V

V by Lush arrives as creamy ylang-ylang, softly indolic and almost buttery, before violet petals bloom—cool, powdery, slightly green. Cloves enter low and warm, their spice threading through the floral heart with surprising restraint, while cedar grounds everything in dry wood. The fragrance settles into a gentle warmth where spice and violet meet, held steady by that austere cedar base—intimate without being heavy, floral without turning sweet.
