Death and Decay by Lush is often described as a unique blend of floral and sweet notes, with ylang-ylang and jasmine being prominent. Users note that it has a distinct, almost morbid character, which some find intriguing while others find off-putting. It tends to be loved by those who appreciate unconventional scents, particularly fans of Lush's quirky style. However, general buyers may be divided, with some finding it too unusual for everyday wear. Many recommend it for spring and summer occasions due to its floral nature, but its longevity and projection can be inconsistent.
