Lush Breath Of God is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Simon Constantine. Breath Of God settles into a heart of Lemon, Grapefruit, Neroli, and Cedar. Lush's Breath Of God carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent - seriously divisive, but those who love it, absolutely adore it. It's a challenging wear with an intense opening, but the deep, meditative drydown makes it a cult classic for the unconventional.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given its strong opening and significant sillage, Breath of God is less suited for office or formal settings where subtlety is key. It shines in casual and date scenarios, particularly during evenings, as its unique and sensual character can be captivating without being overwhelming once it settles.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Breath of God opens with an unexpected, almost jarring rush of smoky vetiver and bright, zesty lemon and grapefruit. This quickly mellows, revealing a complex heart of sweet, watery melon, cool juniper, and the warm, slightly medicinal spice of incense. The drydown is a deeply woody and balsamic affair, with cedar and sandalwood providing a contemplative backdrop to the lingering smoky sweetness, maintaining a surprising balance between freshness and depth.
