Lush Pansy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993, created by Mark Constantine. Pansy opens with Orange Blossom and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Bergamot, and Blackberry, and dries down to a base of Labdanum and Galbanum. Lush's Pansy carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Pansy is a divisive, quirky scent that evokes a very specific, earthy green vibe. Many find it cosy and calming, but for some, the prominent herbal notes lean too masculine or even off-putting. Definitely not a blind buy.

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 projection and intimate sillage make it suitable for office wear, while its soft, comforting nature lends itself well to casual settings. It's generally not seen as formal due to its green, earthy profile, and opinions are mixed for dating, with some finding it sexy and others too 'old-fashioned'.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Pansy opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and orange blossom, quickly joined by the pungent, aromatic greenery of rosemary. Blackcurrant provides a tart, fruity counterpoint, while galbanum and labdanum in the base ground it with a warm, earthy, slightly resinous depth. The overall impression is a soft, herbal floral with a distinct green edge.
