Our take

Junk opens with a tart, almost jammy blackcurrant that feels like biting into a berry still warm from the sun, cut sharp by lemon and green mandarin. The rosemary and sage rush in before the sweetness can cloy, turning the fruit into something herbaceous and restless. This is not a scent that settles into a deep base; it stays bright, wiry, a little soapy in that unmistakable Lush way. The woody and soft spicy accords are barely visible, like the skeleton of a building you only glimpse when the light shifts.

It feels like the aftermath of crushing a handful of blackcurrant leaves and citrus zest between your palms on a hot sidewalk. The whole thing is natural in spirit but synthetic in texture, unapologetically perky and more niche than mainstream. The numbers tell the honest story: longevity barely reaches three hours, sillage is a close whisper. This is a fragrance that evaporates almost as soon as you apply it, a fleeting burst of herbal fruit that leaves you wanting more. If you need a scent to anchor your day, look elsewhere.

Who should wear it? Someone who loves the clean, herbal freshness of a garden after watering and doesn’t mind reapplying.
