This scent tells so many stories. As you wear it you almost feel like you are in a downtown basement studio filled with whiskey and smoke. Every time I wear it I find myself smelling my wrist to quickly escape reality. It's not for everyone that's for sure. I do feel that those who understand it will appreciate it.

I tried this perfume on at the Lush in Union Square. Judging from the description, I thought this one sounded the most intriguing and unique. I'm glad I tried it before I went and bought it on the website! At first, the perfume smells overwhelmingly of barbecue sauce, mixed with a tobacco smell. A few hours later, the BBQ scent wasn't as strong, but was still there. I thought the tobacco element was interesting, but it was overshadowed by the barbecue scent.

It's really strong, too. I had to wash my wrist three or four times to get the smell to completely go away. If you think this is your thing, I strongly recommend trying it out before you spend your money on it.

Comments about Voice of Reason Perfume:

I decided to give Voice of Reason a try because I like scents that are a bit more masculine & because of the Sandalwood & rose that were listed as two of its ingredients. One of my all time favorite sandalwood-rose perfumes that had been made by another company had been discontinued & I'm still trying to find a replacement & thought Voice of Reason might be the one. I also like scents that are smoky, like a campfire or bonfire (like the Coal Face bar, for example).

Sadly, Voice of Reason was none of those things. On my wrist it smelled like BBQ sauce, & on a friend's wrist it smelled like beef jerky. The only positive was that it lasted most of the day which would have been great had I not smelled like a BBQ smokehouse. I kept thinking that the smell would change as it dried down but it stayed the same. No sandalwood or rose, no campfire smoke, just a BBQ joint.

Definitely not for me. This is the first Gorilla perfume that I've tried & I sent it back the same day. I plan on exchanging it for some of the smaller sizes of Lush's older Gorilla perfumes. Hopefully I'll have better luck.

I'm not sure how to describe this scent. It is a very strong smoky smell, kind of like cigars, whiskey and a hint of coffee. I feel like I'm in a bar or pool hall when I put this on. I'm not really crazy about it, I figured I'd try the smallest one because the scent description intrigued me. But I don't really like the smell of smoke. To me I think this is a more masculine scent. It's creative and different, but its just not for me.

I've never purchased a product that I didn't like from Lush, even with perfumes that I've bought without smelling first. However, Voice of Reason, one of two of the new perfumes I purchased was a big miss for me. The description made it seem like the perfume would have a lovely smoky tobacco smell with nice earthy tones. Instead of tobacco smoke, it smelled like a BBQ joint. I put it on my wrist and it smelled like BBQ chicken sauce. It was very bizzare. I had my husband smell it and he noticed it too. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because that after wearing it for about a half hour the smell finally calmed down a bit, and it smelled a little less funky, but then the scent pretty much completely faded within a couple of hours so it's staying power wasn't there either. This was the scent I was most excited for, but it was quite disappointing.
