makes me think of a bakery that shares its space with a flower shop!

The beautifully designed labels on the Wicked X Lush body sprays will definitely tempt the customers in. After all, it did me! I never usually blind buy body sprays, but I couldn’t resist when I saw them in this incredible Oz collection!

The Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb that is also a part of the Wicked X Lush collection is said to be a blend of both of the Wicked X Lush body sprays.

I would never have come to this conclusion had I not been told though. I cannot smell the Elphaba Thropp fragrance in the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb at all, I can however recognise notes of Glinda Upland in it.

BUT again, both of the Wicked X Lush body sprays scent-families are so complicated and full of such a complex amount of ingredients that it’s almost impossible for me to recognise either/or in the bath bomb.

Overall, I really like the Glinda Upland body spray. Like the Elphaba Thropp body spray it is a little intense scent-strength-wise but is my favourite of the two because of how velvety and sweet it is.

Elphaba Thropp Body Spray from Lush

Lush have collaborated with what is unarguably the must see film of the year, Wicked.

With its impending cinema release, Lush have created a Wicked X Lush range, to die for!

Each product within this carefully crafted collection oozes all-things-Oz and showcases some very unusual yet beautifully harmonious ingredient blends that shouldn’t work together, but somehow do.

With several of the products also having brand new fragrances I have my reviewing-work cut out. Today I will be reviewing the Elphaba Thropp Body Spray.

The Elphaba Thropp body spray comes in the most unbelievably beautiful packaging. The spray bottles are still the traditional Lush black, but their labels are in Wicked inspired colours! Elphaba Thropp’s label is of course bright green, just like Elphaba and has a shiny green silhouette of Elphaba in the centre of its label.

Ingredients wise, the Elphaba Thropp body spray contains hiba wood oil, cedarwood absolute, vanilla absolute, Sicilian lemon oil, pink pepper oil and cardamom absolute.

As Lush fragrances go, I don’t think there has ever been a body spray as strongly scented as Elphaba Thropp. I haven’t come across any other body spray or perfume from Lush with its same staying power. I am always hesitant to use too much of a new Lush body spray/perfume as I am easily overwhelmed…

Because of this, the first time that I wore Elphaba Thropp I hardly sprayed any on me at all. It was one cowardly half squirt, but that was enough. Four days later I could still smell the body spray on my cars seat belt which, kind of blows my mind as the one half-hearted squirt of it that I sprayed was on my jumper, not the seat belt!

The Elphaba Thropp scent makes a bold and invigorating first impression. It is sweet, comforting but unmistakably led by its pink pepper oil ingredient, the vanilla in it is also very prominent. As the fragrance settles the woodiness of the body spray starts to come through.

It’s not only one of the longest-lasting body sprays that I’ve ever owned from Lush, but also one of the most complex scents from Lush too.

The beautifully designed labels on the Wicked X Lush body sprays will definitely pull in the customers, it did me! I never usually blind buy body sprays, but I couldn’t resist when I saw them in this incredible and magical Oz collection.

The Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb that is also a part of the Wicked X Lush collection is said to be a blend of both of the Wicked body sprays combined.

I personally would never have guessed this, I cannot smell the Elphaba Thropp fragrance in the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb at all, which really confuses me considering Elphaba Thropp is the strongest scent I have ever come across from Lush?!!

I understand this makes little sense, BUT the bath bomb just smells so different I’d never have known it had Elphaba Thropp in if I hadn’t been told.

Overall, I really like the Elphaba Thropp body spray, it is a little intense scent-strength-wise for me which is why I have said like and not love. One gentle spritz of Elphaba Thropp is more than enough per wear, with it lasting on fabric for 4 plus days it feels like quite a commitment! Never have I smelt a Lush product as powerful as this body spray!

Grape Soda Body Spray from Lush

The Grape Soda Body Spray is one of six exclusive body sprays that Lush have recently released a limited amount of. I was lucky enough to be sent a bottle a week or so ago; Thank you, Lush!

As you can see from the photos included in this review, the Grape Soda body spray doesn’t have the standard Lush, black-and-white-label on it. Grape Sodas label is a dark shade of purple. 

I think Lush were clever to inject colour into the labels of each of the exclusive body sprays in this Summer inspired fragrance drop.

The bright colours scream Summertime. This, alongside the uplifting scents contained within each of the six body spray bottles, make it impossible to not get excited about each of them!

You’ll recognise this body sprays scent if you have tried the UK version of the Big Squeeze bath bomb from this years (2024) Valentine’s Day line.


I must confess that I had to do a little research on Grape Soda before writing this review, I’m not very familiar with what inspired this fragrance as it’s not as popular a food/drink flavour here in the UK, as it is in other countries such as the USA.

In my review of the Big Squeeze bath bomb, I stand by what I said. The Grape Soda scent is very artificial, this however doesn’t mean it is unpleasant.

My research has taught me that American’s just have more of a palate for fruity flavours that are more artificial or exaggerated compared to the British who are more accustomed to fruity flavours that are more natural and/or less intense.

I do however remember sweets from my childhood that were grape flavoured so we aren’t completely deprived of all things Grape Soda in the UK, it just wasn’t (and still isn’t) as readily available here as the demand for it just isn’t on the same scale.

My point is, I feel like this body spray will sell much better outside of the UK than it will in the UK – but, time will tell!

The Grape Soda body spray contains both juniper berry and sweet wild orange oils. The scent is very distinct and as I said earlier it’s fruity but in an artificial way; Think of it as a synthetic interpretation of grapes. It’s sour, tangy and incredibly strong, possibly the strongest out of the six recently released body sprays.

One squirt of the Grape Soda body spray is all you need to use, with it being so strong I think putting any more on would be overkill and wasteful. Just one spritz lasts a good six to eight hours making it excellent value for money.

I’m always honest in my reviews and Grape Soda isn’t one of my favourite Lush scent families but I can see it being very popular with younger customers, especially those within the USA, there is something very playful about the scent, it reminds me of being a kid, a kid without a care in the world.

Overall, I am impressed with the Grape Soda body spray, it’s strong and lasts which is all you really need a body spray to be!
