Seductive floral brew

The sexy scent of carnations wafts from your supremely soft skin after moisturizing with Potion Lotion. It's a bewitching concoction full of luscious and smoothing ingredients; a light touch of almond oil and cocoa butter to soften, with rose petal infusion and toning tangerine. We want to smell like Potion all the time, so we take it everywhere we go and smooth it on (it's especially nice as an after sun lotion too).

Features

  • A wickedly seductive scent: Carnation absolute lends a distinctive floral note to its beautiful fragrance.
  • Skin softening potion: Cocoa butter and almond oil nourish parched skin all year round.
  • Just like Ruby Red Slippers: Fans of our Retro Christmas bubble bar will recognize Potion Lotion’s seductive fragrance.

Customer Review

from zekele
"I tried this lotion on a whim during my most recent trip to LUSH and liked it so much that I had to buy a bottle on the spot :). It smells fresh and spicy; you can definitely pick up the carnation scent. It left my skin feeling ...more"

I absolutely adore the scent of this magical potion! To me it smells like standing in a fabulous flower conservatory, one of those marvelous Victorian glass buildings filled with plants. The smell is so fresh and refreshing, so uplifting. It is floral, but not too sweet, and a little spicy.

The lotion is pleasant, light, not greasy, goes on smoothly, and is fairly quickly absorbed. It doesn't seem like a deep moisturizer to me, but that's fine, since i don't like that thick greasy feeling.

I put it on several times a day, not only for the skin benefits, but also for the fragrance.

I like to describe this smell as "classy grandma" smell. Like maybe what Rose from Titanic would've smelled like when she was older. But it's not my favorite, it's a little greasy and you have to have the perfect amount so it isn't too greasy, but also so it actually moisturizes.

      Comments about LUSH Potion Lotion:

      Something about this scent is very familiar to me, although I can't place it. I keep thinking it smells a little like a childhood vacation spot, and a little like my mom and my sister. Really not sure where that comes from, but I love it! I like it for fall and winter because it has that carnation smell you find around the holidays. The scent is so yummy... If you have been trying to decide whether to get this, I would highly recommend it. I was afraid it would smell old or too flowery, but it is really subtle with a hint of holiday spice. Very unique.

      Comments about LUSH Potion Lotion:

      I had high hopes for this lotion because I love the smell of carnations and I love Ruby Red Slippers bubble bar, although it smells like an incense when dry.
      While Ruby Red in the bath transforms into a light flowery scent the Potion Lotion kind of stays smoky/clove-y/peppery on my skin. It does mellow down some but it's more spicy than flowery.
      The good news is that it's light but moisturizing, It seems a little greasy at first but sinks right in.
      I live too far from a Lush store to return it or exchange it so I will use up the bottle I got but I don't think I will re-purchase.

        I love Potion Lotion. I use it daily on my hands, elbows and arms. The scent is heavenly--like old-fashioned carnations. The thick lotion is filled with essential oils that keep my hands soft even after a day of gardening.

        I am hooked on this product and it is now one of my favorite gifts to give!

          I have been using this product for several years after my mom got me hooked! I love the scent and find it old fashioned, but not too overpowering. The only con is that it's not available in stores for some reason, and the shipping time is always a bit lenghty, but it's well worth it!

            I normally reach for heavy lotions and thick moisturizers, and I have a hard time finding a "lighter" lotion that is still moisturizing enough. This is perfect.

            It goes on super smooth and feels like silk. It absorbs quickly, with no sticky or waxy feeling residue and is that "just right" level of moisturizing without being heavy.

            Oh and the scent! Yum! On me, Potion is intensely floral with a peppery bite that never fails to get compliments. It's my go-to, keep-a-bottle-in-my-bag, never-be-without-it lotion for every day use.

                I am addicted to this product. This is by far my favorite lush product, I've been buying it for years. I cannot sleep without this, I use it every night before bed and the scent has the most calming effect. It is moisturizing but not too heavy and the spicy scent lingers for hours.

                          I always put lotion on after I shower because I can't stand dry skin so I am always considering the chemicals in my skin products. I love LUSH products in general because they are much more natural than mass market products. The first time I used Potion I thought the scent was kind of light but now it has cast a spell on me! It's spicy, floral, and creamy dreamy. It makes my skin smell great and soft after showering. After being out of stock for a long time I have just gotten two new bottles of this wonderful Potion, I would buy more but then I'd be broke! Anyway, I put it on at my BF's house and he couldn't stop smelling me and saying how great it made me smell...so a major 5 stars for this one. Please don't ever stop making this product LUSH...in fact you could make more products with this scent. P.S. LUSH, you need a store in Traverse City, MI

                            I don't understand WHY people like this smell so much here. It smells way too strong and spicy, it makes my head hurt all day long. A SEXY smell? Uh...I feel like I'm at the dentist's where they use way too much scent machines to seem so clean. It's driving me mad and I can't focus on anything. Went right into my trashcan after 2 days of use. What a waste of money.

                              Why is this product retro?! I do not understand as Potion is one of the best moisturizing and smelling body lotions Lush has ever made. Absolutely love it.

                                Received my first order of this yesterday and my nose has been glued to my arm ever since. The carnation smell takes me back to my youth - Mom's favorite flower! Wonderfully moisturizing!

                                  I love this stuff so much. I would give my firstborn child if Lush would make a perfume that smells like it. I picked it up in a Lush store a couple Christmases ago (it was a limited thing) and I couldn't believe how amazing it smelled. I never would have guessed I'd like it this much from the description since I'm not usually a huge fan of florals. It's spicy and sweet but not cloying. Just amazing. It moisturizes well and isn't too greasy (which is good because I have oily skin), but my favorite thing about it is definitely the smell.

                                    The best smelling product LUSH sells IMHO. Aside from smelling warm, spicy, and sexy, the fragrance lasts all day and is the best moisturizer I've used. Oh, and it drives the men crazy!

                                          Upon opening for the first time, I took a whiff and found it very pleasant. Now I am loving the scent, it smells different on your skin. It smells like carnations, a little bit like rose, and some spicy scent I can't describe. My husband loves this on me, and usually he has no comment on my fragrances. He said I smell sexy and spicy. This is a very soothing and concentrated lotion, it feels great after being in the sun. I recommend this if you want to try something unique and like flowery scents!

                                            Reading through the reviews I read that this product smells like carnations and has spicy notes, but I was wondering, since it has rose petal infusion, if there are any hints of rose in the scent of this lotion. I wouldn't normally post questions about scent, but since this product is only online I cannot go to the store to smell it!

                                              A:

                                              When I smell it, I definitely get a hint of rose, but it depends how tuned in to the rose scent you are. It might read stronger or lighter, depending on you! If you do decide to try it, and find that it wasn't what you were expecting, call our customer care team and let us know, and we'd be happy to go over the details of our return policy!
