Pansy

I kind of purchased this by accident. And I planned to return it. And then...I discovered it. This may sound weird ..but it's karma grown up. It's my new favorite.

I love all the scents that are in the description but together I don't like it.

This scent is amazing. If you're like me and been a Lushie for longer than my bank account would like to admit, you might remember solid perfume tins pre gorilla perfumes. Olive branch was one of those. I may or may not, but definitely do have a tin floating around my bathroom with the smidgiest of smidges that has the faintest odor left and I covet it. Well hands down, there's finally something comparable.

It's over, folks. This scent is the one that will be with me for the rest of my life. I have always been a fan of the Olive Branch scent family, and Pansy perfectly rounds out my collection. Now I can always be certain that I will be surrounded by my favorite scent in the world. If you like florals, but always feel they are too sweet, then you will love Pansy.

I bought this on a whim with the Pansy gift set and I was a little surprised at how floral it was based in the description, but once it wears off a bit it's lovely. My mom worked at a head shop when I was young and this perfume sometimes reminds me of what she'd smell like coming home, a mix of all the different incense. Other times it reminds of dried tobacco or aged wood. It's very warm and comforting. I noticed some people think it's intended for men but I would say it's more unisex.

I now have 3 bottles of Pansy. If Lush ever discontinues this frag, I will literally stalk the CEO and force her/him into making me custom bottles. When I was little, my Aunt and my Grandmother wore the sweetest fragrance. I never knew what it was. It was sweet, musky, well blended and immediately generated a sense of calm happiness. It was, what I assumed, Heaven smelled like. 30 years and 20,000 perfume samples later, I have finally found that perfume again. Pansy is exquisite. Sweet, powdery, musky, soft and not at all sharp. Like a cloud from heaven. Perfection.

I fell in love with another Lush scent. I read a review that said they bought it as a summer alternative to Rentless. Spot on! I cannot wait for the weather to get warm so I can wear this ever changing scent. Adore it from the first morning spritz and long into the evening.

I walked into lush today looking to buy the olive branch body spray. the associate told me that they don't carry that product in store, and it would be discontinued to make way for the new body sprays and perfumes. super dissapointed, because i recently fell in love with the shower gel. thanks to the previous reviews of this product, i went to find this product. to me, it smells exactly like olive branch, which transports me to summer and salty air. just wish it was more concentrated like the previous lush perfume formulation. i can tell by the color of this product that it is really diluted with water, which is not right because this product is expensive. previous perfumes i've purchased have been expensive, but concentrated, so a few spritzes last the whole day and linger in my clothes

At first this starts of vibrant, fresh and a little tart. Sort of reminiscent of Junk mixed with the initial smell of 1000 Kisses. But after 20mins is when this perfume really shines oh my glob. Think of the smell of the air when you get off an airplane after landing somewhere hot and humid. That warm embrace. And then mix it with the smell of first noticing someone is baking in your house. But don't think the sweetness of gourmands, think the softest skin-like amber and wood or the smell of old books. "Warmth", "soft" and "skin" are the twords I think of most when i smell and the scent lasts all day on me and only keeps getting better. No singular ingredient sticks out after this perfume has sat on the skin for a while. The labdanum isn't noticeable like I find it is in 1000 Kisses, and the vanilla-like tones aren't as sweet as American Cream. It's really something.

If you like The Olive Branch and have always wanted to smell like it after a shower, buy this! I can't believe how good I smell. Actually can't stop smelling myself. Everyone around me turns their head. Just buy it. Tip: The sprays work better.
