Big Lush, launched in 2018, is officially considered a unisex fragrance, drawing from the citrus family. The fragrance belongs to the Body Spray collection. Offered in fragrant mist concentration.
It has a delicate sillage, staying close and personal. Longevity is moderate — not too much, not too little, just right. Behind this fragrance stands the United Kingdom and its rich perfumery heritage. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A weightless, fragrant veil with a light concentration delicately refreshes the skin and gives a feeling of cleanliness and comfort
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Big unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Lush is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Fragrant mist supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
Without strict stage separation the opening appears as one connected movement with a energetic fresh mood: Mandarin, Neroli and Orange blossom. Here 3 notes work as one integrated frame, creating a burst of citrus freshness that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The deeper layers are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Citrus and Floral without random overlap. The gender direction is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In longevity terms Middle suggests confident staying power.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Floral and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Citrus.
Overall Big reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.
