Princess Cottongrass

Lush will be making the princess cottongrass bath bomb (which has never been made) in the March lush kitchen subscription box. 😊

Pine, Violet, Neroli, Nettle

It’s a fresh, clean green but slightly sweet fragrance.

The pine is definitely present but it mixes with the sweet violet so it doesn’t seems AS pine-y as if it were just pine by itself, if that makes sense, The neroli and nettle lend a grassy note, so the entirety becomes a sweet, pine-ish, grassy scent.

I remember writing about another lush perfume called ‘Fresh As’ and i wrote that It smells as if Lush Needles & Pine shower jelly, Grass shower gel, and Princess Cottongrass mated and had a baby.

So i would say that princess cottongrass is not exactly like those but definitely along those lines, if that helps.

Fresh As is made with Fir Needle and Princess Cottongrass is made with pine. Fir and pine are closely related: both are types of conifers (cone-bearing evergreens) and belong to the same larger Pine Family

So imagine fresh as with some violet, and neroli and nettle.

Nettles have a fresh, green, earthy, and slightly grassy smell, often compared to cucumber peel with hints of hay and mint, with the aroma being quite vibrant and outdoorsy.
