Lush Sticky Dates is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Alessandro Commisso. Sticky Dates opens with Benzoin, settles into a heart of Caramel, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Lush's Sticky Dates carries an Acquired verdict, a caramel-led wear.

Sticky Dates is a polarizing gourmand beast that smells like an actual bakery, not a perfume. You'll either love smelling like caramel lava or find it sickly sweet and overwhelming. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as its intensity and singular focus on dessert notes make it a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its beast-mode projection and intense sweetness make it completely unsuitable for the office or formal events, where subtlety is key. It can work for a casual night out or a date if applied lightly, but many find it too much for most social situations. Best kept for cozy, relaxed settings or as a room spray.

About

An unapologetic assault of rich, warm caramel, Sticky Dates delivers an intensely sweet, edible experience. The caramel accord dominates, conjuring images of melted toffee pudding with a syrupy, almost liqueur-like depth. Benzoin and sandalwood lend a balsamic warmth and a creamy, slightly smoky undercurrent, but this scent is overwhelmingly about the unctuous sweetness of dates and burnt sugar. It's a photorealistic dessert in a bottle, designed to make you smell utterly delicious, or nauseating, depending on your tolerance for extreme gourmands.
