I had a 2ml sample bottle of this that lasted me for a week or so. I still have the odd sniff of this when I visit Lush stores. The perfume is a "Marmite" scent. You will either LOVE it or HATE it. This is because the perfume is so unique. I have never smelt anything quite like this before. I suppose in a way that's a good thing. The perfume reminds me of those Parma Violet sweets that I used to buy when I was younger. It does contain notes of violet and these violet notes are quite strong. These violet notes give the scent a warming floral feel. I would recommend this perfume to everyone as I love it. However it does smell quite retro so ...  Read the complete review

Like many people, I have been a LUSH fan for a long time. The shop just smells so good. A friend of mine worked at LUSH and the smell permeated all of her clothes. I always wanted a seat next to her. I'm not entirely sure what notes the LUSH shop smell would have if you bottled it. Maybe it isn't possible to do so, after all, I'm sure if it WAS possible they would have bottled it, labelled it 'The LUSH shop' and sold it to every single customer that walked through the door. Perhaps Tuca Tuca is the closest of their perfumes to that typical, disctinctive LUSH smell. It has floral notes of Violet with that cinamon-y/ cocoa butter-y smell hiding slightly beneath, ...  Read the complete review

Carrying on with my reviews of the Lush perfume samples I bought last summer, I'll now review Tuca Tuca. I first heard of this scent when Lush released a Tuca Tuca massage bar, which they seemed to hype up a lot, so I had high hopes for the perfume. The perfume contains notes of cassie, vanilla, sandalwood, vetivert, violet leaf and ylang ylang, and individually these are all scents that I like, so on paper this is a scent that sounded appealing to me. The Lush perfumes are all packaged in very similar bottles so I feel like I'm repeating myself a bit here, but in short, I do not like the bottle one little bit! Plain black with white writing in the ...  Read the complete review

I bought this Tuca Tuca solid perfume when I was on a bit of a shopping spree in Lush stocking up on some goodies. The range also had a full sized perfume and an atomiser but as the solid perfume was only £5.50 as opposed to the £23 for the perfume I stuck with that as it meant I was able to afford a few different kinds. As I got a few of these little solid prfumes it took me a little while to actually use this one and by the time I actually did I had forgot all about what it smelt like and also what it looked like. The Tuca Tuca solid perfume is unlike my others in that the colour is violet and in my opinion not alltogether as appealing as the butter ...  Read the complete review

Lush have recently introduced a new range of perfumes, Gorilla Perfumes, which even have their own website. The range includes the longstanding Lush perfumes Karma and Vanillary, 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 some brand new scents. Tuca Tuca is one of these, and was the first new perfume to be introduced from the range, complete with accompanying dance and assorted flashmobs! I received Tuca Tuca in the form of a sample, when I ordered the special promotional set of 7 sample perfumes for £7 from the Lush site. ...  Read the complete review
