Grass Perfume Oil

Sometimes I find myself lost for words, which is why I give myself a few days of rest before I continue to blog about the products I've been using. Other times, I find it difficult to describe something in a way that will allow others to experience the fragrances in the same way that I did. When this happens, I often turn to the company themselves to help me out. 

Lush describe Grass Perfume Oil as being like 'the first flushes of summer', and I couldn't agree more. There is something so light and summery about this fragrance that genuinely makes me feel warmer just from the smell it offers from the bottle. The company go on to say that this limited edition is like 'freshly cut grass meets arresting neroli, with just a hint of violet.' They describe the aroma as having earthy notes of sandalwood; a touch of smokiness; a little herbal kick; and a splash of fruitiness. When I read this statement out loud, I envisage a perfume that is heavy and condensed, and far more complex than I genuinely think it smells and acts on the skin.

Just like the liquid perfume, my nose immediately picked up on the fact that this is far more like the aforementioned bubble bar than the shower gel. While this limited edition replicates the scent family really well, the shower gel is slightly heavier when in use, whereas the bubble bar is lighter and more crisp on the senses. This perfume oil is more like the latter, and so much like the liquid perfume it's amazing: so much so that I'm going to describe it in the same manner.

As its name suggests, this perfume oil smells like a freshly cut lawn, with the dampness of the soil underneath and the sweetness of the sunshine entangled in a bouquet of pure bliss. The bergamot and neroli oils work together to create a smell that is fresh and light, whilst also offering a natural sweetness that can only be replicated if you head outside to smell the actual grass in your garden. Finally, the sandalwood adds a subtle note of woodiness, albeit very low down in the mix, which works as a base on which the other ingredients simply flourish.

On the skin, Grass Perfume Oil offers all of the above, although the aroma dampens a little after the first couple of minutes. Mixing with the air allows the sweetness, the crisp notes of neroli, and the greeness of the bergamot to elevate themselves, so you can smell this wonderful fragrance ever time you whip your arm past your nose, or a gust of wind disturbs the perfume again. Fans of this aroma will be incredibly pleased with the creation of this product and as somebody, who like I said, doesn't class this as a personal favourite, even I was bowled over by how delicious this perfume oil is.

Just like all of the other perfume oils, this one can be used in one of many ways, which is what makes these little bottles of oils so versatile. The traditional way is to actually apply the oil directly to your clothes, which you can do so by popping a couple of drops into the palm of your hands; massaging it between your hands; and then gently stroking your hands across your clothes to allow for even courage. The perfume oil doesn't actually absorb into your skin at first so you can do this without losing very much on your hands, and I found that the scent lasted longer when I applied it like this, compared to how long it lasted when I dabbed a little on my skin.

The reason why you're supposed to do it this way, and not apply it directly to your clothes, is that it's very difficult to control the amount of oils that come out of the bottle at any one time. Too much oil applied to a piece of clothing could potentially cause permanent oil stains, which are very hard to remove. Furthermore, it also makes it very difficult to spread the oil across a large space, as it will have automatically soaked into the garment as soon as it made contact with it.

As most consumers will no doubt want to do by default, you can also apply the perfume directly to your pulse points: your inner wrists, your temples, and even along your jawline. Simply dab a little of the oil straight from the bottle to these areas, and then briefly massage a little to stimulate the oils from the heat of your skin. The warmth of your body will help to strengthen the sillage of the fragrance, and help it to remain on the skin for as long as possible.


As I tend to do with my solid perfumes, you can also apply this to your beard, or ends of your hair, to carry the perfume in another manner. In fact, this is probably my favourite way of wearing solid perfumes and perfume oils because every slight breeze will offer you a little taste of the smell you are using. In addition, the oils featured in the ingredients will also help to moisturise your hair a little whilst its on there.

What was interesting about Grass Perfume Oil was that it seemed to outlast the liquid version when applied to my skin. I could still smell remnants of the oils 2-3 hours after I had initially applied them on my pulse points, and probably close to four hours on my clothing I was wearing. While it wasn't an aroma that was particularly powerful, a little gust of wind would remind me of the neroli and bergamot in short, sharp bursts throughout the day.

Surprisingly, this is my favourite perfume oil from the selection that Lush released a couple of weeks ago, and I will be carrying this little beauty with me when I travel to Europe for Christmas. As it's not possible for somebody to bottle the summer, this is the closest we are ever going to get to making it a reality. What a lovely surprise!

Butterball Perfume Oil

Although I've been using this perfume oil longer than any of the others, I have purposely chosen to leave the review of this until now, simply because I have been very unsure of what to make of it. I certainly don't want any of my reviews to be in any way misleading, and I also don't want to be negative about a product without good reason. However, I feel as if I have had enough experience of using Butterball Perfume Oil to know where I stand with this release.

One of five brand new perfume oils to be released from Lush a couple of weeks ago, this scent is one of my go-to fragrances over the winter period. There is something so beautiful and elegant about the scent of this that proves itself time and time again to be amazingly comforting. While simplistic and not a personal favourite, I was actually really excited about trying both this and the liquid perfume out. My interest was roused even further when I removed the lid of this oil and took my first sniff.

From the bottle, Butterball smells almost identical to that of the original bath bomb it is based on. My nose detected a wonderfully warm, rounded vanilla smell, with a light muskiness about it that fans of this aroma will know and love. The subtle tracings of ylang ylang sat under the surface - elevating the fragrance just slightly and adding a gentle, floral aroma.

How it differed very slightly from the bath bomb, and more noticeably from the body lotion, body conditioner and shower jelly, is that the inclusion of the cocoa butter smell was not as prominent as it has been known to be in these other formats. The smell on offer here is far lighter and more powdery, and not as chocolately at all.

On my skin, Butterball Perfume Oil offered near-on the exact same smell. While it did dampen a little over the first matter of minutes, the vanilla absolute was definitely the leading note overall. Wearing this scent felt very much as if I had sprinkled a load of icing sugar onto my skin and added a touch of cocoa butter to the mix.

As I have explained in my reviews of all of the perfume oils, these products can be used in one of many ways, which is what makes these little bottles of oils so versatile. The traditional way is to actually apply the oil directly to your clothes, which you can do so by popping a couple of drops into the palm of your hands; massaging it between your hands; and then gently stroking your hands across your clothes to allow for even courage.

The reason why you're supposed to do it this way, and not apply it directly to your clothes, is that it's very difficult to control the amount of oils that come out of the bottle at any one time. Too much oil applied to a piece of clothing could potentially cause permanent oil stains, which are very hard to remove. Furthermore, it also makes it very difficult to spread the oil across a large space, as it will have automatically soaked into the garment as soon as it made contact with it.

As most consumers will no doubt want to do by default, you can also apply the perfume directly to your pulse points: your inner wrists, your temples, and even along your jawline. Simply dab a little of the oil straight from the bottle to these areas, and then briefly massage a little to stimulate the oils from the heat of your skin. The warmth of your body will help to strengthen the sillage of the fragrance, and help it to remain on the skin for as long as possible.

As I tend to do with my solid perfumes, you can also apply this to your beard, or ends of your hair, to carry the perfume in another manner. In fact, this is probably my favourite way of wearing solid perfumes and perfume oils because every slight breeze will offer you a little taste of the smell you are using. In addition, the oils featured in the ingredients will also help to moisturise your hair a little whilst its on there.

When it came to Butterball, I chose to try it on my skin, clothes and hair, and see which method heeded the strongest and longest lasting results. What I found was that applying it to my clothes helped this oil to stay with me for a good 3-4 hours, whereas on the hair and skin it tended to fade within the first hour.

Unlike some of the other oils, I found that once this one had been on the skin for around 45 minutes, I could no longer smell it at all. Even straining my nose didn't result in me getting even the slightest whiff of this scent at all, which is what made it disappointing. 

I'll be honest and say that the liquid perfume didn't have the longest life either. However, I only had to reapply it a single time to see me through the day. With Butterball Perfume Oil, I found that I was having to reapply every hour, if I wanted to appreciate the smell, and this just isn't conducive to anyone's daily schedule.

Overall, while the smell is a good replica of this fragrance family, the longevity of the smell lets the oil down immensely. I've heard that some consumers like to use their solid perfumes as replacements for wax melts, and I'm wondering whether or not the same could be done with the perfume oils. This might be  a great way of experiencing the smell in a more intense manner, and I'm almost tempted to buy a oil burner to find out for myself.

Lord Of Misrule Perfume Oil

Let’s be honest: the Lord Of Misrule fragrance family has expanded perhaps more than any other recently created scent from Lush. And when I say recent, I mean within the last ten years. There’s a good reason why it has become so popular, because not only is it both complex and beautiful, but there are just so many different characteristics to the smell that make it appealing to a vast number of consumers.

If you’re looking something for a bit earthy, it’s featured here; fancy something more warming and creamy, Lord Of Misrule will encase you in its beauty; if you care for the more spicy scents, you’ve found your match in this smell. In my personal opinion, it is the most beautiful fragrance that Lush have ever created to date, and it would take something extraordinary to knock this smell from my number one spot.

For these very reasons, I was excited to finally get my hands on Lord Of Misrule Perfume Oil: one of five limited edition oils to be released from Lush earlier last week. Surprisingly, this wasn’t the first oil that I decided to try and review, but it’s definitely the one I have grown to favour the most. That’s not to say that it doesn’t have its flaws, which I shall be detailing below. However, most Lord Of Misrule fans will definitely grow to appreciate this limited edition in at least some small way.

As I’ve mentioned in other reviews, and will probably do so in future ones as well, a perfume oil can be used in one of many ways, which is what makes these little bottles of oils so versatile. The traditional way is to actually apply the oil directly to your clothes, which you can do so by popping a couple of drops into the palm of your hands; massaging it between your hands; and then gently stroking your hands across your clothes to allow for even courage. The perfume oil doesn't actually absorb into your skin at first so you can do this without losing very much on your hands, and I found that the scent lasted longer when I applied it like this, compared to how long it lasted when I dabbed a little on my skin.

The reason why you're supposed to do it this way, and not apply it directly to your clothes, is that it's very difficult to control the amount of oils that come out of the bottle at any one time. Too much oil applied to a piece of clothing could potentially cause permanent oil stains, which are very hard to remove. Furthermore, it also makes it very difficult to spread the oil across a large space, as it will have automatically soaked into the garment as soon as it made contact with it.

As most consumers will no doubt want to do by default, you can also apply the perfume directly to your pulse points: your inner wrists, your temples, and even along your jawline. Simply dab a little of the oil straight from the bottle to these areas, and then briefly massage a little to stimulate the oils from the heat of your skin. The warmth of your body will help to strengthen the sillage of the fragrance, and help it to remain on the skin for as long as possible.

As I tend to do with my solid perfumes, you can also apply this to your beard, or ends of your hair, to carry the perfume in another manner. In fact, this is probably my favourite way of wearing solid perfumes and perfume oils because every slight breeze will offer you a little taste of the smell you are using. In addition, the oils featured in the ingredients will also help to moisturise your hair a little whilst its on there.

What I should say about Lord Of Misrule Perfume Oil is that it differs quite considerably from both the bath bomb, and indeed the body lotion that came out earlier this year. For me, the thread of vanilla that usually rounds the patchouli off with a creamy touch, wasn’t at all as present as I was expecting. With the bath bomb, you can smell both the powdery element of the format itself, and the vanilla absolute very clearly, as it creates a light, delicate sweetness that carries forth into the bath. When it came to this perfume oil, the vanilla is very much hidden behind the other elements. Don’t get me wrong, there is definitely a touch of sweetness that must come from the inclusion of the vanilla, but it doesn’t make the same impression as it does do in other formats.

Instead, LOM Perfume Oil seems to be mostly focussed on the patchouli, which offers a spicy, earthy fragrance to my nose. Whereas the vanilla usually thickens the scent and makes it more rounded, the lack its presence means that this perfume oil is far lighter and ‘crispier’, if that makes any sense. The patchouli is by far the most domineering part and the other ingredients have seemingly fallen asleep backstage. When it’s a beautiful scent, and very in-keeping with the liquid perfume that was released at the same time, it is definitely not as wholesome as its older siblings.

On the skin, I found that this perfume oil seemed to last longer at the beginning but faded over time a lot quicker. Once it had been applied, I could still detect its beautiful fragrance from afar, for a good forty minutes on my skin. Every time the wind blew in my direction or clothes moved a little, a new burst of warming patchouli flooded my senses. However, after this time I found that the scent dissipated far more quickly than I would have liked. In fact, within two hours after I originally applied the oil, I could barely smell anything on my skin at all.

The perfume oil did last a little longer on my clothing, but again it wasn’t strong enough for me to detect unless I shoved my garment right under my nose, and I certainly didn’t receive any compliments regarding this fragrance. While this is not the sole reason why I choose to wear perfume most days, it definitely showed that the weakness of this oil as I could always get compliments about the original LOM Liquid perfume.

As I will say in all of my reviews of the liquid oils, I will be continuing to experiment with different ways to make the most out of the fragrance available, and these at least make cute little compact bottles to carry with you if you want to sniff your favourite scent throughout the day. However, there is not enough impact from this perfume oil to make it worth an investment above the liquid version.

For this reason, I would say that Lord Of Misrule Perfume Oil is perhaps my least favourite product in this format, and would certainly not be strong enough to replace my love for the body sprays and liquid perfumes. I can only hope that this perfume oil matures over the coming weeks/months and does something amazing when I next have the opportunity to try it out.

Yog Nog Perfume Oil

Whether it's the Harry potter fan in me or something far more removed, there is something rather magical to be had with a miniature bottle of oil. Over the last couple of months, I have been using less bath bombs, and instead opting for a few drops of an essential oil to stimulate my senses instead. While this option is in no way as colourful or as fragrant as one of Lush's bombs or bubble bars, I've really enjoyed cocktailing some of my favourite ingredients into my homemade bath.

That's not to say that Lush's new range of perfume oils could do the same job, as these exclusives are far more diluted than an essential oil. However, these brand new releases have already showcased an array of different uses, and I'm sure I'll be able to discover a few more over time.

Yog Nog is one of five brand new perfume oils to be released from Lush and is a fragrance perfect for this time of year. Much like the liquid perfume, body lotion, bubble bar and bath bomb, this limited edition offers a smell that'll make you want to eat something naughty, so I'd recommend that you hold off applying this if you're feeling particularly hungry at that moment.

As I mentioned above, a perfume oil can be used in one of many ways, which is what makes these little bottles of oils so versatile. The traditional way is to actually apply the oil directly to your clothes, which you can do so by popping a couple of drops into the palm of your hands; massaging it between your hands; and then gently stroking your hands across your clothes to allow for even courage. The perfume oil doesn't actually absorb into your skin at first so you can do this without losing very much on your hands, and I found that the scent lasted longer when I applied it like this, compared to how long it lasted when I dabbed a little on my skin.

The reason why you're supposed to do it this way, and not apply it directly to your clothes, is that it's very difficult to control the amount of oils that come out of the bottle at any one time. Too much oil applied to a piece of clothing could potentially cause permanent oil stains, which are very hard to remove. Furthermore, it also makes it very difficult to spread the oil across a large space, as it will have automatically soaked into the garment as soon as it made contact with it.

As most consumers will no doubt want to do by default, you can also apply the perfume directly to your pulse points: your inner wrists, your temples, and even along your jawline. Simply dab a little of the oil straight from the bottle to these areas, and then briefly massage a little to stimulate the oils from the heat of your skin. The warmth of your body will help to strengthen the sillage of the fragrance, and help it to remain on the skin for as long as possible.

As I tend to do with my solid perfumes, you can also apply this to your beard, or ends of your hair, to carry the perfume in another manner. In fact, this is probably my favourite way of wearing solid perfumes and perfume oils because every slight breeze will offer you a little taste of the smell you are using. In addition, the oils featured in the ingredients will also help to moisturise your hair a little whilst its on there.

I should start by saying that Yog Nog Perfume Oil is a wonderful little bottle of scent: one that I've been carrying around with me for the past couple of days and sniffing it at every opportunity. While it differs from the other Yog Nog scented products a little, it is probably closest to the recent liquid perfume that Lush brought out alongside this release.

From the bottle, you get an intense, buttery combination of caramel and cocoa butter. The smell is velvety-soft and sweet, and my mouth automatically begins to salivate each and every time my nose picks up this wonderful smell. On initial smells, I would compare this perfume oil to the likes of the recently released body lotion, as there's something so sultry about it that you just don't get in some of the other formats. 

Once on your skin, these intense notes settle down quite quickly. Within a few minutes of application, the strong, wholesome smell disappears quite a bit, and you're instead left with something a little more powdery and not so buttery. It is here that the clove bud and ylang ylang oils become a lot stronger: the former offering a warming, delicately spicy note; whilst the latter showcasing a light, musky, sweet note.

I'll be honest and say that once on the skin, Yog Nog Perfume Oil loses its magic a little and doesn't appear to be particularly creamy at this point. While each of the notes that make up Yog Nog are there, it's not as rounded or as thick and buttery.Fans may notice that this is the same for the recently released liquid perfume.

What is impressive about this perfume oil is that once it had settled on the skin/clothes, I could still smell it almost eight hours later. Although it wasn't that strong after being on the skin for about forty minutes, when it did finally settle, the fragrance didn't really weaken that much across the expanse of the day. Using it on my hair also heeded similar results, and I even received a few compliments about the 'shampoo' I was using because of how much it left an impression for the duration of the day. 

Strangely, this perfume oil seemed to outlast the liquid perfume, in terms of longevity on the skin, although the bottled fragrance offered a more intense experience overall. Having tried it on my clothes, I was super impressed to find that this simply prolonged the life of the perfume oil while I was wearing it. The way these oils have been formulated must mean that the product clings to fabrics a lot better than liquid perfumes, and this shows in how much longer they last on your body.

Overall, I am definitely going to continue using these little gems on my body, hair and clothing, to see how I can make the most out of these perfume oils. Although I still wish that the scent of this could be much more intense as an oil, I can appreciate how long the oils last, and how versatile they are. They also make better travel companions than the liquid perfumes, as they are smaller and easier to carry, and can fit far easier in a purse or wallet if you want to top up throughout the day/night. I will definitely be taking Yog Nog Perfume Oil with me when I travel abroad for Christmas.
