Lush The Smell of Freedom is a fragrance launched in 2010, created by Simon Constantine. Lush's The Smell of Freedom carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper enigma. Divisive, complex, and shifts dramatically on skin, The Smell of Freedom is a love-it-or-hate-it scent that defies easy categorisation. You'll either get a bold, warm hug or a sharp, challenging mess.

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.

About

Opening with a fiery, zesty kick of ginger and lemongrass, this scent immediately grabs your attention. It then settles into a more nuanced heart, where spicy clove and pepper entwine with delicate jasmine and iris, creating a vibrant yet earthy core. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated blend of deep woody notes, including a subtle oud and creamy sandalwood, softened by hints of neroli, leaving a warm and comforting trail.
