*LURK Review.

I've wanted to try some new perfumes for a while now and LURK very kindly sent me some samples of their Eau De Toilettes and Perfume Oils. Now I have to admit, I've never tried perfume oils before, so I was unsure of whether I would like them. As far as perfumes go, I like fruity and floral scents as well as fresh scents. I wasn't quite sure how I'd feel about the scents of both the Eau De Toilettes and the Perfume Oils and I am terrible at describing them, so all the information below is from LURK. They explain what each Perfume Oil and Eau De Toilette smells like perfectly and then at the end, I will share with you my thoughts on each Eau De Toilette and Perfume Oil.

LURK Eau De Toilettes

"Our 100% Natural Eau De Toilettes are available in two scents. BS003 and RSW005. Both represent complex translations from our oil base formulations. Beautifully executing the sophistication, complexity and living qualities of the oils and scents that LURK is known for."

BS003

Dry woods mix with crisp citrus notes and sweet bergamot product this effervescent yet balanced fragrance. Androgynous and fresh, this scent is beautifully suited for men and women alike and moves between seasons seamlessly.

$185 30ml. Works out at £118.68 in GBP.

RSW005

Warm sandalwood and earthy rose product this androgynous scent. Smooth with a crisp citrus finish, this is an essential scent to slake even the most parches perfume palette. Deep sandalwood notes intertwine with fresh rose, never cloying and surprisingly vibrant.

$225 30ml. Works out at £144.30 in GBP.

ASO1

Notes of cedarwood, tuberose and sweet rose come together with a hint of spice to produce this slightly viscous yet subtle scent.

BS003

Dry woods mix with crisp citrus notes and sweet bergamot to product this effervescent yet balanced fragrance.

TBPV1

Sultry florals blend seamlessly into a base of resinous black pepper. An antidote for the fragrance jaded.

RSW005

Warm sandalwood and earthy rose product this androgynous scent. Smooth with a crisp citrus finish. An essential scent to slake even the most parches perfume palette.

PRJV1

Expansive layers of jasmine and rose with fresh petitgrain. Raw, unrefined, possibly debaucherous definitely pleasing.

BB11

Seductive notes of Ambrette seed intertwine with warming black balsam and succulent florals to product this vibrant, feral blend. Distinctive, sensual and surprisingly fresh.

NSTV7

This delicate blend of deeply complex notes incorporates heady Pink Lotus with Owyhee, fresh citrus, warm sandalwood and creamy Tuberose to create this unique, earthy floral. Instantly addictive and engaging.

TRNV4

Rich notes of tobacco meld seamlessly into a transcendent blend of Neroli, Bulgarian rose and lavender blossom. An intoxicating infusion that is densely layered yet never heavy. 

So what did I think?

RSW005 (Eau de toilette) - I really didn't like this scent, it just didn't suit me and it's not what I'm used to.

BS003 (Eau de toilette) - I really liked this scent, I think it's because it has citrus notes in it and so it smells fresh.

ASO1 (Perfume Oil) - I didn't like this perfume oil, the scent just wasn't my cup of tea.

BS003 (Perfume Oil) - Again, like the eau de toilette, I really liked this scent.

TBPV1 (Perfume Oil) - I liked this perfume oil, I think it's because it's florally.

RSW005 (Perfume Oil) - Again, like the eau de toilette, I just don't like the scent.

PRJV1 (Perfume Oil) - I absolutely loved this perfume oil, this was definitely my favourite, again, very floral and fresh.

BB11 (Perfume Oil) - I didn't like this perfume oil, I didn't like the scent.

NSTV7 (Perfume Oil) - I liked this perfume oil and I found the scent okay.

TRNV4 (Perfume Oil) - I didn't like this perfume oil, I think it's because it has rich notes of tobacco in it and that just doesn't appeal to my senses.

Overall thoughts?

My overall thoughts are that I liked the scent BS003 in both the Eau De Toilette and the Perfume Oil and my favourite perfume oil out of the collection was PRJV1. As far as perfume oils go, they aren't my favourite things to use. I find them to be a lot messier and they make my skin slightly greasy (Duh, Megan, it's Oil!) but that is to be expected. The perfume oils did last longer on my skin, which is what I like about them but overall I don't think I'll be rushing back to buy any of the Eau De Toilettes or the Perfume Oils. The Eau De Toilettes and Perfume Oils are quite expensive for me personally, many people may think they aren't over priced but for me, they don't really fit in my budget.

You can buy the LURK Eau De Toilettes and Perfume Oils on the LURK website.
