I absolutely love this perfume. It is what I would describe as an oriental fragrance. It does smell quite exotic and tropical. It does smell quite strong initially so don't be put off by this. It soon settles down into a more subtle scent. The perfume contains a mixture of notes that are both fruity and flirty. It's a feminine fragrance that makes you feel womanly and sexy. The tropical accent of the perfume reminds me of far away places and holidays in the sun, which isn't a bad thing! After using this perfume in the morning I can detect the orange notes before midday. These are the middle notes that balance out the perfume. If you look closely at ...  Read the complete review

If you're a Lush fan at all, you'll know that Lush have recently introduced a new range of perfumes, Gorilla Perfumes, which even have their own website. The range includes some brand new scents, a couple of perfumes which were originally part of the Retro range, reincarnations of perfumes from B Never Too Busy to be Beautiful (Lush's now-defunct sister cosmetics company) and the longstanding Lush perfumes Karma and Vanillary. I received Karma in the form of a sample, when I ordered the special promotional set of 7 sample perfumes for £7 from the Lush site. Sadly prices have now increased. Like the other perfumes in the range, Karma comes in four ...  Read the complete review

Lush launched Karma perfume in 1995. I discovered Lush four years later at Covent Garden when the wonderful 'Lush aroma' enticed me into the store. I bought my first bottle of Karma fragrance that day and have loved it ever since. Karma is the creation of Mark Constantine, founder of Lush. According to Lush it is Mark's "ode to hippies". Karma has a unmistakable undertone of patchouli and the first thing to say here is if you don't like patchouli, Karma is probably not for you. It does seem to be a love it or hate it kind of perfume. I love Karma, to me it is earthy, warm and sensual. I find it calming and uplifting at the same time and it ...  Read the complete review

Continuing in my series of “Ode to Lush” reviews comes this review of Lush’s delightful perfume, Karma. One of the sucky things about being vegetarian is that most fragrances are off limits, either because of ingredients tested on animals, or possibly even containing bits of animal, although many of these ingredients have artificial versions available these days, a lot of more expensive perfumes still do contain this stuff. This is where good ol’ Lush comes in. Karma is their original and best fragrance. The ingredients DRF alcohol, perfume, patchouli oil, orange oil, lavendin oil, pine oil, lemongrass oil, Elemi oil, ...  Read the complete review

This is a product that I actuallly bought for my granny before splashing out and getting myself some. If you could imagine would heaven might smell like, bottled then this is probably it. Karma is a fragrance and can be bought in a bottle for about twenty pounds, making one of Lush's dearer items. It is worth the price tag though. For your money you get 30g of the most infuriatingly aromatic scent you will ever step across. My first impression of this was one of a shocked nature. I was genuinely amazed at how strong the smell was and how intoxicating it was. The nose becomes enveloped by eastern spices and you feel like you being transported to the ...  Read the complete review
