Lush Go Green & new solid perfume line ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 13 October 2007 26 Comments

Lush Go Green fragranceLush has launched a new fragrance, Go Green, and a range of solid perfumes in many of their most popular scents. Go Green was...

...inspired by environmental activist, Rebecca Lush (honest, that really is her name) who now works for Transport 2000, heading up Road Block [...] It`s a refreshing blend of grapefruit, bergamot and neroli, with calming smoky vetivert. Herby scents of fennel, thyme and cedar wood make you smell like you just walked out of a forest, carrying a basket of citrus fruits, rather than you just got off a squashed train or a bicycle.

Go Green is available in a "fragrance spritzer", shown above, or in the new solid perfume range. The solid perfumes are preservative-free, and use a base of cocoa butter, carnauba wax and jojoba oil. The packaging is recyclable aluminum. In addition to Go Green, they are available in:

Lush Silky Underwear Solid Perfume

Silky Underwear (shown) ~ jasmine with vetivert.

Karma ~ Lush's signature fragrance, with patchouli and orange.

Honey I Washed The Kid ~ honey and toffee, and long one of Lush's best-selling soaps.

Potion ~ spicy carnations with rose and tangerine.

Fever ~ "designed to smell as sensual as Peggy Lee singing ‘Fever’", with jasmine, rose and sandalwood.

American Cream ~ strawberry honey milkshake, from the conditioner of the same name.

All of the above are available now on the UK Lush website. The US site shows the solid perfumes as coming "in time for the holidays", along with 2 scents not listed above, Dirty, described as "herbal spicy", and Champagne Snow Showers, with "wild oranges & cognac". (via lush)

    What's the price point on these? If it's low, they sound kind of cute. But that spritzer! It looks exactly like the bottle of organic pest control I use to spray my tomatoes. (The name is similar, too.)

    Don't know how they'll be priced in the US, but UK prices are £9.95 for the Go Green, £4.95 for the solids. Not too bad.

    And I know Lush does low key packaging and I don't usually mind, but have to agree — that spritzer is just hideous!!

    Thank you for this great news! I adore Fever & American Cream – I managed to get a bottle of the limited release Fever perfume and wore it on my honeymoon, and I've been terrified that I'd never be able to find it again after I finish this bottle. I'm delighted to look forward to the solid version at a reasonable price

    From reading the Lush Xmas catalogue that I received yesterday, the whole point of the Go Green thing is that it is ethical. So a yes, hideous, 'just grabbed the kitchen cleaner' spray bottle, beceause it's recyclable and refillable. Though to be honest, I can't see why they couldn't have gone for a nicer shaped bottle and still used recycled plastic etc.

    Heck, glass is the ultimate in recyclable but I don't suppose a nice simple glass bottle would grab as much attention as this. I assume they've looked at their market – they traditionally target the student/hippy population, though their things are quite pricey for that group.

    I'll certainly be trying the Go Green scent when I'm next near my local Lush and I know I'll be buying a few of those solid perfumes. I already love Karma and wear one of their temple balms as a solid perfume (Flying Fox – lots of jasmine).

    I should think you could do recyclable & refillable without being ugly — I don't see why ethical need be ugly. But would guess I'll be buying a few of the solids myself :-)

    Haven't smelled either, but Fever sounds lovely! American Cream sounds like maybe it will be too sweet for me, but we'll see.

    O-kay . . . bottles aren't usually a dealbreaker, but that bottle has to go.

    Do what they used to do before perfumes were so heavily branded–buy a nice bottle and decant. (You'd buy your favourite scent in a plain glass flacon and get a gorgeous glass or crystal bottle to fill.)

    I don't even really like walking into a Lush because the smell is so overwhelming (and I usually have a really high tolerance for that sort of thing), but, so help me, I want to buy all eight of the solids just after reading about them. Well, I really want the honey-toffee and the carnation ones (and maybe the orange-patchouli as well), and then I'd want the rest out of a sense of completion.

    I don't know how American Cream perfume will compare to the hair conditioner of the same scent, but I can't think of anything less strawberry milkshake than AC! When I use it in the shower, my husband says “it smells like you're burning incense in your hair” due to the healthy does of benzoin. It's a fascinating scent for a hair product – I hope that translates well to a solid perfume.

    The stores really are HIGHLY scented. Am interested to see how that works now that they're going into selected Macy's store — the whole beauty dept might now be unbearable.

    I really loved Potion in its original lotion form. It was so moisturizing, and it had a heavenly fragrance (which layered very well with Bellodgia!). I hope that the perfume solid has captured its scent. I'd be even happier if Lush would bring back the Potion lotion. Grrr.

    I am kind of lucky, I guess, that there isn't a Lush anywhere near me. Seems like people get attached to products and then the products get axed?? I know they are going into some Macys stores, so was kind of hoping I'd end up with one not too far away, but I'm going to try not to fall in love with something, LOL…

    Hello Robin, we have Lush right here in the centre of Prague, about ten minutes walking from where I live. I know Lush from Toronto where I've live for some years but didn't pay much attention to Lush there. Your review made me curious so I'll go and have a look this week. The bottle is just like a household product indeed but I like the humor of it.

    This summer I spent my holidays at the Cote d'Azur and in the coutryside The Provence very lovely smelling soaps are for sale at every local market. Chocolate, lemon, lavender and many many more scents we saw and smelled…delicious and a very nice idea to bring home as a gift. We were close to Grasse the perfume capital and that is worth is visit as well. But I'll go Lush now.

    I envy you being 10 minutes from the center of Prague, Lush or no Lush! But hope you'll like the Go Green, do report back if you smell it.

    My favorite scent from them is Youki-Hi, which is unfortunately not there.

    Hi, it's a little bit late but went to Lush today and I must say that I felt a bit dissappointed.. the scents in the store are overwhelming, everything mixed together. Go Green just didn't appeal to me at all. Spritzed some 'Karma' on my wrist and wished I didn't because couldn't scrub it off right away and had a lunch in a Korean restaurant after that. 'Karma' took some of my appetite away really. I know that the quality of their soaps is quite good but it was just all too much.

    Karma is VERY strong, as is the overall smell in the store. But still hoping to try some of the solids. I do love some of the soaps.

    I bought myself Potion the other week and have been wearing it every day layered with Black Cashmere for an all-enveloping, spicy winter hit. It has a lovely clove/carnation smell which works really well with the incense hit from BC.

    Have had lots of 'oooh… you smell nice' comments…

    Btw – hello! Have been reading your blog for a while but only worked out yesterday how to subscribe to post comments (rollseyes at self). You're really not helping my perfume addiction. I've also just discovered 'The Perfumed Court' so I'm starting to fear for my bank balance… ;-D

    I used to LOVE potion lotion too. I layered with Michael!!

    I haven't been into Lush lately because I hate to park downtown but I will definitely be headed there soon for my wintertime doses of lotions and conditioners. Karma is kind of like a warm cuddly sweater and a cup of hot chocolate for me. Not something I need to think about on this August day!
