Lush Junk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Emma Dick. Junk settles into a heart of Lemon, Mandarin, Blackcurrant, and Rosemary. Lush's Junk carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing perfumistas with its audacious blend. Some reckon it's a medicinal marvel, others are left wondering if they've spritzed cough syrup. Definitely a Marmite scent - you'll either adore its quirky charm or recoil.

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 bold and potentially divisive character, with strong sillage and medicinal undertones, makes it less ideal for formal settings or the office. However, its fresh and unique profile, along with mentions of it being good for summer and casual outings, suit relaxed and active scenarios.

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

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

Imagine a burst of sharp lemon and zesty mandarin, swiftly followed by a heady hit of tart blackcurrant. As it settles, earthy sage and aromatic rosemary emerge, creating a mentholated, herbaceous depth that lingers - sometimes medicinal, sometimes invigorating. It's a fruity, herbal contradiction that keeps you guessing.
