Lush Cardamom Coffee is a fragrance launched in 2016, created by Simon Constantine. Lush's Cardamom Coffee carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive and wildly overpriced, but for those who get the right skin chemistry, this is a beautiful, complex, spicy gourmand that's perfect for autumn nights by the fire. Others find it linear, too sweet, or just plain weird.

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.

About

Cardamom Coffee opens with a powerful, realistic blast of black coffee, quickly joined by an intense, sweet cardamom that evokes rich desserts or spiced beverages. As it settles, hints of rose and a subtle oud emerge, adding a dark, almost chocolatey depth. The drydown retains that warm, spicy character, with the woody olive tree note grounding the composition.
