Overwhelming, gorgeous, comforting and absolutely awful
I can NOT figure this out. I fell completely in love the first time i sniffed it, it was liquid Christmas, oranges (LUSH says it's mandarin- I don't know why it says apricot up here, it does not smell apricot to me) and spices, everything a bit musky. Almost edible, but not quite- it was a deep, comforting scent and I went for the larger atomizer as a compliment to the solid stick I already owned.
But as the days passed I suddenly got aware of the animalic leathery note that is labdanum. Intense, cloying labdanum, sometimes repulsing because of the strongness of the scent (LUSH perfumes has a high content of oils, which I believe is the reason for the scents acting more like parfum than edP, although LUSH doesn't say anything about this). The mandarin note is lying quiet beneath, but the labdanum wall is blocking it from coming up and out.
When it's the right kind of day I love it. When it rains, I tend to love it. When I'm sick I want it as far away as possible- this little fellow almost seeps through his bottle and scents the room!
