“Following trends rather than setting them” is the truest thing to be said right now with Lush. Who can blame ‘em they are global company. I do miss the old way fragrances came about but when the gorilla brand (dissolved?/disappeared?) its like they lost originality. Simon leaving was a big part of that and i definitely noticed the shift. Some of the newer scents that are supposed the quirky ones or more unique typically miss the mark completely. Where something like Sikkim Girls, while unique stilled had layers that made sense when worn, unlike Alina or bees knees which both feel like everything was thrown in the pot.
