Quirky and fun
Minty, Fresh, Earthy. The spearmint is bright and real. It's not that fake gum and toothpaste mint but a bright, fresh, "I just bruised a mint leaf between my fingers" mint. The mix of oakmoss and sandalwood give it a nice earthy feel and there is a slightly herbal edge from the thyme and a sweetness from the tarragon. I really like it. It's different and fun.

Like all Gorilla perfumes the sillage is nuclear and it lasts forever.

The forgotten mint that lies bruised & trampled at the bottom of the garden.
The first blast of scent I get is like sweet, earthy, minty tea. The mint is really strong and somehow masculine. So strong that at first it is almost headache inducing. Slight herbalness underneath, but I cannot distinguish tarragon or lavender at all. Within 1 hour it distills down to earthy, musky sweetness reminiscent of pipe tobacco.

To me all of the Lush scents are really strong and long lasting, and have some element of earthiness to them

After two hours a nice spearmint.
Intensely fresh spearmint, Something synthetic at the beginning, It look a mint gum or toohpaste. It´s a perfume herbal, spicy, aromatic and clean with the Lush touch.
It´s energizing, to feel clean and fresh in spring.
it have a one hour of strong projection and after it go down to a nice sweet mint. 7 hours of longevity.

Fresh from the sea
I've been interested in the body sprays from Lush for a while and I really wanted to try Dirty because the notes appealed to me so much. However, I hadn't tested anything like this from Lush before.

So the other day I marched into the store full of anticipation and sprayed on the first two body sprays. Phew, there's a funny note to it.

Anyway, on to the dirty perfume. Pffft, take a sniff. Hmm, yes, strong fresh mint in the foreground. A hint of lavender also resonates. It's okay but all 3 fragrances didn't convince me (at first!).

A little disappointed but somehow also happy to have saved money, I headed home.

Half an hour later, the body sprays lost their dull, strange note from the start and developed into something really positive.

Then I took another close look at the Dirty. I couldn't believe it! Some people here write associations such as: freshly swept car repair shop, dentist, cleaning agent or herbal bath etc.. But on me, the scent suddenly smells as if I've just come in from the sea. The sun is beating down on my skin. The drops of sea water slowly dry off my skin. So I also get a pinch of sea salt on top, even though it's not listed. Wow! Yes, that's how I want to smell this summer!

The mint is no longer so present for me, but combines with the other notes in such a way that I can experience this feeling here. I really can't describe the fragrance any better. That's exactly what it is for me.

For me, it's definitely unisex and leans neither in a masculine nor feminine direction. Exactly in the middle in my opinion.

Conclusion for me again: wait and see and drink tea. And be happy afterwards.

A fragrance that is a wake-up call
A fragrance that catches the eye. Definitely not a compliment catcher and absolutely a matter of taste.
It starts strongly minty and citrusy, later the woody notes come to the fore.
If you dose it carefully, you can enjoy it. Longevity and sillage - as with almost all Lush fragrances - extremely powerful! It's often too much for me, but then there comes a day when I need it! It wakes me up, refreshes and motivates me.

Dirty? How rude! My unisex rustic cottage with lavender sachets and fresh mint tea is cozy, not dirty. The nerve!

Ok, there’s the ’dental’ mint everyone’s busy with, but wait for the plot twist: pre-aromatic fougere drydown that’s basically Grey Flannel.
