Lush Karma Gorilla Solid Perfume Review

By Astha Goel

Hi Pretty Ladies,

This is going to be my first post on IMBB. I have been a regular reader of the blog and I absolutely love how everyone is so friendly and helpful to each other. It’s like a family indeed 🙂  So, here is a review of the Lush Karma Gorilla perfume which is a solid perfume.

Lush+Karma+Gorilla+Solid+Perfume+Review

Product Description:

Retro yet ageless. Karma is a powerful, spicy and unique patchouli and citrus perfume. It’s a strange slow-burner for some; you fall for it without realizing what’s happening. Others love it from the first sniff as they are transported to the age of freedom.  I got it from the Lush store at Bangalore.

The SA introduced it to me. I knew I had to buy it when I smelled it for the first time. It smells absolutely exotic.

Price:

600 INR for 12 gm of product.

Ingredients:

DRF Alcohol, Perfume, Patchouli Oil, *Limonene, *Linalool, Sweet Orange Oil, Lavandin Oil, Pine Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Elemi Oil, Cassie Absolute, *Cinnamal, *Citral, *Geraniol, *Citronellol, *Farnesol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Eugenol, *Benzyl Salicylate
*occurs naturally in essential oils

Basically as you can see, it has absolutely all natural goodness in it which is totally amazing.

How To Use:

Apply in on your pulse point on the neck and wrists. It has this waxy consistency and easily glides on to the skin. Does not feel oily at all. So, quite easy on the application part.

My Experience with Lush Karma Gorilla Solid Perfume:

I have been addicted to this cutie pie. Now, it smells so refreshing and kind of soothing, you know its like more of a traditional scent. If I may describe it better, it has citrus, patchouli and a hint of traditional spices, which are not overpowering at all. Citrus and patchouli are on a little stronger side though.

The scent isn’t sexy if you ask me, so I won’t really use it if I am going out clubbing and stuff. I prefer to use this as a regular scent every day because it just brings in the good mood and overall makes me happy.  I have received so many compliments from people for this scent. Often I find myself sniffing my own wrist which is kind of weird, but well, I want this smell all the time tingling my olfactory lobe 😀

About the staying power I would say, other people can appreciate the scent for around 3-4 hours, but if I myself were to sniff, I find the scent on up to 6-7 hours. Also, it totally depends on what you do. If you have to be at one place for a long time, it should probably last longer than that.

I am only disappointed with the packaging. It comes in a black-coloured plastic container in the form of a stick and has a screw cap. Looks pretty and all but its not comfortable to take it out of the container. You have to push it at the bottom so that it comes out from the top. Now, if you push extra, there is no screw mechanism to take it back in. You will have to use your bare hands to push it back, in the process of which, sometimes it breaks due to the waxy consistency 🙁

Pros of Lush Karma Gorilla Solid Perfume:

  • Great smell.
  • Quite affordable as the stick would last me another 2 months.
  • It has all natural essential oils in it, which are super good for the skin and absolutely NO PRESERVATIVES!
  • Does not feel oily after application though all it contains are essential oils.
  • Shelf life is one year, which is quite decent.
  • Easily available at Lush stores and their online website.
  • Easy to carry around in your purse as it is solid and comes in a little cute cylindrical container.

Cons of Lush Karma Gorilla Solid Perfume:

  • The difficulty in using it.
  • Staying power could have been a little longer.

Do I Recommend Lush Karma Gorilla Solid Perfume?

Totally. Go ahead and give this a shot. I am sure you won’t be disappointed!

Will I Repurchase Lush Karma Gorilla Solid Perfume?

Yes! I use this regularly since I bought it. I cannot get over how good this smells plus the compliments.

IMBB Rating:

4.5/5 (0.5 deducted because of packaging which could have been better).

  5. hi astha! loved ur review…..i have lust and love solid perfume from lush and i love them…i know the packaging can be very irritating…once a friend pushed up my love perfume and half the stick came out!! but the SA at lush told me that if i just hit the tube the end side down softly for a couple of times the perfume will slide back in. so i tried it and it worked! hope this helps…i am planning on buying karma solid perfume once my love and lust solid perfumes get over!
