Yes, Ceanothus Silkmoth smells just like Lust/Flying Fox. Notes are: Blood orange, night-blooming jasmine, vanilla bean, bog wood, Spanish moss, benzoin, and oudh. Iole is close too btw, notes are: fig, night-blooming jasmine, red sandalwood, bourbon vanilla, oak bark, leather accord, and black amber. *edit* added notes Thanks I'll try ordering Iole with my next lab order in June, I'm trying to get her into BPAL but she says they seem "expensive and tiny" so I'm out to prove her wrong *Is a evil enabling friend*

I'm not sure if it's been asked before but is there a BPAL that smells like Lust from Lush? My friend really loves that scent so I'd like to get her the Bpal version of it

This is my first review here, hope I do well... Anyways, my bottle also had quite a bit of sludge at the bottom (about a fifth of the bottle is my estimate) so this bottle will need a bit of rolling to blend properly which amuses me slightly, what with the picture and all *has a dirty mind* So after rolling the bottle around for a bit I tipped it over and used what was left on the cap to test the perfume on my wrist. The first notes that hit me where the cocoa and the lemon blossom. The chocolate note the cocoa gave me was of a bitter-sweet chocolate and with the lemon blossom giving me that lemony hit the first thing I thought of was jaffa cakes! Not the normal citrus ones but the ones filled with lemon jelly and then covered in dark chocolate, if (like me) you like separating your food it smells like a lemon jaffa cake without the actual cake part, pretty nice but a bit too strong for me. As it dried down I started to get more of a sharp floral scent from it, that I could identify as white rose (which isn't nearly as sweet as red rose). As you can tell I associate scent with taste, so when I breath the scent in the taste I get is of dark chocolate with a hint of lemon, breathing out gives me the floral taste with a hint of lemon tying the scent together. At this point I was afraid I'd never get the custard accord I was so curious about But as it reaches it's last stages of drying down properly on my skin (about 30 minutes in) the chocolate starts retreating into the background and the custard and vanilla come out to play with the white rose! It takes the slight sharp edge off the rose and leaves it lovely and creamy while still leaving a tiny bit of dark chocolate to cut off the sweetness at the back of my throat when I breath it in. So once dry what I get from this scent is a lovely soft creamy white rose&lemon with a very very slight chocolaty edge, this scent would be lovely for summer garden parties (Reminder to self- host a summer garden party) or romantic picnic where you don't want to overwhelm your date with scent. For me this is a 4/5 and I'm glad I got a bottle unsniffed
