Not Junk but a Ricola Herbal Candy :-D
This was my first thought as I eagerly unwrapped the bottle and took a sniff. But first, let's go in order...
I was strolling through the city center with my partner when it suddenly hit me that I wanted to visit Lush. I hadn't been inside a Lush for a long time and, accordingly, hadn't bought any products, but the unique scent of the "Comforter" was still fresh in my memory. So, I did what I said. I stood in the corona-related line outside the store and was soon allowed to enter. Unfortunately, the shopping experience is somewhat marred by the fact that you can no longer smell the products yourself; instead, if you're interested, you have to call over a salesperson who then assists you with your purchases. Understandable in the current situation, as not everyone should be pressing their dripping noses against the unpackaged products. So, I had a nice saleswoman wrap up a "Comforter" for me, and then she asked if I was already familiar with the scent that corresponds to the "Comforter." I said no. When she then asked if she could apply it on me, I of course said yes. The "Comforter" as a fragrance? *scream* How cool is that? She enveloped me in a cozy cassis cloud, and I melted away. I had to have it! So both the perfume and the bath bomb ended up in the shopping cart.
Happy and a bit high from the time spent in Lush (anyone who has been in a Lush knows what I mean...an olfactory giant orchestra!) I blissfully floated back into my partner's arms, cradling my treasure.
We continued to stroll through the city, and I kept sniffing my arm, each time pure delight.
Back in the car, I naturally couldn't hold back and had to smell this sensational scent again. But as soon as I took the fragrance out of my bag and read the name, I started to hesitate: "Junk"? Shouldn't it actually say "The Comforter"? I shrugged and pushed the doubt aside for the moment. I sprayed a bit into the cap and smelled again, and I was shocked. This was definitely not the scent of the "Comforter." It smelled like a very fresh Ricola herbal candy. What had happened? Had the saleswoman made a mistake? Did she perhaps even trick me into promoting "Junk" because it might have been a slow seller? I don't know. My partner suggested simply exchanging the fragrance, but I didn't want to, because somehow I liked my new Ricola.
The scent initially smells very herbal. Rosemary and sage are clearly recognizable. The sage is a bit more dominant to my nose at first, but not by much. Gradually, the mandarin and lemon join in. However, this does not smell or feel artificial. I didn't even notice the blackcurrant at first. It only appeared after several tests on my skin.
And what can I say? The more I wear it, the more I like it. And the more I wear it, the more it smells to me like the "Comforter" bath bomb. However, not as sweet as the bath bomb, but fresher and a bit more bitter, without being too masculine or heavy.
I find the longevity to be above average. I can still perceive it on myself for a long time. Nevertheless, one should indulge in a maximum of three sprays, as it is quite intense.
My partner, for example, doesn't like it at all. To him, Junk smells like cleaning products (the philistine!)
I, however, like it very much, and when I want to completely step away from my gourmand perfumes, I gladly reach for it. So, you see, opinions are divided on it.
In my opinion, it can be worn all year round. Sparingly dosed, it lasts all day. The bottle is simple and functional. Not a design highlight, but the inner values count, and those are great.
Conclusion:
Junk is a lovely herbal-fruity scent that lasts long. I would definitely recommend it to men as well. The herbs, citrus fruits, and blackcurrant together create a rounded, fruity-bitter blend. In short, a Ricola to scent yourself with :-D
P.S.: I researched for a long time and finally found out that there once was a fragrance named "The Comforter" by Lush. Unfortunately, it seems to have been limited and is no longer produced. Whether Junk is now a fresher version of the old scent or whether the two have no connection at all, I couldn't find out. Maybe someone among you knows more details?
