This was made for the first time exclusively for the monthly lush subscription box for may 2025.

As the label explains When Lush was a company in the 90’s called Cosmetics to Go they made a shampoo called Serpentine. Later in the mid 2000’s lush had built a sister company called b never too busy to be beautiful and they sold serpentine shampoo. I absolutely loved the shampoo. The scent was great and stayed in my hair until the day after. So i was pleasantly surprised to discover that lush was making a shower gel from Serpentine.

It smells Earthy but green. Dark green. Like a dark and mysterious fairy glade. The main note is dark, samatran patchouli. Its not sweet in any way shape or form. Its reminiscent of lush Tramp shower gel, but serpentine is even moreso of everything.

The green color is so dark that it looks black. Its not until i smeared it on the white plate that you can see the dark green color.

The name references a serpent. The scent goes with the name.

Sumatran Patchouli, Howood, petigrain, ylang ylang flower, lemon juice.

One has to really like the more old school lush scents to enjoy serpentine. If you strictly like sweet or fruity scents you may not like this.

I would buy more than one bottle but not 6 bottles so im going to rate this a 4 out of 5.
