Dark and spicy
I'm surprised at how popular this scent is, because when I first tried it on, I was immediately hit by how dark and spicy it is. The amber and patchouli stand out for me most, rather than it being a generic vanilla scent. It's smooth, heavy, almost giving me a mature 80s kind of vibe and kind of masculine? I feel like I am not smelling the same scent as a lot of people, then again, the sample I tried was extremely dark coloured. In any case, I do think it's worth a try since so many people like it, however it is too heavy and spicy for me personally.
The smell of LUSH
Smells similar to 29 High Street, which is meant to smell like the scent of a LUSH shop all mixed together. I prefer this to 29 High Street, which I found to be too strongly citrus. Old Songs is a more balanced mix and I agree with the other review that it gives an overall impression of all the different smells that are wafting around a LUSH shop.
Grass and hay
This is one of the more intriguing scents I've tried from LUSH. I'm not getting much honey or sweetness from The Bee's Knees, rather a more grassy and earthy scent. It changes a lot on the skin as it develops. I first get a green scent similar to LUSH Grass, then it morphs into something that reminds me of LUSH The Smell of Weather Turning - an atmospheric hay.
LUSH vanilla
This is LUSH's contribution to the vastly crowded vanilla market, and it doesn't disappoint. Vanillary is slightly gourmand but not overly so. It is sweet, yes, mingling with a bit of spice and jasmine so it is not just straight-up vanilla. The perfume is tinged with smoky warmth as well. This is well worth a try if you like vanilla scents. I've only decluttered this from my collection because I have a very similar scent - Voluspa Macaron - and I don't need two.
Spiced vanilla latte
I love the massage bar with this scent, so I had to test this out. The perfume is a very intense version of the massage bar fragrance, with an added smoke/spice in the opening. Once it mellows out it is identical to the massage bar, which is a delicious gourmand spicy vanilla (think chai latte with extra vanilla). This is one of the stronger Lush perfumes I have tried and just one spray lingers for hours on me.
