Lush to BPAL scent comparisons (BNever included too)
hellsbelle replied to Vanilla's topic in Recommendations
A page back, Friendthegirl mused that Old Morocco and Potion would smell good together--she's right! Incense-y carnations, mmm mmm good. This is my favorite Lush/BPAL combo at this point, with HIWTK and O close behind. Add me to the list of people looking for Gavarnie/Flowertub/Jungle smell-a-likes. I ordered Rosalind and Water of Notre Dame in my last imps order, as they both seem to have that grassy element to them...here's hoping! -
This to me smells almost exactly like Snake Oil in the bottle. On me, it continues to smell like it, but less cloying, which is fabulous, as I loved Snake Oil, but it was just too heavy on me. I don't quite understand this, as there is apparently no vanilla in Vixen, but I'm not the only one who smells it, so I can't be TOO nuts. I love Vixen; very sexy in a slightly trampy way. Good to have around for those moments...

Cream, almonds, honey, in that order. Delicious. The Snowcake comparison is spot on. It reminds me of steamed milk with almond syrup and makes me feel fuzzy and girly. More for a lazy night in than a hot night out.

I got this as a freebie with my first order. It smelled SO amazing in the bottle, like an amazingly fancy and expensive garden. Sadly, it went sharp and old lady-ish almost immediately on me! I couldn't smell a lick of sandalwood, which I love. Ah well, that's what florals tend to do in my presence, sadly. I swapped it away to a pal.

I love this so. Perfectly combines spicy with sweetness. I can't usually wear florals, but carnation seems to be an exception to this rule. I love to wear this with Lush's Potion (must be the carnation.) It also pairs well with Karma stuff (must be the incense!) This lasts an insanely long time on me, and a little dab will do me.

Shadow, I agree, it's a heavy scent for summer. I wore it the other day when it was hot and humid out and felt as if I was suffocating. That said, this is my favorite scent so far! It is very lost lasting and smells just plain hott. The amber is especially strong on me, particularly at first, but the honey comes in pretty quickly and it is what seems to have the staying power. It pairs with Lush's B Never especially well. As an added bonus, my husband LOVES it and finds it super sexy. Aw yeah.
