Yuzu and Cocoa Lush / Cosmetics To Go 2019 Body Spray

Yuzu and Cocoa was also the name of my first Lush product - a shower gel. In the meantime, almost 10 years have passed since I last had this fragrance under my nose. The bright yellow bottle was an important staple in my bathroom for quite a while. Freshly showered, I filled (what felt like) classrooms with it and I loved the clean yet cuddly-warm feeling it gave me.

So when I made another trip to a Lush store last weekend, I thought I was going to be struck. Butterball, Cinders, Milky Bath... and other oldies are there in the form of a body spray or as a perfume. And when I saw Yuzu and Cocoa in between, my day was made.

I don't always find that Lush translates an existing fragrance well for spraying on later. With another favorite of mine like Lord of Misrule, for example, I miss the vanilla compared to the shower gel. But here I simply can't complain.

Now the body spray opens very citrusy.
In the first five minutes, cocoa and tonka bean are only very subtly perceptible. After that, and especially from the 1-2 hour mark, this chocolate-tonka bomb radiates in combination with these fresh citrus fruits - it is melting away. In the deeper drydown, it even has a slightly coconutty effect on me.

The longevity is relatively incredible. On the skin, as well as on clothing and hair. And since this is a limited edition, I would advise all gourmandies to try this one.
