In the quiet seaside town of Poole, England, father and son team Mark and Simon Constantine work as a dynamic, creative force, inventing all new perfumes that defy scent expectations. Inspired by art, music, memories, people and stories, each perfume tells a tale and evokes emotion. Gorilla Perfume is an antidote to boring, mass-market scents, and a movement to get people excited about good quality fragrance. ~ LUSH
Recently I was treated to a exotic sensory evening hosted by LUSH SA to launch their new range of LUSH Gorilla Perfumes. I thought I would share a few of the photographs I took during our dramatic olfactory experience .
Hellstone ~ Heavy joboba and beeswax, anointing the skin with a sensual, warm undertone.
Sun – Vibrant, zesty orange, tangy tangerine and mimosa fizz recline atop sultry sandalwood for a true taste of the Sun. (This was my favourite!)
Sikkim Girls ~ The frangipani, jasmine, vanilla and tuberose conjure up exotic climes and heady possibilities.
Euphoria ~ Essential oils including clary sage, grapefruit, lime and neroli to make a scent that is light, clarifying and expanding.
Flowers Barrow ~ Ripe, bursting blackcurrant and sweet geranium are the tang of sea air and the wild plants that entwine against ancient stone in a leafy embrace.
A big thank you to Katie and the LUSH V&A crew for a wonderfully fun evening! If you would like to find out more about the Gorilla Perfumes I encourage you to pop in to the V&A Waterfront store and experience them for yourself!
If you would like to be kept up-to-date with all the Lush happenings you can follow them on FaceBook & Twitter.
Thats pretty innovating stuff – I hate the high street and over commercialization of the cosmetic industry these days so if I am ever local I will check these out. I wonder how long the smell lasts on these though, that would be my only worry.
Hi Kayla thanks for the comment – the fragrance does last I did a few tester cards and you can still smell the distinct scents – some of them are quite strong but fragrance is all about personal taste! My favourite is Sun – more of a citrus scent, which is lovely and fresh but they are really worth checking out when you are in CT 🙂
