Twilight Solid Perfume

When you think of Twilight from Lush, you automatically think of their Twilight bath bomb - which is one of their more popular bath bombs due to the amazing colours that gets spewed out the centre.

Most people forget that their are other Twilight fragranced items out there, albeit they're more hard to come by, but they still exist.

I wouldn't say that I'm a massive fan of the Twilight scent - like the Karma family, I do like the smell but I wouldn't say that it's my favourite but even so, I like it enough to splurge all of my pay checks that carries the Twilight scent.

The Twilight solid perfume was released in the Lush Kitchen and I was a bit weary to get it at first. I'm very picky when it comes to perfumes and I like to test them out in the shops before I buy them. At the end of the day, who wants to buy a perfume online only for it to come in the mail and it smell disgusting? Definitely not me. So I was taking a big leap of faith here by purchasing the solid perfume, especially since perfumes can differ from their bath bomb counterparts. But, I ordered it and eagerly awaited it's arrival so that I could try it out.

The solid perfume has a very similar smell to the bath bomb but the one thing about the smell that I found different was that it's very much a stronger smell and there isn't really a dominant smell. The lavender oil and ylang ylang absolute create the floral element of the perfume, the tonka absolute adds to vanilla aroma. 'Lavender and vanilla?!' I hear you scream, 'those two ingredients can't make a nice smell, surely?'.

Well guys... They do, they really really do. I mentioned before that I wasn't a massive fan of the Twilight scent family, but this perfume has made me a bigger fan and appreciate the scent more. It's mix of floral and vanilla creates this perfect aroma that you won't be able to get enough of. It's also got a slight spicy smell, it's not overpowering but it's definitely there in the background. My Mom isn't a Lush Cosmetics fan at all, she doesn't get my whole obsession, but when she smelled the Twilight solid perfume, she wanted to steal it off and keep it for herself. Maybe that will put it in perspective of how nice this perfume smells.

When I am using this perfume, I apply it on my wrists and on both sides of my neck. I work in retail and every time I lift my arms to reach for something or I turn my head quickly, I get a waft of the perfume and it's gorgeous. You don't need much of this at all. I always wear this to work because the smell lasts for about two/three hours; I did think that it would last longer however, because my other perfumes (not Lush) last for a good six/seven hours. So the longevity of the perfume was slightly disappointing for me.

I have used this perfume nearly every day since it arrived in March and the pictures here just show that the perfume is going to last ages; three months using it and it looks like it hasn't even got a dent. It's also self-preserving so there's no rush to use it in a year.

Overall, this is a very impressive solid perfume from Lush and the fact that it's bettered my opinion on the Twilight scent family, I think that says something. The longevity of the smell could be slightly better but other than that, this is a must-have for any Lushie who loves Twilight. I'm definitely going to be buying this again when it's re-released in the Kitchen.
