Lust vs Vanillary

The r/fragrance community has mixed feelings about Lush Lust, with strong opinions on both sides. While the spray format impresses with longevity and receives compliments once the heady jasmine settles, many find the initial scent overwhelming or off-putting. Quality concerns about recent reformulations and poor performance of the solid format further divide opinions.

Vanillary is a highly polarizing Lush fragrance with devoted fans who find it a comforting, long-lasting vanilla scent, but equally vocal detractors who experience off-putting urine, yeast, or beer-like notes due to skin chemistry variations. The fragrance's performance appears inconsistent, with some attributing this to formula changes between the solid and current tin versions, making it a true "try before you buy" product.
