Modification number 93
For Santal, something started to kick in around modification number 93. I felt we had something there that had the potential to be powerful. Then I got lost in hundreds of other trials to realize that the theme we had in 93 was lost. We decided to throw away a year of work and start back from there. The solution was a few moves away, adding a 'key' that unlocked the whole formula. That key is the secret of Santal that prevents all the copies out there of it from achieving the same effect.

The daily lemming
Lush lemming, day 2: the 29 High St shower jelly. Now, don't cringe, but it's supposed to smell like walking in a Lush store — hopefully, without the overload. "A clash of citrus, floral, and sweet scents collide in this refreshing treat to cleanse your skin and inspire your senses. The fragrance inside this jelly, named after the first ever Lush, was created in the labs that are still used today above the shop in Poole, Dorset.

Lemon and lime blend with ylang ylang and jasmine along with warming tonka absolute and sandalwood oil." 240g for £12 at Lush UK.
