Vegan Perfume

"my absolute favourite, develops on the skin amazingly and i can still smell it after hours" - claireHW "Just lovely. Top notes of neroli and jasmine which hang around for the whole experience as the oudh and sandalwood come through. The ginger gives it a zing. I've worn it today on a rare heatwave summer day here in UK and it was beautiful in the burning sun." - tamsingregory7 "Smokey lemon, sweet neroli with a hint of sage and luxury - I'm in HEAVEN!" - theonelilium.dk

At the heart of this evocative perfume sits deeply warming oudh and basey sandalwood, giving a rich spicy note. Spritz yourself and as it settles on the skin, light and zesty lemongrass is released and violet-esque orris oil is liberated from the blend. Inspired by resilience and emancipation, this fragrance weaves a thousand tales.

Your order will be expertly protected by biodegradable Eco Pops, easily dissolvable in water or soil.

Sandalwood is a distinctly reassuring and grounding scent; it creates the base of many marvellous perfumes.

Sandalwood is an umbrella name for many scented trees, all belonging to the Santalum genus. These evergreen trees can grow up to 50 feet tall and have to be at least 25 years old before the wood is ready for distillation.

There are about 10 different types of sandalwood acress various parts of the world. Its aroma can change slightly depending on the origin.

Because of its popular fragrance and importance in many rites and folk medicine around the globe, sandalwood has been overexploited and the harvesting badly managed for centuries, leaving some species endangered. Although regulations have been made by governments, the high value of the wood still leads to smuggling, counterfeits and corruption, making it very difficult to find sustainable sources and a good oil quality. After long investigations and adventures, Lush buyers have found a few reliable sources.

Ingredient

Seductive

jasmine_22_9f6c3775.jpg

The jasmine flower is a delight for the senses! Its scent is powerful, sensual and enticing.

Jasmine belongs to the large olive family (Oleaceae). It is native to tropical regions of Eurasia, and Oceania. The jasmine flower is white or pale yellow, star-shaped and extremely fragrant. They open at night to release their sensual scent. Thousands of jasmine flowers are processed through solvent extraction to produce just one kilogram of jasmine absolute, which is a thick, dark orange liquid with a rich, floral aroma.

Jasmine was brought to Europe in the 16th century and became a staple ingredient in the perfume industry. Every August, a jasmine festival is held in Grasse, France, during which revellers scatter jasmine water and flowers over celebrating crowds and the town comes alive with music, events and visitors from all over the world.

Lush gets jasmine from many different places around the world such as India and Egypt. The flowers are ideally picked at sunrise when they are the most fragrant.

Uplifting

Antiseptic

lemongrass_2021__d71f0d21.png

Lemongrass is a zingy, tropical treat for aches and pains - of the body and the mind!

Lemongrass is a perennial tropical plant native to India which grows long aromatic leaves that can grow up to 1.5 metres.&nbsp;

Thanks to its antifungal and antiseptic properties, lemongrass oil is excellent to use in deodorants. It keeps you feeling clean and fresh whilst smelling great. It is also used in dental care for the same reason.

Lush uses a lemongrass oil produced in Indonesia, but also sources the raw plant from other parts of the world to make infusions. To find out more, browse your Lush product’s list of ingredients and click on the ones you are interested in. This should take you to a page full of details!

neroli_22_b2f61ddd.jpg

Delicately floral and somewhat citrusy, the scent of neroli is distinctively cheering.

Neroli oil comes from the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium amara), which is an evergreen member of the Rutaceae plant family. Many parts of the tree are used for perfuming and culinary purposes. The fruits flavour food and drinks, and the flowers are distilled to produce neroli oil and orange flower absolute. Petitgrain oil is also obtained from the leaves and twigs of this same tree.

What are the benefits of neroli for the body and mind?

Neroli is naturally uplifting and widely used in aromatherapy for its stress-relieving effects. This oil is a true luxury, as the distillation process requires a lot of flowers to produce just a little.&nbsp;

Marie-Anne de La Trémoille (1642 - 1722) named the bitter orange flower oil ‘neroli’ after the city Nerola in Italy of which she was the princess. She loved to wear the oil as a perfume and created a trend in European royal courts - she would probably be called an influencer nowadays.

Lush sources a few different neroli oils from several different suppliers. To find out more, browse your Lush product’s list of ingredients and click on the ones you are interested in. This should take you to a page full of details!
