Community Insights

Based on 22 discussions

The fragrance is widely praised for its exceptional longevity and sillage, with many enthusiasts noting that it remains tenacious on skin and clothing even through humid conditions or long days.
It is frequently compared to other Lush icons like Breath of God and Dirty, though users distinguish it by its prominent "hay" and "chamomile tea" notes which provide a more rustic, herbal depth.
Enthusiasts describe the scent as a highly emotional and artistic "mood" fragrance, often associated with solitude, nature walks, and the specific feeling of a rainy autumn day.
While it is a year-round scent, the community strongly recommends it for the transitional seasons of fall and spring, where its earthy and cooling qualities mirror the natural environment.
There is a notable divide regarding the opening; some find the initial "medicinal" mint blast challenging or "trumpet-loud," while others consider it a necessary and bracing part of the fragrance's atmospheric evolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

On what occasions should I wear The Smell of Weather Turning?+

Most users prefer this for leisure and introspective activities, such as nature walks or artistic pursuits.

Does the mint note stay throughout the wear?+

The peppermint is strongest and most "medicinal" in the opening. As the fragrance develops, it settles into a more subtle, cooling breeze that weaves through the warmer notes of hay, beeswax, and oak wood, rather than remaining the dominant feature.

Is this a safe blind buy?+

Due to its bold opening and unconventional ingredients like nettle and hay, this is generally considered a fragrance you should test first. It is an "artistic" scent that prioritizes atmosphere over traditional perfumery norms, making it polarizing for those used to mainstream designer scents.

Is this fragrance still available or has it been discontinued?+

Lush frequently changes its fragrance lineup and sometimes moves scents to "exclusive" or liquid-only formats; while it has been a staple of the Gorilla Perfumes line, it is often treated as a hidden gem that enthusiasts recommend securing when available.
