Lush Flower's Barrow is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Mark Constantine and Simon Constantine. Lush's Flower's Barrow carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly divisive Lush creation. If you're a geranium fiend, you've found your holy grail. For everyone else, it's either a quirky, comforting herbal dream or an overpowering 'grandma' soap that's just too much.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, but the strong herbal and floral character might be too distinctive for all office settings. It's ideal for casual wear and unique dates, offering a comforting yet intriguing presence, but generally too earthy for formal events.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Flower's Barrow opens with a potent, almost sharp geranium, quickly joined by the classic romance of rose. This floral heart is then given a unique twist by a juicy, wine-like blackcurrant, which adds a surprising tartness. As it settles, earthy sage and aromatic thyme emerge, weaving through the florals to create a complex, almost Gothic herbal blend. It's like wandering through a wild, overgrown English garden after a rain shower.
