The Comforter
by Lush
The Comforter by Lush presents a bold, fruity-green profile dominated by black currant, bergamot, and cypress, with a soft woody and aromatic base. The fragrance is widely noted for its pronounced black currant character, which some find reminiscent of cat urine due to its natural ammoniacal green nuance—though others describe it as a fresh, herbal, or licorice-like note. The scent evolves from a sharp, sweet green beginning into a creamy, vanilla-sweet drydown, described by some as child-like and simple, while others find it layered and intriguingly bittersweet. Longevity is moderate, with no strong sillage, making it best suited for casual daytime wear, particularly in spring and autumn. Though some perceive it as heartily sweet and accessible, others find it monotonous or overly intense. Its performance varies between solid and liquid versions, with the liquid reportedly more balanced and less offensive to sensitive noses.
Pros
- +Notable for a green, herbal nose that feels authentic and earthy rather than synthetic
- +Balanced sweet-fruit drydown with mild vanilla adds warmth and approachability

Cons
