Sticky Dates Body Spray from Lush

The Sticky Dates Body Sprays release date is scheduled in for the 21st of November 2023. From that day, a limited amount will be available to purchase through the Lush app and through the Lush website.

I was lucky enough to be gifted a bottle prior to its release, I was one of only 50 people IN THE WORLD who were sent one of the new 7 scents that are coming out on the 21st of November. Hence me feeling very jammy and being able to review this for you all beforehand!

You’ll recognise this body sprays scent if you have tried the Sticky Dates shower gel and Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub. It’s a fairly new Lush-scent-family but whatever product format it comes out in always proves popular and sells very well.

Ingredients wise, the Sticky Dates body spray contains sandalwood oil, benzoin resinoid and carob resinoid. This carefully selected group of ingredients creates one of Lush’s most moreish fragrances to date. Just a small spritz of it leaves you feeling like you’re wrapped in a delicious, caramel scented blanket.

The best description of it is that it smells just like a hot and gooey sticky toffee pudding with a generous helping or 2 of vanilla ice cream. I knew upon the shower-gel-equivalents release that its scent alone was going to catapult it straight into the list of Lush’s best sellers and I was right. It makes perfect sense for Lush to therefore create a body-spray-form of the Sticky Dates scent too.

Although I have described the Sticky Dates body sprays scent above as a hot and gooey sticky toffee pudding fragrance it is so much more complex than that. Lush have even managed to capture the smoky element of toasted caramel in it too. It’s mouth-wateringly good!

The Lush community were in desperate need of an injection of new perfume and body sprays, I am very excited for the official release date so I can purchase some of the other new fragrances alongside the Sticky Dates body spray. With it being such a small, limited edition drop I’ll make sure to prioritise my reviews on them over the other products on my list so that you have access to them while they are still on sale.

A very small amount of the Sticky Dates body spray goes a very long way. It’s incredibly strong. Sometimes I spray Lush body sprays on me 2 to 3 times, but the Sticky Dates body spray requires only 1 squirt and you’re good for the whole day. I find it lasts a lot longer when sprayed on my skin rather than my clothes too.

I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank Lush for sending me this body spray early, it was such a treat and as someone who spends at least 23 hours of the day thinking about Lush, it really is an appreciated gesture! I adore the Sticky Dates body spray and know it will sell just as well as its shower gel equivalent.

Princess Peach Body Spray from Lush

At the time of writing this review, Lush’s most recent collaboration with the, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is by far Lush’s most popular collaborations to date. Today I’m going to be reviewing another of my favourite products from the collection, the Princess Peach Body Spray.

The Mario and Luigi shower gels that are also a part of this collection are both remakes of older Lush shower gels, unlike Princess Peach which is a brand-new Lush scent!

I do love when older Lush scents come back to life in new products, BUT brand-new scents are always exciting too. The Princess Peach body spray is described on Lush’s website as a ‘fruity burst of peach and pineapple’.

Ingredients wise, the Princess Peach body spray contains organic sweet orange oil, buchu oil, litsea cubeba oil, olibanum resinoid and champaca absolute. This carefully selected group of ingredients create such an uplifting fragrance that is fit for a princess. If you’ve ever wondered what Princess Peach smells like, the Princess Peach body spray is the answer!

If you are familiar with Lush’s Peachy bath bomb, Princess Peach is quite similar to that but with a tropical twist. The longer you sniff it, the more complex the fragrance gets. At first, I can smell a cocktail of peach and pineapple then after a few more seconds there’s a muskiness to the scent, it reminds me of the little mushroom sweets I used to eat as a kid.

With mushrooms being such an intricate part of the Super Mario Bros. world I can’t help but think this may have been deliberate.

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but as soon as I see the pink label on this body spray with Princess Peach on it, my inner princess couldn’t help but squeal a little. Lush were wise to use these types of visuals on their packaging for this particular line. I know Lush are trying hard to use less and less packaging but sadly I think this line has had so much success due to its packaging.

The packaging with all of the characters on them is a huge reason that customers were tempted into Lush stores. I feel that how great the products actually are, is secondary to the Mario Bros. packaging.

The packaging of this body spray was brilliant at tempting new customers in but how amazing the body spray smells is what has made new Lush customers, forever-Lush-customers. Old customers like me, seem to have really loved the Mario Bros. line too so it’s a win, win!

I am very interested to see how well future collaborations go if the products aren’t so obviously a collab, like the Princess Peach body spray is.

Just a few spritz of the Princess Peach body spray either on your body or clothes is all you need for it to last on you all day. Its delicate fruity scent is delightful and a good choice if you dislike the heavier Lush scents. Overall, I adore this body spray and hope it’s not the last we see of the scent. I will be reviewing its shower jelly equivalent in the next few days so keep checking back!

Zesty Body Spray from Lush

Previously known as the Calacas body spray, the Zesty Body Spray’s scent happens to be one of my most favourite Lush scents of all time. My first experience with a Zesty/Calacas scented product was when I ordered the Calacas shower gel back when Lush was all shiny and new to me.

I fell hopelessly in love after just one use and just like that, my Lush-life’s mission became trying anything and everything Lush brought out with the same fragrance.

Before the body spray’s release, I had been putting in weekly requests to Lush for a Calacas perfume for what felt like an eternity, it had been my most wanted product for well over 5 years. On the 1st of December 2018 Lush finally came through. The Lush Kitchen made a Calacas Body Spray! Since then, it has not only had a name change but has also been made into a mainline product thanks to it being so popular.

The Zesty body spray was inspired by the Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead is celebrated throughout Mexico during the last week of October and first few days of November. It is a celebration in honour of the family and friends who are no longer with them.

Zesty contains lime, frankincense and neroli oils, the Zesty scent is sweet, sharp and thanks to the neroli oil an instant mood booster. Lush have joked that it’s so zingy it could wake the dead.

The Zesty scent is hugely popular within the Lush community and Lush have made it into many different product formats, my favourites that share its scent (other than the body spray and shower gel) are the Monsters’ Ball bath bomb, Man in the Moon bubble bar, The Enchanter bath bomb and Calacas body lotion.

Zesty is a beautiful, citrus body spray. Another thing I really like about it is that it isn’t super-duper in your face strong like some other citrusy scents. One quick spray on to my clothes leaves me smelling of it all day.  I can often still smell it on my top if I wear it the next day too.

I love wearing it on special occasions so that whenever I do get a whiff of it, I feel special.

Another thing I like to do with it is spritz it on the ends of my hair. Several people have asked me what shampoo I use as my hair smells so lovely. Overall, I am over the moon with this body spray. It has pride of place on top of my dresser next to my Celebrate and Once Upon a Time body sprays.
