Vanilla Fountain Bath Bomb: Vanilla Fountain is a decadent desert bath made with vanilla absolute (the posh stuff made from pods) and rich tonka absolute. Inspired by lavish English deserts, it's comforting and deeply sweet, with notes of burnt caramel that last on your skin and waft through the house so you can enjoy it for hours. Simon Constantine invented this delicious new fragrance; we loved it so much we just had to have an entire fragrance line, and we got what we wished for! Layer on the vanilla!Vanilla Fountain smells really good dry. The black stick sticking out of it is actually a vanilla pod. I usually take it out and throw it away before using the bomb. Some people like to take it in the bath and squeeze all the goodness out of it though. I initially used half of this bomb and once it hit the water, the scent totally disappeared. So I ended up using the whole thing. This bomb is not very moisturizing, and the scent that lingers on your skin is not the vanilla scent, but the burnt caramel. This bomb isn't bad, but I probably won't be buying it again.
Honey Bee Bath Bomb: Honey not only smells delicious, it's very soothing and moisturizing on the skin. This is the bath to take if your skin's giving you trouble; we add aloe vera in with the honey, and hand-press a stripe of rhassoul mud through the centre of each bomb. Your skin will be calmed, soothed and so will your disposition as you inhale the delectable fragrance of honey and caramel, similar to our best-selling Honey I Washed the Kids soap.Honey Bee has the same scent as Honey I Washed the Kids soap. It smells so so good, and you will definitely like this if you like the soap. I only like to use half a bath bomb, and I tried to break Honey Bee in half, but it just would not break. I ended up using the whole thing. I expected the smell to be stronger, but it was pretty faint once it hit the water. It turned the water a golden yellow color, even brighter than Vanilla Fountain. What I don't really like is the rhassoul mud because it just sinks to the bottom and ends up being gritty on your bottom. After you drain the water, you get left with a kind of gross brown residue. It easily gets rinsed down the drain though. I actually like the Honey Bee bomb that's in the big Easter egg. I think it smells better and the mud actually dissolves in the water.
Harvey Bath Bomb: Our Harvey bunny bath bomb becomes invisible as he disappears in a fizzy froth of soothing yet refreshing jasmine, orange, mint and carrot seed fragrance. (You may wonder about the scent of carrot seeds, but this essential oil is very costly and beautifully fragrant and it is used in expensive perfumes; how easy do you think it is to get oil out of carrot seeds?) In the film Harvey, the bunny disappeared for a while and although everything seemed normal everyone missed him. It was just like that at LUSH, so we brought him back and put him in Retro.Isn't Harvey cute? NOT! Looking from the picture, he looks a bit cute, but when I actually used him I thought he looked a little conniving and perverted. Yes, a perverted bunny! He has a cherry for a nose, and I read on the Lush forums that some people like to eat his nose, but I wouldn't dare to. When I sniffed him in the beginning, I only got floral notes. When dissolved in the water, I was like, "...ahhh..." That's the sighing, relaxed "ahh" by the way. Harvey's scent in the water was a lot more complex than it was dry. He smelled floral, fruity, sweet, carrot-y, and creamy. How can a scent be creamy? Strange, isn't it? I can't describe what creamy smells like, but it's something you have to experience yourself. That's Lush for you, and that's why I love Lush!
