I'm Home Perfume (Solid + Liquid)

What comes to mind when you picture home? To me, Home is change. Home is where my family is. It's where my friends are. It's christmas and summer. It's something I know I will always have, and it's also a dream to one day make my own. Home is complicated.

When I smell this perfume, it truly does feel like Home in a bottle. It's sweet and welcoming, the warmth of a family coming together. I immediately pick up on the vanilla, transforming into a pudding-like sweetness. Along with the cocoa absolute that reminds me of hot chocolate at Christmas. It's almost a sticky sweet scent but not one that I can turn my nose up at. I usually hate the sweet scents like Snow Fairy. But there's something about I'm Home that captures the addictive side of chocolate and sweetness that makes you melt.

Both the liquid and solid versions last their worth on my skin. I usually spray after I've had a shower and dried off, and one spray is enough. I go to town and still get whiffs of it in the wind. The solid version is very creamy in consistency and doesn't smell as alcoholic as the liquid. The solid is definitely gentler and not as overpowering, but still, offers a powerful impression on the skin.

What I also love is the new packaging for the solids. However, it means that I won't be able to remelt as I usually do with the tin version when I've used it a bit too aggressively. It reminds me of the packaging of a brow pomade. It does mean the actual product is only 6g compared to the 12g in the tin, so iwe're getting half for the same price. But take into account the new formula is probably more lightweight and you don't need to use as much since it's definitely more potent. I find that a few swatches of the new formula and I am set for the day.

I find that I'm home is similar to the likes of it's volume 4 sibling- Cardamom Coffee. They both feature a sweet warmth and when I pointed this out in store, a staff member gave the perfect metaphor that I'm Home is like a mocha and Cardamom Coffee is like a cappuccino. So if you have fallen in love with this scent, then you have to try Cardamom Coffee (or vice versa) as you won't be disappointed.

I will be certainly wearing this during the winter season as it will pick me up on those dull wet days and make me feel less homesick whilst I'm at university. I absolutely adore this addition so far and thank the Lush founders for creating such a beautiful scent. I heavily recommend it.
