Of Pines and Abandoned Meadows
Let's talk today about an old Lush fragrance that, to my knowledge, has not been made for a long time and does not appear in any product.

At Lush, some fragrances that appear in products are also available individually, while others are only available as perfume. Or only in the product. This is basically where my fragrance journey began. Hence the specific mention at this point.

Princess Cottongrass is definitely inspired by a Swedish fairy tale and likely joined my collection in 2017. Still going strong, contrary to what some might suspect.

The scent starts with a fresh pine and fresh green. Initially a bit harsher, then the green becomes sweeter. Stems turn into leaves. Leaves turn into shoots. Delicately, Neroli joins in imperceptibly. If it were too prominent, it would be a dealbreaker for me. Spring-like waves surround me and tell me the story of a clearing in the north.

And then I fly away like Nils Holgersson with the geese.

Rain Scent
In the forum, there are occasional inquiries about a "rain scent." I find Princess Cottongrass to be a fitting suggestion. It’s about a summer rain shower in the forest, to be precise.
The inspiration for the fragrance seems to have come from a Swedish fairy tale. It tells of a princess who waits by a lake in the forest while searching for her golden necklace.
I imagine this lake surrounded by soft grasses and covered with water lilies. That to reach it, one must walk barefoot over thick moss cushions.
The scent is mysterious and mystical, but not heavy as is often the case in this category. It is fresh, green, and gentle.
The "green-rainy" aspect is likely the combination of nettle and violet leaf. Beautiful.
