Perfumes – Lush Upon A Time

Sticky Dates Body Spray from Lush

The Sticky Dates Body Sprays release date is scheduled in for the 21^st 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.

So White Body Spray from Lush

At the time of writing this review the So White Body Spray is currently an exclusive Lush product that can only be purchased through the Lush Kitchen online. If you have been thinking of getting a bottle I suggest placing your order sooner rather than later, they have proven very popular and even though the Lush Kitchen are making much bigger batches now, I can’t see them being around for very much longer. The So White body spray shares its scent with Santa’s Belly shower jelly, Once Upon A Time body lotion and of course the So White bath bomb and shower gel.

This deliciously-crisp, apple scented body spray is the perfect product to spritz yourself with to leave you feeling instantly refreshed, its scent is uplifting and gives you the boost of all boosts to help start your day with a clear state of mind. I can never resist its scent, there’s just something about it that makes me think of a far away, fairytale kingdom. Smelling just like a princess has never been so easy!

To use all you have to do is squirt the So White body spray over your body or clothes. Just 1 or 2 squirts is all you need, I’m amazed that such a small amount leaves you smelling absolutely gorgeous all day long. Now that I own a few, I can understand why so many people favour the body sprays over the perfumes. They have the same level of strength (scent-wise) and you get so much more for your money with them too.

As I said above, only one or two spritz of the So White body spray is needed to get the most out of it and its scent really does stay with you for the whole day. Upon the very first spritz I immediately ordered another bottle of it, it was still available and I thought, why not? I never, ever want to be without this beautiful, fairytale-dream-scented body spray. I am gutted that it was released after my wedding as it would have been the perfect scent for our special day. Not that my wedding wasn’t amazing but smelling just like a princess would have made the day glisten instead of just shine!

I honestly don’t know why Lush didn’t create more body sprays long before now as they really are such wonderful products. They are so cost effective and last for so much longer than any other Lush product ever has before. In my review of the Twilight body spray I said that it was the best body spray I had ever tried, well… Move over Twilight, So White is in the house.

I am so pleased that the Lush Kitchen expanded upon the line of products with the So White scent, I have been a huge fan of the scent family ever since using my very first So White scented Lush product, the original So White bath bomb. Apple scents aren’t a common ingredient in Lush products, the only other product with a hint of apple in that springs to mind right now is the Fizzbanger bath bomb. Fizzbanger smells just like hot, apple pie, it’s yet another Lush-applesque-scent that I adore, Fruity apple scents must be in demand though as Lush also do a Fizzbanger scented body spray called the Love body spray… Here’s hoping even more So White scented products get invented. I have my eyes peeled for that So White solid perfume that the Lush Kitchen promised us!

Brightside Solid Perfume from Lush

Brightside Solid Perfume Back in May the Lush Kitchen team put a list together of Lush’s most popular scents. We (the Lush community) then had to pick our ultimate top 5 scents from that scent list. With this list the Lush Kitchen had promised to make several never-before-been-released products with those chosen top 5 scents.

I was really happy but not surprised to see that the Brightside scent had been chosen as one of the 5. Brightside is a beautiful scent family and one that I wish Lush had expanded on, with other products long before now. Alongside a Brightside body lotion the Lush Kitchen also decided to release a Brightside Solid Perfume.

As soon as my Brightside body lotion and Brightside solid perfume arrived I squealed with delight. Previous to this I believe there had only ever been two other Brightside scented products, the bubble bar and the Sunrise soap. The Bubble Bar was one of my very first Lush products so its scent will always be one I think fondly of. As soon as you take off the Brightside solid perfumes lid you can see and smell exactly why Lush describe it as the ‘antidote to gloomy days.’ The bergamot, tangerine and mandarin oils within it all work together to make one of Lush’s most uplifting fragrances.

Brightside SP 2

Lush’s solid perfumes consistency visually resembles Vaseline, they are however not as soft and easily manipulated to the touch as Vaseline is. I’d describe them as more like a cooled, solid candle wax. The warmth of your finger heats up just enough of the product to put on your wrists and neck. I like its consistency as it stops you from using too much by accident. A downside to the solid perfumes is that I can’t spritz a little on my clothes or hair.

Applying the Brightside solid perfume is very easy, even when you’re on the go. It can slip in your pocket or any hand bag or purse ready for when you need it. Much like the Brightside bubble bar and body lotion I had such high expectations of this solid perfume. Unfortunately I found that even when I applied a more than generous amount to my wrist its scent faded within 10 minutes. I have heard this is very common with products that are applied to the skin when they have bergamot, tangerine or mandarin oil in though.

Maybe one day Lush will create a liquid perfume in the Brightside scent, I think being able to spray a little on your clothes and hair would help carry the scent for longer. It appears that skin just seems to soak Brightside solid perfume up leaving no trace of it at all in just a few minutes. I do however feel that the solid perfume while in the tin, was a perfect match scent wise to the much loved Brightside bubble bar, Lush did well with this product in that aspect.
