Tank Battle

Exploring Lush Tank Battle

Tank Battle rewards patience. Released in 2016, this EDP from Lush does not announce itself immediately — it unfolds. The Sweet, Patchouli, Earthier, Warm Spicy structure is layered, nuanced, and deliberately uncommercial. For those who have moved past designer signatures and are searching for something more considered, Tank Battle is a destination worth the journey.

A bizarre, artistic juxtaposition of sugary bubblegum and damp, petrol-soaked earth.

Tank Battle Notes Breakdown

Tank Battle opens with Bubble Gum and Patchouli — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Cumin and Spices. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: Earth Notes and Woody Notes.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Sweet, Patchouli, Earthier, Warm Spicy — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.

Longevity (9/10): Tank Battle delivers exceptional longevity for EDP. On most skin types expect 12+ hours. A single morning application typically carries through well into the evening without reinforcement.
