On my skin, the opening is a blast of very dark, green, smoky herbs; l do not get any mint at all. This quickly develops into a quite disturbing smell of burning rubber, which persists strongly for a couple of hours before morphing into an ozonic, marine accord with floral elements. Five hours later, this stage is still detectable. This scent is supposed to evoke the smells experienced before, during & after a passing storm, & l'd say it kind of achieves that. The midphase is certainly dark & troubling, & after this fades it really does feel as if the storm has passed, the sun has come out, & the flowers are exhaling in the fresh, rain-washed air. This isn't something l could wear, but it's certainly an unusual & complex fragrance. lt's good to know that Lush are producing something that's a bit "out there", rather than just appealing to mainstream tastes. Those with a taste for the wierd & wonderful should love it.
