What Would Love Do
by Lush
What Would Love Do is a complex, sweetly herbal fragrance that opens with crisp tangerine and develops into a rich, resinous base of benzoin and lavender. The scent is often described as edible and seductive—reminiscent of spiced citrus candies, amber-infused vanilla, or a delicate balance of lemony freshness and smoky balsamic depth. It has a soft, creamy lavender note that is not herbally dominant but rather blended with benzoin to give a floral-tonka-like warmth. The fragrance evolves over time, transitioning from a bright, zesty citrus opening to a more subdued, skin-like dry down that lingers subtly for hours. Despite moderate sillage and longevity, it is considered highly wearable and versatile, especially in spring and summer. Many note its comfort and unique character, likening it to a warmly nostalgic memory or a specialized niche creation.
