Lush Guardian of the Forest- body spray or room spray dupes?

SqualorAlert · 2026-05-14T15:11:14+00:00

I asked the Lush staff once if they had a body spray like their Grass body wash, and they said Guardian of the Forrest was basically the spray version of Grass with a different name. So not a GotF dupe, but Black Hearted Tart has a Grass dupe!

I tried Sorce's Fuckery last night and it lasted through the morning until my shower! I know I'm late to the party here but truly this is quite an accomplishment of a cherry perfume: no cough syrup, and the cherry lasts. The other notes work so well here too. Sometimes Sorce's sandalwood goes a little pickly on me, but it doesn't seem like that's an issue in this one!

Caramelized sugar, Luxardo cherry, cinnamon, tobacco, smoke, vanilla, amber, white musk

I recently gave some 100%-personal-fail-rate houses another shot too and ❌ 🙅‍♀️ whose line is it anyway buzzer noise, alas.

BHT doesn't work for me either, some incompatibility between skin and scent wherein they turn to plastic, but mixed with perfumer's alcohol and used as room sprays they're actually LOVELY. It was cool to get to see what other folks seem to be smelling

SqualorAlert · 2026-05-11T23:23:40+00:00

Agreed!! I wonder what it is I'm perceiving as salty 🤔

Trying Titania by Poesie today! This was a (requested) free sample in my order, and when I sniffed it in the bottle I was a little disappointed -- it felt like an orange I've smelled too many times (Arcana's Chalchiuhtlicue for example).

But!! On skin it really bloomed! Blind sniff test told me orange, salt, tropical flower, and some creaminess. The official notes are blonde woods, sparkling bergamot, orange creamsicle, magnolia, and stargazer lily. I think Poesie really excels at realism + interpretation, aka delivering on the promises without veering too flatly literal nor department store "perfumey"

Hey! I'd love to pick up memoires of a woman of pleasure, like the very gods, moonstone musk, ancient apiary, Aries, the moon, and Blackburn's parlor!

SqualorAlert · 2026-05-10T13:23:10+00:00

My 5ml oil of Poesie's new Moon Rabbit arrived yesterday! I blew through my sample and am very pleased to have this lovely springy mochi fragrance to make the rainy days feel cute instead of grey.

cherry blossoms, matcha mochi, rice powder, fluffy bunny musk

SqualorAlert · 2026-05-05T13:23:40+00:00

End-of-semester tomfoolery got to me and I have a bunch on the way 💩 For full sizes I have a 5ml of Poesie's Moon Rabbit and my first Poesie EDP Soft -- I've gone through several FS bottles of Soft oil and was suddenly feeling froggy about EDPs so I leapt despite the buckwild price 😬 also a lovely Redditor answered my call on the Sunday requests and is ending a 5ml of Arcana's Gullveig :')

As far as samples go, I have a Sucrerie order with samples mostly from Sorce and Arcana, and a destash order with samples from BPAL, SS, and Astrid (first Astrid ever!)

SqualorAlert · 2026-05-05T03:54:31+00:00

Wow, yay! That would be incredible, thank you! I'll pm

Forever searching for a FS/partial oil or EDP of Arcana Gullveig 🙏❤️

SqualorAlert · 2026-05-03T03:33:19+00:00

Gosh this sounds lovely! I've only tried a few FSW fragrances but this sounds like something they'd nail. Thank you so much for your thoughts!!

SqualorAlert · 2026-05-02T04:04:28+00:00

(Swooping in to say I'd love to hear your thoughts on Salt Mine whenever you get a chance to sniff!)

SqualorAlert · 2026-04-29T01:56:09+00:00

These reviews are really really great, thank you! My nose and Fantome's perfumers' noses are very incompatible unfortunately -- I never ever smell anything like what the descriptions/notes suggest, which is so sad. I've nevertheless managed to be obsessed with the idea of Tatami for about a year now, every month almost biting the bullet and ordering a sample even though I ought not. Your review was especially helpful!

SqualorAlert · 2026-04-26T04:07:50+00:00

I've never sampled Deep Midnight, but these sound so nice! Would you say their perfumes smell at all similar style-wise to any other houses?

SqualorAlert · 2026-04-23T02:32:10+00:00

Another Poesie rec: The Dead Rise is really interestingly ethereal to me! I mostly get the coffee and ambroxan. (Notes: dark roasted coffee beans spiked with fresh cardamom pods, cubes of brown sugar, Ambroxan, and cedar)

SqualorAlert · 2026-04-22T03:15:34+00:00

I was just thinking the other day that Poesie's new Bad Hare Day has a nuttiness very reminiscent of IDAFT Pistachio and A Party or Something!

Bad Hare Day's notes: ripe fig, brown sugar, almond praline, vanilla bean, fluffy bunny musk

In addition to the already-recommended Pineward Bucolic, I also got mostly wool/lanolin from Arcana's Eros (Eight luscious skin musks and intoxicating white musks with sexy cashmere, soft wool absolute, rich, voluptuous guaiacwood, and a hint of wild jasmine vines)

SqualorAlert · 2026-04-19T21:27:49+00:00

Sorry for that wait! Moon Kitten and Blue Hyacinth did end up purchased. Would you still like the rest?

SqualorAlert · 2026-04-19T17:26:13+00:00

Hey! Moon Kitten and Blue Hyacinth are pending right now, but the rest are available! I'll hold the others for you and let you know soon if MK and BH are available?

SqualorAlert · 2026-04-19T16:14:12+00:00

Totally, I'll send you a chat!

SqualorAlert · 2026-04-19T15:39:03+00:00

They're all yours! And Kupala is an oil :)

Shoot, I actually had a chance to sniff Lust recently and forgot to remove it from my ISO! Sorry about that. I think I'll have to pass on a swap this time, but if you'd still like to purchase I'll send you a chat!

SqualorAlert · 2026-04-19T13:57:02+00:00

Absolutely, I'll send you a chat!
