Real oakmoss? Could not help but purchasing this rarity as oakmoss is one of my loved raw materials, along with vetiver and sandalwood. It smell exactly as I hoped, like a damp forest, decomposing leaves and freshly digged earth on a misty autumnal morning hike. It’s a pretty linear and uncomplicated scent made up of few ingredients. The oakmoss shadows the sweet ylang ylang, and I can hardly detect any clary sage. It’s such an organic and raw fragrance that I only wear it when at home, just for my own pleasure. Projection is good and I can smell it after 12 hours on my dry skin and up to 48 on clothing.

I have a partly used bottle of this to trade if anyone is interested? Just not quite my thing though I admire the fragrance. Message me if interested.

Hmm, must say this is a bit of a disappointment.
I have the soap and adore it. I love the mix of earthiness, wood and orange. I wanted exactly that in the perfume.
On first spritz they are similar-ish but after an hour tops the perfume has turned in to a powder bomb on me and not much else. All the earthiness and interest has gone. It has no punch, nothing unusual or interesting.
After 3 hours it has vanished.
I don’t understand how they can make it work with the soap but not with the perfume.
I’ll be returning this one.

Devil’s Nightcap is an intersting one. It’s like a mix of orange blossoms with sea air. It’s salty and woodsy. Definitely more masculine, but I can see women wear this as well. There are a lot of oak moss notes in there. It just reminds me of summer and the beach. Refreshing, the sillage is great. One of the strongest ones from lush. I like it a lot, but there are days when I don’t feel like wearing it. 4/5

This smells like so many memories from my childhood: A walk with my father, through marshland close to our summer cabin, picking cottongrass; collectiong dark green and moist moss with my mother, before creating tiny ‘mosekoner’ (decorative figures/dolls made of twigs, moss and fabric); my fathers wool jacket after a long day raking fallen leaves and working in the garden in autumn.
It’s a dark green, moist, damp mossy and earthy scent with barely there nuances of sensual ylang ylang, that keeps the scent from being too earthy, and a refreshing, almost cleansing hint of aromatic sage.
It smells so natural and raw – ancient even – but in a way that feels both familiar and slightly melancholic. It’s the smell of something from the past (really long ago), but still alive in some way and with us today. There is power and wisdom in this scent, and an amazing sort of peace. The kind of peace you only find deep within nature.
I think this might be my absolute favourite scent from Lush/Gorilla Perfumes. It evokes such a deep and fascinating atmosphere, and wakes so many emotions and associations. A fabulous creation!
Longevity is about 8 hours on my skin, and sillage is quite strong right away, but dries down to a pretty solid medium.

Perfectly named. Promises something good, or at least interesting; opening with a blast of pine, smoke, grass and something sweet in the background.
Quickly dies down to a sad, powdery sweetness. More than a touch of cheap incense.
That’s it. Cheap, powdery incense with the merest hit of oakmoss.
Hell would be a place where there was nothing but this fragrance to be worn for all eternity.
Insipid.

Nexangelus’ description (“damp”, “not fresh”) is right on. Over a short time it gets even less fresh so you might think it is too organic for you in a way. Like dead fallen leaves. I recommend it for home enjoyment. Also, I think THIS should have got the name “The Smell of Weather Turning”.

This scent is fascinating. It looks dark and dense and it smells so. But, it is a shape-shifter. It is not green, not fresh and not smoky. It is all three sort of melded and mixed together. It wafts, in waves, of an odd dankness, not unpleasant, but vegetal and dark green. There is damp, but not a mildewed sour, festering damp. Close up it smells smoky and green oakmossy all in the same instant. Again, if you love strange and beautiful things, this is one for you. Hard to describe, but damp, dark, earthy, woody with a monstrous herbal backdrop. Smell of Weather Turning has a little of this in it or vice versa. Gorgeous natural scent. Scent of the earth/nature…I recommended it for swampy, but that might be oversimplified…this is one part of the swamp.

Campfire bliss 🙂
If you have ever been camping in the great outdoors, you will understand that the journey is a mix of unsettled anticipation….followed by restorative and rejuvenating peace. This is Devil’s Nightcap.
The first 15 mins is the harsh task of setting camp. Get his job done without fuss then sit back and be soothed by the smoky woods and aromatic earth.
Don’t wear this indoors…it will confuse you and you may call the fire brigade unnecessarily … Your house is not on fire!

Only for virgin unicorns!
…Oh Merlin, it’s an enchantment!

This perfume always reminded me of the “The lady of Shallot” by Tennyson. It opens in a damp mystical tower where someone is cooking a strong smelling herbal brew. Then it slowly floats down the river, in a sad beautiful scent of the forest and water.

It starts off a little smokey and sharp for some people (I liked it even though it is a unique fragrance at first) but on my skin at least, it settles into a sweet scent with a lingering woody and smokey note that really keeps you hooked. This is the scent that turned me over to more unisex fragrances since my guy actually kept sniffing this on my wrist all evening. It’s discontinued now, but you can buy it from the LUSH kitchen online. I bought a large bottle since it was my daily signature fragrance when it first came out. Now I am using it more for a “going out with friends to a coffee shop” fragrance to try to keep it longer. Really wish they had kept this one instead of Sikkim Girls which did nothing for me.

Devil’s Nightcap has the most frighteningly hideous topnotes in living memory, but if you persevere for about 20 minutes without screaming and scrubbing, you might be surprized. It develops into a very nice oakmossy herbal, semi-sweet, smoky affair, which is surprizingly pleasant after the violent overture. An hour into its lifetime on my skin it again turned funny, kind of cheap, but as time passed it calmed down, became a few shades darker and comfortingly aromatic. Not a huge masterpiece, but interesting and thoroughly likeable.

Herby, balsamic, woody, earthy, sharp…. definately an unusual one, but wonderful on the skin.

This is so vile. It smells like a monkey house to me. Had to scrub off.

This is one of the few new Gorilla perfumes that I actually like.
It opens with a very green and natural accord. Grass and herbs and maybe some cucumber. Drying down it becomes more herbal. There’s a smoky aspect as well, warm and comforting, but it never looses the fresh herbal feel.
I really really love this perfume. I think that, though it leans more to the masculine side of the perfume spectrum, it’s easily wearable for both sexes. It might even be a little too floral for some men.
It’s quite longlasting and has a soft projection that invites one to lean in closer.

An ode to oakmoss absolute comprised almost entirely of the main ingredient. I can’t say I’m overjoyed by the new lush fragrances (though none of them are bad at all) but this one is a simple joy for me. The perfumer treats the Oakmoss like the most expensive floral absolute to a gorgeous if not too simple effect. Not stunning, but definitely comfy and unconventionally pretty.

The Lush SA put a drop on my wrist today, and to me it’s quite in the range of CDG’s Avignon or l’Artisans Passage d’Enfer. Strong balmy, a tad too strong for me but somewhat more wearable than the aforementioned scents. Definitely unisex.
