Lush is a bombastic realistic jasmine in the major sense of the word. And even though there are many comparisons, mostly to Jasmin Rouge and A la Nuit, they eat Lust's dust. Lust is basically a jasmine soliflore on steroids. There's a lot of bubblegum sweetness and A LOT of indolic funk. Rose tries to enter the party, but is quickly pushed to the back, where the sandalwood is getting ready to make an entrance. And btw, the sandalwood smells amazingly creamy, even though it is not Mysore. But veeery close. Jasmine, sandalwood... First thing that came to my mind before trying, and just by reading the notes, was Samsara. Not by a long shot; they share nothing but a common feature. Armed with powerful sillage, projection and longevity, Lust would fit right in with the most notorious bad boys from the 80's. Whether you'll like it or not, it depends on how you feel about jasmine. Lust can easily turn you into a convert, even if jasmine is not your thing. It can also make you hate it more than you think you do. Just 1 spray and you're set. Red liquid stains clothes, so apply with caution if you're wearing white or light colored clothing. And mysteriously, it works wonders under a suit and tie! Massive sillage and longevity.
