Over And Over Liquid Perfume

Growing up, I was always taught the value of money, mostly because my family didn't ever have enough to be anything but scrupulous in their spending. For this reason, when I found myself financially independent at nineteen, I became a little too frivolous with the abundance of cash that I found myself in credit of. It didn't take me long to realise that overspending led to negative consequences, and I was blessed with the common sense to learn from my lesson pretty quickly. 

Strangely however, one of the lessons that has stuck with me even to this day, is that more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better quality. In fact, I've realised this even more whilst on my travels throughout Asia recently - where the cheapest food in the most run-down of places has often turned out to be by far the best tasting food on my trip.  

This has further been proven with the release of Over And Over Liquid Perfume. Coming in at only £19 for 30ml, some would assume that it could not possibly be as complex or as interesting as the other fragrances priced up at double the amount. However, this could not be further from the truth.

While it does share its scent with Over And Over Bath Bomb, there are some differences here that set this liquid perfume apart from its older sibling. From the bottle, this gorgeous fragrance releases a bright and very zesty aroma. Unlike Calacas, the smell of this is super fresh and very natural: it's as if someone has grated the rind of a lime whilst squeezed a little of the juice at the same time.

Alongside this, the inclusion of a little orris oil adds a natural sweetness underneath the lime to ground it a little and keep it on the skin for longer than citrusy smells tend to usually linger for. The orris oil is delicately woody, without taking away from the strong note of lime, whilst the fennel brings a light, fresh herbal note that plays with the heat of your skin and and makes Over And Over a little more interesting on the nose than you would initial expect.

Within an hour of spraying it on myself, the perfume was still very much present on my body. I could still detect the zestiness of the lime peel alongside the delicate herbal note of the fennel. While this isn't one of Lush's more overpowering fragrances, there is something so beautiful about how strong yet equally as delicate it is when on the skin.

It didn't take me very long to fall head over heels in love with this perfume, and while the sun is still attempting to make itself known in England right now, this perfume will bring me sunshine on even the darkest of days. This is definitely worth the price tag that Lush are offering, and I can see me using this far more than any of the other perfumes in my collection.
