As the air turns crisp, fragrance fans are embracing warm, edible notes that evoke cozy indulgence and comfort, and Lush is showcasing its best gourmand offerings at Café Gourmand, a West Village pop-up. In response to more people embracing fragrance rituals and layering gourmand scents, Lush is inviting people to experience the decadent signature scents behind products like its best-selling Super Milk Conditioning Hair Primer and the new Pumpkin Spice Collection.
For a short time this September, visitors will benefit from being able to pick up a personal fragrance routine from a scent quiz and a personalized scent layering consultation. While their deluxe samples are being prepared, they'll sip a product-inspired vegan latte—and sustainably minded guests who bring their own mug have the opportunity to take home a complimentary full-sized product.
