Vegan Leather Jacket by Lush

Featured review The most detailed of the latest reviews.

As the little ones downstairs said, now the good one.

Vegan Leather Jacket is one of those scents that makes you rethink perfumery; honestly, given the gay name, I expected something like Zara, but in reality, it stands up to compositions like Terroni and makes Ombre Leather uncomfortable when sharing a table. The opening is so spicy it reminds me of a tear gas canister cooling on the asphalt or a used welding rod. Its intimidating drydown doesn’t last past the third of the fragrance’s life; there, the welder’s mask is removed to reward with a soapy base, like a peeling suede jacket mixing synthetic, sweat, and the wearer’s sweet perfume, a kinky performance that projects velvet and incense. Far from empty poetry, you must try it at least once: here, it’s not worth talking about notes or believing the olfactory pyramid. Lush is almost as massified as Subway or El Castaño, so the decision is to go and ask them to let you smell it or pay the consequences. Negatives? The performance is a bit below average, constant for the brand due to its natural focus, but for the price, it’s worth abusing to compensate. I’m surprised they offer such proposals at an accessible price with so much quality; those seeking challenging perfumery or wanting to explore niche without sacrificing two meals a day can start with Lush. Without sounding hipster, I conclude that designer and Arabic perfumery is repetitive, while niche can be unforgiving for those paying transport in instalments. At least it should make us reflect that a cosmetics brand shows a more interesting path. Vegan but with very sharp teeth.
