Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lust
Lush Lust is unapologetically bold and notoriously divisive. It's a powerhouse jasmine that some find intoxicatingly carnal, while others recoil from its indolic intensity. You’ll either adore it or actively despise it; there’s no middle ground here.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Death and Decay
This polarizing scent lives up to its name, evoking a melancholic beauty that's either a stroke of genius or a scrubber. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans cherishing its unique, gothic floral character and detractors finding it far too literal in its 'decay'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lust

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Lush Lust's beast-mode projection and longevity make it entirely unsuitable for office wear, where it would overwhelm everyone. It's perfect for a bold date night or a special evening out where you want to make a statement, but too heavy for casual daytime use.

Death and Decay

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its intense, often indolic floral character and the polarising 'funeral home' association make it less suitable for casual or office wear. However, its unique and sophisticated profile, combined with good longevity, lends itself well to formal events or intimate dates where a darker, more intriguing aura is desired.
