    The packaging is minimalist, in line with their target to reduce waste.

    Breath Of God is the most amazing scent ever created. You either get it or you don't.

    Another interesting thing about BoG is that it is based on two other perfumes by Lush, „Inhale” and „Exhale“, basically BoG is those two mixed together. Both are still available.
    But boy, it makes me cringe to see how little you know about Lush, putting them in a line with Bath and Body Works and the like is just a total misunderstanding. Their perfume line (as most of their other products) has always been very much beyond mainstream and high quality, much more than most niche brands today. You might want to take a look at „The Smell of Weather turning“ or „Tank Battle“, they are just outreagously beautiful.
    „Gorilla Perfumes“ is just the name for Lushs perfume range, so no colab here - if I understand it correctly, perfumes that are based on other Lush products are branded „Lush“, perfumes that stand for themselves are branded „Gorilla“. Mark Constantine, who created BoG, is actually the founder of Lush.

      The perfume may smell very far from mainstream. However, Lush sells & flaunts the products they make in a very mainstream way in the US. This brand can be found in the same mainstream shopping centers you find the brands he mentioned. Sometimes perception & reality of a brand are not always as they may seem.

    I absolutely adore Breath of God, to me it's equivalent to a mystical experience, I own so many niche fragrances and B of G can easily stand proud amongst the best of them. Unique and totally uplifting! :)

    I love Lush fragrances. They are mostly weird and different. They aren’t for people that want an average scent, but I must be careful where I wear them. Breath of God is a favorite of mine. Lush turns over their scents fast, but Breath of God has been around a while.

  • @oceansoflorewi
    @oceansoflorewi Před 4 lety +5

    Probably one of the most mystifying mysterious confusing smells i've ever smelled in my life. It has that JPG Le Male mystique to it but on steroids. It's like if Earth and all its diversity was made into fruit punch bowl and bottled by minute maid. Hence the god theme I feel. The opening is very blue and airy and minty to me but yes the base turns DARK. Bipolar scent.

    Simon Constantine founder of Lush is the perfumer for "Breath of God" (2010) Simon and Mark (Son) Constantine are the perfumers for a majority of Lush fragrances. Pia Long is the perfumer for a majority of the body care, however some of her fragrances have been "elevated" to fragrance status.

    Lust and Karma are two lush fragrances that I love. They are very well done for the price, I think. I have never tried Breath of God, but have always wanted to after reading Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez gave it a 5 star rating and compared it to "the best of Serge Lutens's scents". Thanks so much for the review! It was fantastic and I will now be seeking it out for sure!

  • @miropribanic5581
    @miropribanic5581 Před 8 měsíci

    do not make the mistake of getting overwhelmed by the first impression of the fragrances of this house, be it this one or others...with some of their perfumes ("Dear John") the top note wears off rather quickly and what you are left with is a soapy smell, no need to spend that amount of money for this experience...others however (e.g. now defunct "Rentless") were/are pretty good, vintage-y, but good value for money. ofc everybody has a different skin and his/her own opinion

  • @992turbos
    @992turbos Před 5 lety +1

    I have an older bottle of this, tiny little black bottle with a tag. I remember when i first sprayed it it almost seemed like notes that werent meant to be mixed together but somehow created a mysterious scent that begged my nose to keep sniffing my wrist as it morphed along with the minutes. As i walked around outside i got wafts of different notes at different times, not necessarily in the normal “top then middle then base” but more like just random notes wafting up one minute after another. Sometimes super smoky, other times straight up juicy fruit/bubblegum, other times heavy incense. Definitely intriguing.

  • @advanselimi9624

    Thank you for your very excellent and funny review. Have you ever considered doing a perfume review show at Edinburgh comedy festival - where you talk about your most hated perfumes. The packaging is not what i am after in a scent. I was intoxicated when i first sampled Breath of God in a crowded lush shop I LOVE perfume but rarely like the opening note of most perfumes. For liking it twice - i bought it. I adore the opening note. Deep and exotic and beautiful and complex. My aunty Lived in the middle east. She introduced me to all the exotic oils and resins including frankinsense. She passed away last week and in my grief i had an urge to go purchase this perfume .........Tonight in a spritz I feel a deep comfort and connection to the souks in the middle east. I think it is totally deep and beautiful. When a perfume encourages me to inhale deeply and more often, I have found something good. I hope other people don't experience satan's asshole. YOU ARE FUNNY! Loving your review!

    Today was my first experience with Lush perfumes... I wasn't completely impressed. They were all loud and amateurish but unique. I bought the solid version of Smuggler's Soul. It's weirdly addictive. I remember Breath of God smelling a bit like urine/fecal matter.

  • @arnold1446

    Doesn't sound to my tastes (not yet anyway, but I haven't been on this journey very long) but I am glad some houses are still taking risks and making weird and challenging fragrances. Maybe next time I pass a Lush I'll check this one out!

  • @Dave-gs3jg

    I’ve owned Breath of God for years, and still every wearing is slightly different. To me it calls to mind the hut of a hermit herbalist, in the middle of a forest clearing filled with rotting undergrowth.
    Other Lush perfumes worth sniffing out: Imogen Rose, Sikkim Girls and the solid perfume version of Smuggler’s Soul. I also love All Good Things, but not sure it would be up your alley.

It opens some parts on me. I like it on my (dry) skin. Some time later it become powdery. Maybe because of I am a smoker it feels like fresh air to me.
