Perfumed products shop in East Dulwich. Previously located in the basement under Dulwich Cafe, it moved in December 2009 to larger premises (formerly occupied by Target Arms) further along Lordship Lane. Their advertising slogan is "If you like Lush, then you'll love us!".
secretlondon visited in November 2009 (prior to the move). They had a selection of perfumed bath products, fancy soaps, shampoo soaps and a small range of other goods such as incense (one type), face masks (three types), and a couple of brands of face cream. It was cheaper than I expected, with four little ylang ylang bath things for £1 and a perfumed bed thing for £2.75. However I've never been to market leader Lush to know how it compares.
An anonymous commenter tells us that the new location is much nicer and there's no problem getting a pram in there now (clearly an important concern in East Dulwich).
