By the editors · 2 min read# Lush Lust (2010)
Lust opens with a dense floral wave anchored by jasmine and ylang-ylang, their heady sweetness immediately prominent. The jasmine feels full-bodied rather than delicate, almost indolic in its intensity, while a whisper of sandalwood adds warmth without competing for attention. The vanilla that appears in the base is soft and powdery, rounding out the sharper edges without turning gourmand.
As it settles, the composition becomes more cohesive—less a collection of notes than a single enveloping presence. The florals remain central but feel subdued by the creamy sandalwood-vanilla foundation, creating an effect that's intimate without being light.
This is white florals for those who prefer them opulent rather than crisp. Lust suits evening wear and cooler weather, appealing to anyone drawn to vintage-leaning femininity with a contemporary directness. It makes its presence known but wears closer to the skin than its opening suggests.
