The Bug Lush
The fragrance features elemi, Galbanum, Black Pepper, Labdanum, Sandalwood and Tonka Bean. Perfumers Mark and Simon Constantine capture the paranoia of the modern age, with its constant surveillance cameras, secret police, anonymous hackers ... The Bug is a "protest" perfume featuring the one-two punch of galbanum and black pepper with strong and unusual notes of cistus labdanum, sandalwood and elemi oil. Packaging for The Bug continues the playful protest with images of a CCTV camera bearing a single all-seeing eye, in black and white on a purple background. The fragrance is available in a range of sizes from 0.3 oz. to 3.1 oz.
