Lush's 2025 body spray: the scent of clean air after a downpour, surprisingly sophisticated.

Scent Journey
The first spray bursts with a bright, zesty blend of neroli and bergamot, creating an uplifting citrus-herbal aura. A green, slightly spicy facet from basil emerges almost immediately, reminiscent of crushed leaves after rain.
As the top notes fade, the heart reveals a soft floral bouquet intertwined with basil's aromatic freshness. The scent becomes more rounded and slightly powdery, with a clean, airy quality that feels like stepping into a cool, misty morning.
The base settles into a musky, woody embrace with palisander rosewood adding a creamy, slightly sweet undertone. A powdery musk lingers on the skin, evoking the comfort of fresh laundry and the crispness of cold air after a downpour.
