#AD | Time To Treat Yourself To Some Self Care After A Day Of Epic Adventures | How To Train Your Dragon X Lush

Hey everyone! 

 Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was kindly sent some of the How To Train Your Dragon X Lush Collaboration Range by the lovely team at Lush so I thought that today I would talk to you all about the range! 

A wide angled photo of a open rectangular dark red book shaped box with a bright blue card on one side with how to train your dragon x lush in white font and on the right side a rectangular box filled with white eco-pops  with four bath products. A purple dragon shaped head with silver glitter and yellow and green eyes, a red and purple wing shaped soap a cykdiencual small bottle filled with dark red glittering shower gel with monstrous nightmare in white font and a silver and blue axe shaped bubble bar on a light brown wooden stick on a bright background

Toothless Bath Bomb (£7)

It's time to fly into a warm bath! 

List Of Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Spearmint Oil, Cream of Tartar, Water, Titanium Dioxide, Popping Candy, Talc, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Alcohol Denat., PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77499, Colour 42053, Colour 45410, Colour 47005, Colour 17200, Colour 42090:2, Colour 42090, Colour 77288, Colour 45410:2, Colour 77491, Colour 59040, Colour 45350.

Toothless is here to make your bath journey that little bit extra special. This bath bomb contains Popping Candy which creates the ultimate bathing experience by making your bath crackle and pop. 

Toothless has a sort of swirled  Mint and Vanilla fragrance to it due to the inclusion of Spearmint Oil and other goodies that kind of remind me of when you get a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream with your dessert topped with Mint. The Mint develops and blooms on the bath making it feel like you're relaxing on an ice cool spring relaxing after a long day of adventuring and battling. 

If you're a big fan of bath art when it comes to selecting bath bombs at Lush then you will definitely want to grab a Toothless Bath Bomb as the bath art that they create is truly mesmerising. I won't spoil it for you but the visual art that comes with Toothless Bath Bomb is truly magical and definitely will make your day feel a little bit better if you've had a tiring day!

Toothless Tail Soap (£5)

The soap that will definitely last the tail of time. 

List Of Ingredients: 

Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil, Fresh Mint Infusion, Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Water, Perfume, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Spearmint Oil, Activated Charcoal, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Calcium Carbonate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Colour 77499, Colour 77491, Colour 14700, Colour 17200. 

Not only does this Soap look stunning with its dark and mysterious shift of colours but also smells amazing too. Like the Tootoess Bath Bomb, this soap has a fresh mint scent with a slightly creamy Vanilla backnote but as there is Fresh Mint Infusion in this soap alongside the Spearmint Oil that is also in the Toothless Bath Bomb, the Mint note is slightly more prevalent within this product. If you're a fan of scents from Lush such as Dirty then I think that this soap will definitely be for you. 

I've been using Toothless Tail Soap for a while now. I love the addition of Activated Charcoal in this soap as it ensures that all the dirt and grime from my hands and body is completely banished. 

I've been using this during the heatwave that has occurred in the UK and it has honestly been a godsend for the hot weather and ensuring that I feel clean and refreshed.

Astrid's Axe Bubble Bar (£12)

List Of Ingredients:

Sodium Carbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Lauryl Betaine, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Rosemary Oil, Sage Oil, Green Mandarin Oil , Cornstarch, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Limonene, Colour 42090:2, Colour 47005:1, Colour 77288, Colour 77491:1, Colour 77288, Colour 77491. 

We all need a good bath after a day of hard work and that's exactly what Astrid's Axe is here to do! 

As Astrid's Axe is on a stick the best way to use this bubble bar is to either use the axe to slice through the water in the tub whilst it's runnin or to hold it under the tap until your preferred amount of bubbles has formed. Some like a light bubbly bath, some like a bubbly bath that's full of frothy bubbles. Once your preferred amount has occurred, turn the tap off and place the amazing Axe on the side or on a soap dish to dry before using it again after your next adventure. 

This bubble bar contains a plethora of oils such as Sicilian Green Mandarin, Sicilian Lemon, Sage and Rosemary which combine to create a lovely fresh Blackcurrant scent with a blast of green notes behind it. This bubble bar shares the same scent as the Junk Perfume from Lush so if you're looking for a bathing product to go along with the gorgeous perfume then Astrid's Axe is the one for you. I love this bubble bar. I love anything Junk and I have forever been yearning for more products in the Junk scent from Lush. (Please give us a Junk Shower Gel!)

Monstrous Nightmare Shower Gel (from £10)

List Of Ingredients: 

Glycerine, Fair Trade Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Clove Leaf Oil, Lime Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil, Carrageenan Extract, Gardenia Extract, Cornstarch, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamal, Coumarin, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 14700, Colour 19140:1, Colour 19140, Colour 77491. 

A shower gel that will help your muscles relax after a long day? Sign me up! 

This shower gel to me screams dragon and Viking's by the amazing packaging, the fiery red colour of the shower gel itself and the scent of the superb shower gel. 

This shower gel contains an abundance of amazing oils. Monstrous Nightmare contains Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Lime Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil. These oils being to create a beautifully fiery and spicy scent with a slightly citrus undertone that to me gives off a sparkling background note that makes it feel like the spices are bubbling and frothing a tiny bit. If you are an avid Lushie then you may be happy to hear that Monstrous Nightmare shares the same scent as Glogg Shower Gel that has appeared in previous seasonal and Lush Kitchen ranges. 

Anyone that knows me will know that I adore spicy scents. I love anything and everything cinnamon centric or that has a cinnamon in it. When I first smelt this shower gel I instantly got a big hit of sweet cinnamon and that was from quickly smelling the bottle in the middle of the store. From that quick sniff, I knew that I would love this Shower Gel.

Chief Stoick Beard and Hair Oil (£18) & Gobber's Comb (£10)

List Of Ingredients: 

Almond Oil, Organic Argan Oil, Black Jamaican Castor Oil, Organic Cold Pressed Grapeseed Oil, Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil, Perfume, Cold Pressed Organic Borage Oil, Coffee Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Tobacco Absolute, Vanilla Absolute, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Anise Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Cinnamate, Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamal, Citral, Coumarin, Eugenol, Isoeugenol, Limonene, Linalool.

Even the greatest of Vikings need something to tame their hair with! 

Lush have done various iterations of Beard products in the past in the form of naked solid products so when I heard that a packaged liquid hair and beard oil was coming as a part of this amazing collaboration range I was super intrigued. 

Chief Stoick can be used as both a hair oil to help keep hair tamed and hydrated or as a beard oil to keep facial hair in place or both. 

Chief Stoick contains Organic Argan Oil, Black Jamaican Castor Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Cold Pressed Borage Oil and Grapeseed to create a wonderful base for the product to hydrate every fibre of hair intensely. Did you know that Jojoba Oil is known for being  the most structurally and chemically close to your skins sebum? 

Chief Stoick contains Coffee Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Vanilla Absolute and Tobacco Absolute. These oils blend to create such a unique scent. The Vanilla and Tonka blend to create a creamy soft base which contrasts beautifully against the rest of the oils which blend to create a rich powerful smoky scent from the Coffee and Tobacco with a woody yet slightly herbal undertone that comes from the Vetivert. If you have tried the Hobana Bath Bomb from The Ippuku Dan Goft Set from Lush or the Lazy Oaf X Lush Body Spray and loved it then you will love this beard Oil as they both share a very similar scent to the Chief Stoick Beard and Hair Oil. 

As I said above, I was intrigued when I heard that there would be a Haor and Beard Pil on this Collaborations Range and boy did it not disappoint. I was also intrigued that this product contained Black Jamaican Castor Oil as I have heard that the castor Oil is known for its benefits such as strengthening thin hair, nourishing dry hair and promoting hair growth. I've been using the Oil for a while and have been loving it. My hair and facial hair have felt a lot more moisturised and healthy than it did before using the Oil. I have slowly been getting into Tobacco and Vetivert forward scents over the past year and forever loved Dear John from Lush that is quite Vetivert forward in my opinion  so I was super looking forward to seeing how this scent would be in a oil format and it is beautiful. The coffee comes out but doesn't dominate the scent and the Vetivert adds a beautiful note the scent. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you can pop to a Lush store near you and check it out. 

Alongside the Chief Stoick Hair and Beard Oil, you can grab Gobber's Colb which is a 100% recycled plastic hair and beard comb that helps to de tangle hair before applying the oil and can be used to style all hair!

Hiccup Body Spray (£35)

List Of Ingredients:

Organic Alcohol Denat, Water, Perfume, Glycerine, Bergamot Oil, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool.

I adore Lush's Body Sprays so I was definitely excited to try Hiccup out. The main note in Hiccup is Bergamot and to me Bergamot reminds me of drinking Earl Grey Tea in the  garden on a warm day. I'm not entirely sure why but it does. Maybe as Bergamot is in Earl Grey Tea. 

This Body Spray does smell of citrus heavy yet slightly peppery Bergamot but to me it also has a sort of aquatic note to it which reminds me of being at the seaside too. I would definitely say that this is an amazing Body Spray for the Summer time or for anyone who loves a Summery scent. I am also considering it to take it and wear it when I next go to the seaside for the ultimate sort of Summer  adventure vibe. 

 I recently went into my local store and sprayed Big and Salty as when I've been trying out Hiccup it has slightly reminded me of both of these Body Sprays from Lush and I must say if you layer Big and Salty together you get a scent which feels like it fits on the family of what Hiccup smells like. If you can go to a Lush store then I would urge you to try this combination out on one arm and Hiccup on the other and see what you think of both. 

Regarding the longevity of Hiccup, to me it is amazing. I've been wearing it especially when I've needed to run errands for the day and meeting up with friends and I've noticed that I can still smell it quite strongly by the end of the day when I'm back home using Ultrabland and getting ready to settle down after a long day.

Are Ewe Ready To Have An Amazing Baath? | Shaun The Sheep X Lush Range

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The lovely people at Lush have sent me an amazing box of Shaun The Sheep X Lush goodies and I thought that today I would talk to you all about them. 

The Shaun The Sheep X Lush Range is available on the Lush App, website and in stores. 

Shaun The Sheep and Lush have a lot in common. They both turn 30 this year! Shaun made his first appearance in Wallace & Gromit : A Close Suave in 1995 and Lush started creating their iconic cosmetic products in 1996. Lush make their beauty products by hand and Aardman make their characters such as Shaun, Timmy and many more by hand too! 

Shaun The Sheep’s TV series played a big part in my childhood as I came home from school to see what antics Shaun. Timmy and the rest of the gang had gotten up to. 

A square white box opened with Shaun the sheep in white font with Kish in white font on a yellow oval Hubble on the back with a black spray bottle filled with body spray with a green domed label with mossy bottom in dark green font next to a tall cylindrical tub filled with three pink pig shaped shower jellies with sand on them with a green label with naughty pigs shower jelly in pink font with a blue tractor shaped soap next to a light yellow circular pick shaped body balm with an animated dog engraved into it with a black and white sheep’s face shaped bath bomb next to a smaller baby sheep’s face shaped bubble bar on a brogue background

Shaun The Sheep Bath Bomb

Shaun has appeared to make your bath time a real adventure! 

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Alcohol Denat., Rose Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute, Lemongrass Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Water (Aqua), Coconut Milk Powder, Titanium Dioxide, Corn Protein, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cornstarch, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77499, Colour 47005, Colour 42090:2, Colour 19140:1, Colour 42090. 

Shaun is here to make baath time a delight! Not only does he look adorable but this bath bomb also contains Coconut Milk Powder, Corn Protein and Extra Virgin Olive Oil which helps to make your skin feel as soft as Shaun does! 

This bath bomb also contains a plethora of beautiful floral oils such as Rose Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute and Jasmine Absolute which blend together to create a soft powdery scent whilst the Lemongrass helps to make everything sing and add a zesty pop of brightness to the bath bomb. This bath bomb shares the same scent as the retro Summer Blues Bath Bomb from Lush! To me, the scent of Shaun reminds me of slightly powdery yet uplifting cotton which feels a bit fitting with this range! If you’re a fan of scents that remind you of Spring or love anything floral then you will definitely love this! I also think any combination of products from this range would make a beautiful gift! 

Sleepy Timmy Bubble Bar 

Timmy is here to help you settle down after a day of mischief! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Lavender Oil, Chamomile Oil, Lavender Absolute, Neroli Oil, Cornstarch, Glycerine, Water (Aqua), Tragacanth Gum, Titanium Dioxide, Alcohol Denat., Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 77499.

This bubble bar contains Lavender Oil, Lavender Absolute, Chamomile Oil and Neroli Oil. This blend of oils creates an absolutely superb soothing scent! Timmy shares the same scent as Deep Sleep from Lush and this specific blend is known to help calm and soothe so you can sleep easier (which trust me I need at the moment). Not only that but Sleepy Timmy also creates black rainbow glittery waters when you use him in the tub. First of all, black rainbow glittery baths are the most me thing that I have ever heard and who doesn’t love the sound of this? I feel like the black rainbow glittery water will help to represent the night sky whilst you relax before going to bed which I love the sound of. As Timmy shares the scent of Deep Sleep, you could use the Deep Sleep Massage Bar afterwards to truly settle down before bed due the Magnesium that’s in the Massage Bar. 

I know some of you may be asking what is the difference between Sleepy and Deep Sleep. Sleepy contains Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Tonka whereas Deep Sleep contains Lavender, Chamomile and Neroli. In my opinion, Sleepy is more of a creamy malty Lavender scent (a bit like what Ovaltine is meant to do in terms of relaxing you before bed but in bath form) whilst Deep Sleep has a more herbal Lavender scent to it. 

This would make an amazing bath time treat for anyone who needs some relaxation in their life! 

Naughty Pigs Shower Jelly 

Ingredients: 

Glycerine, Fresh Carrot Infusion, Propylene Glycol, Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Carrageenan Extract, Perfume, Sand, Titanium Dioxide, Geranium Oil, Grapefruit Oil, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 45410:

This Shower Jelly contains three cute yet naughty pigs that can be used to help you clean after a day of adventure! These pigs contain a plethora of ingredients such as Sand which can be used as a light body exfoliant to help truly get dirt and grime off your body. I tried the sand when I received this box of goodies and honestly I love it you like a light exfoliant such as the Sugar Scrubs from Lush then you will love how the Sand exfoliates your skin!  These pigs contain Geranium Oil, Grapefruit Oil and West Timor Sandalwood Oil which combine to create a very zingy fruity scent that is truly to die for. Naughty Pigs Shower Jelly share the same scent as the Muddy Carrots Soap from Lush. The best way that would describe this scent is to imagine picking Grapefruits off a tree whilst being able to smell the scents of the other trees and plants surrounding you in the farm bottled up into a Shower Jelly. 

If you love cute shaped Shower Jellies or anything that has a fruity scent that reminds you of bright and warm days in the sun then I think that you will adore this! 

Bitzer Body Balm

Bitzer is here to help guide your skin into feeling soft and supple! 

Ingredients: 

Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Cupuaçu Butter, Illipe Butter, Organic Shea Butter, Fair Trade Organic Mango Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Perfume, Fresh Carrot Juice, Cornstarch, Bergamot Oil, Lime Oil, Violet Leaf Absolute, Gardenia Extract, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Limonene, Linalool. 

This Body Balm will definitely become your new best friend! This body balm contains a plethora of beautiful butters which will help to nourish your skin such as Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Cupuaçu Butter, Illipe Butter and Shea Butter. Did you know that Cupuaçu Butter melts at a lower temperature that is nearer to your skins temperature which means that when you glide this on your skin it will only take mere moments for this beautiful body balm to melt on your skin and help to make your skin soft and supple. This Body Balm also contains Bergamot Oil, Lime Oil and Violet Leaf Absolute which blend together to create a truly fruity scent that reminds me of freshly picking berries off a shrub during the height of Summer. If you’re a fan of Lush then you may know the scent of Bitzer via the What’s Up Doc? Shower Gel from a couple of years ago or from the Cheep Cheep Bath Bomb. 

If you’re someone who has loved any of the Body Balms from the other collabs such as the Bee Body Bapm from the Bridgerton collab then I think that you will adore this! I also think that this would be a perfect product to pair with the new Basma Body Scrub or Salam Shower Gel that are a part of the new Eid Range from Lush.  

Troublesome Tractor Soap 

This Soap will help you get out of those messy scrapes!

Ingredients; 

Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil, Water (Aqua), Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Coffee Infusion, Perfume, Clary Sage Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Geranium Oil, Lemon Myrtle Oil, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Charcoal powder, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 42090. 

If you’re spending all your time on a farm like Shaun and his buddies then you’d need a soap to help you wash off all the muck of the day and that’s exactly what Lush have done with this Troublesome Tractor Soap. 

This soap contains exfoliating wheels that are packed full of Coffee and Charcoal which will help to exfoliate dead skin and will give you a boost to help you get on with your day whilst the rest of the Soap contains a refreshing blend of Clary Sage, Eucalyptus Oil and Lemon Myrtle Oil which combine to create a light yet zingy scent that will make you want to smell your hands all day!

I am a bit dubious when it comes to Eucalyptus scents as my nose tend to get irritated easily if I can smell it in strong doses but I really enjoy it in this soap. It helps to add a sort of watery freshness which compliments the Lemon Myrtle beautifully. 

If you like fresh and zingy scents then I think that you will like this Soap. In a way this soap reminds me of being the cousin of the Outback Mate Soap at Lush so if you love that scent family but want to try something a touch different then I urge you to try this cute Soap. 

Mossy Bottom Body Spray

One spray and you’ll be at Mossy Bottom Farm having lots of fun. 

Ingredients:

Organic Alcohol Denat.,Water, Perfume, Glycerine, Linalool, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Bergamot Oil, Neroli Oil, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Citronellol, Coumarin, Eugenol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Isoeugenol, Limonene.

We all need a fragrance for when we’re spending all day out and about having fun and Lush have come to the rescue. Not only have Lush created a Body Spray that will compliment you when you’re getting up to all sorts but they have created a Body Spray that will make you feel like you’re a part of the Shaun The Sheep franchise having adventures with Shaun and the rest of the gang. 

(Just to clarify before I talk about Mossy Bottom. The rest of the Shaun The Sheep was kindly sent to me by Lush which I am super thankful for as I love this collaboration range but the Body Spray was not sent to me as part of the gifted items and was purchased by myself).

This body spray contains West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Bergamot Oil and Neroli Oil. This combination of ingredients creates a fragrance that reminds me of the height of Spring enjoying picnics in the garden whilst England is sunny for two days before it rains for the rest of Spring.  This combination of oils creates a fresh green scent that packs a punch. If you have smelt the Grass Shower Gel or Grass Perfume from Lush and adore it then you may be happy to hear that Mossy Bottom shares the same scent. 

I know that for some, this is a love or loathe fragrance but it fits very well into the Shaun the Sheep theme of the range as one spray of this and you will feel that you’re on the farm with Shaun and the gang having the time of your life! 

I’ve worn this a couple of times and honestly I love it. I am super dubious when it comes to green scents. I either love or loathe them but I adore this one. The fragrance is very much a green grassy scent but it has a bit of dimension to it which stops it from being one note. There’s a touch of citrus in there from the Bergamot and a touch of creamy floral from the Neroli which just makes it a fragrance that you keep sniffing. I have sprayed this a couple of times as I have mentioned above and it has lasted all day on me to the point that I’ve been out all day and gotten the train home and wondered if anyone else on the train had just sprayed it and then I realise it’s me. 

If you’re a fan of scents from Lush such as Guardians Of The Forest or Fresh As then I think you should give Mossy Bottom a sniff as you may enjoy it.

Thanks again to the wonderful people at Lush for sending me these baa-rilliant goodies!

We Stick Together In This Community! | Sticky Dates Body Spray from Lush X Community Fragrance Range

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The wonderful people at the Lush Community Team including Finley sent me one of the new fragrances from the upcoming Lush X Community Range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it.  

And why did an uncle photo of a big black spray bottle with a white dorm, engraved into the front of the bottle with sticky dates body, spraying white big font with Lush, in small white font, with an oval around it on a background of a geometric multi placard on a large, rectangular,, black shelf on a bright background


What is the Lush X Community range? The range is a selection of fragrances that will be produced im a small batch for the public that are in popular scents that have been requested by the Lush Community via platforms such as Discord. In this range, there are a selection of both Body Sprays and Perfumes. The Body Sprays that will be available to purchase are Golden Pear, Sticky Dates & Tramp. The fragrances that will be on offer are Creamy Candy, Super Milk (that some of you may know due to the product becoming quite viral on TikTok), Tender Is The Night and  the ooky spooky Toil & Trouble. If you like the sound of any of the scents listed above and you want to get your hands on them then you won’t have to wait long. The Lush X Community range is available to purchase on the 21st November on the Lush App and are available to purchase from the Lush Website from 23rd November. 

Sticky Dates Body Spray

The wonderful people at Lush gifted me the Sticky Dates Body Spray from the Lush X Community Range. 

Sticky Dates Body Spray contains Carob Resinoid, Benzoin Resinoid & Sandalwood Oil to create a truly delectable scent.  

When I initially sprayed the Body Spray, I was hit with an intoxicating yet comforting Sticky Toffee scent that is to die for. The sweet Toffee scent was the first sort of note to come to my nose which is mainly from the Carob Resinoid. After a while, the other two notes blend together to create a beautiful scent that is just like the Shower Gel. The best way to explain this scent from when I sprayed until well the next day is to imagine the scent of a sticky toffee pudding that had just been freshly baked. Crisp and charred on the top and gooey and sweet on the inside. The fact that they’ve made a scent that’s so delicious and edible in a fragrance format is truly wonderful! 

I did notice that after a fair few hours (around the 6-7 hour mark), a distinct smoky yet still toffee pudding scent was happening on my skin which I adored. I guess in regards of comparing this to other Lush scents, imagine The Experimenter mixed with Sticky Dates.  

A wide angled photo of a clear cylindrical large bottle filled with golden brown shower gel with a gold rectangular label that says sticky dates shower gel lush in white font next to a big black spray bottle filled with body spray that has a dome etched in white on it with sticky dates body spray in white font with lush in smaller font with an oval around it with a geometric multicoloured placard behind it on a black rectangular shelf on a bright background


The lasting power of this Body Spray is truly amazing! I sprayed it at 9 in the morning and I could smell it by midnight. I had ran about, caught trains, used other scents on my body and done a plethora of other things and I could still smell it quite clearly and strongly on my body. I did also spray it on the top of my T-shirt that I wore whilst I was away at the beginning of the week (which is when I decided to review Sticky  Dates Body Spray). I haven’t fully sorted my bag out but every time I open it I get a massive whiff of the Body Spray which I truly adore. 

Now I know what all you Lushies are thinking! Is it similar to any other scents? Honesty not really. The nearest is say is Yog Nog but even then there is a definitive difference between the two. Yog Nog is more creamy whereas Sticky Dates is rich and comes across slightly spiced. Turmeric Latte could be a good one to layer it with but even then there’s a definitive difference again. Turmeric Latte is comforting yet soft with a sort of Oat Milk note behind it whereas Sticky Dates has an element of comfort but is definitely spiced and ready to party. It also has that sort of toffee cooked for hours note which Turmeric Latte definitely doesn’t have. I do love both of them though. I guess the easiest way to describe it is via the analogy that I’ve made previously in the post. 

Would I recommend you buying it? Oh my god definitely. It’s Winter in a Body Spray bottle. It’s Gourmand. It’s a pudding that you can wear. It’s a scent that strangers will  compliment you on. Trust me, it happened to me. If you like the Sticky Dates scent at all then buy it as soon as it drops on the app or online. I can totally see why it has been released into the Lushiverse! 

(I haven’t been told the prices of these fragrances so you’ll have to wait until Tuesday to find out!) 

Again, thanks to Finley and the Community Team for sending me this Body Spray! Will you be picking up any of the Lush X Community Fragrances? Let me know down below!

Thanks for reading!

Wahoo! Let's Have An Adventure In The Bath Instead Of Rainbow Road For Once | Lush X Super Mario Bros Movie Range First Impressions

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post. I recently went to Lush White Rose to check out the new Lush X Super Mario Bros Movie collaboration range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it 

Shower Gels: 

Mario 

Mamma mia, Mario has been turned into a Shower Gel and he smells amazing! This shower gel contains Persian Lime, Black Pepper, Aniseed, Benzoin Resinoid and Fresh Pomegranate Juice. These all mingle together to create an intensely spicy Cola scent. For me the Pomegranate Juice is more for the colour of the gel than anything but it does add a touch of sweetness just like the sweetness that you expect to find in that iconic red can of Cola. I love this scent. The Black Pepper and Aniseed mingle together to give a truly nostalgic scent whilst the Lime just helps to heighten the scent for me. I know that Cola sounds like a very unique scent to shower or bathe in but trust me it works! If you know anyone who loves Cola or Mario then this is definitely something that you should get them. I’m glad that I have purchased a big bottle so I can use it without rationing it. I alos think that this scent will be perfect for those cold days where you want a scent to pick your mood up and make sure that you feel invigorated enough to get on with the day. If you have shopped at Lush before then you may know this scent by a different name. Those names include Santa Baby Lip Scrub and Santa’s Christmas Shower Cream. Priced at £8 for a 120g bottle.

Luigi

You can’t have Mario without having Luigi! This shower gel contains Bergamot, Brazilian Orange and Neroli Oils, Rose and Orange Flower Absolutes and Fresh Apple Juice,. I know that this sounds like a very odd concoction but these ingredients mixed together creates a very sharp Apple scent which is perfect for the beginning of Spring. The main sort of note for me that I can detect other than Apple is Rose but its not strong and just adds a sort of fresh floral note to the background which I quite like. If you have ever tried the So White, Once Upon A Time, Rumba or Atom Heart Mother products from Lush then you will love this shower gel as it is the same scent as the aforementioned products. I quite adore this scent but I have to be in the perfect mood for it or it has to be that sort of sunny yet slight breeze sort of style of weather to make me go for it but I am glad that is is available in a Shower Gel! To me, due to the Fresh Apple Juice this does have a little bit more of a punchier Apple scent to it which I really enjoy. Priced at £8 for a 120g bottle.

Shower Jellies:

Bowser 

It’s time to defeat Bowser in the shower! Let’s a-go! This Shower Jelly contains Cinnamon Stick and Star Anise Infusion, Cinnamon Leaf, Clove Leaf, Lime, Dark Sumatran Patchouli, and Brazilian Orange Oils and Benzoin Resinoid. I love this scent. It’s spicy, citrusy and creamy. What’s not to love? To me the main scents are the spices especially the Patchouli and Cinnamon alongside the Clove whilst the Lime helps to boost the spices just like in the Mario Gel and the Benzoin Resinoid adds a creamy note that takes a while to detect. If you have smelt the Hot Toddy Gel before from Lush before and loved it then you will love this Jelly too as it shares the same scent as Hot Toddy. I have been waiting for a Hot Toddy Jelly for years so I knew that I had to have this as soon as I smelt it. It really does smell like a Hot Toddy drink and I think that it represents Bowser quite well in my opinion! Definitely worth getting if you love spicy scents or love being the villain or chaotic in life. Priced at £6.50 for a 100g tub.

Princess Peach 

It’s time to save Princess Peach from the head of the Shower! This Shower Jelly contains Fresh Peach Infusion, Organic Sweet Orange, Buchu and Litsea Cubeba Oils, Olibanum Resinoid and Champaca Absolute. I was surprised when I smelt this brand new scent for Lush. I was expecting synthetic Peach with a big hit of floral but that’s not what this is. To me, the Peach Infusion, Orange, Buchu and Litsea Cubeba mingle together to create a sort of fresh yet slightly sugary Peach and Pineapple scent whilst the other ingreidnetrs help to push them even further. I was unsure on the addition of Champaca but I think that in this it helps to add that fizziness to the scent I’m also a touch confused at how this smells of Pineapple when there is no Pineapple in the product but if you know me then you will know that I love Pineapple. If you love fresh and fruity scents then I would definitely recommend trying this or if you want to smell something that reminds you of Haribo Tangfastics then I’d definitely say go and give this product a sniff. I can’t wait for Summer to kick in as I think that this will be an amazing scent for the Summer time and will be very surprised if Lush do not keep this scent on after the Mario Collab. It is amazing! Priced at £6.50 for a 100g tub.

Bath Bomb: 

Question Block 

The question on everyones lips is what is in the box? This bath bomb really is a mystery. This bath bomb comes in a variation of six different scents so instead of stating what is in inside all six I thought that I would just state the scents. You have Big which is a sea breeze scent that contains Red Mandarin, Sexy Peel which is a citrus scent that contains Grapefruit Cinders which is a scent that contains Almond, Honey I Washed The Kids, a scent that contains Orange and Bergamot but smells like a mix of honey and toffee, Avocado Co-Wash, a scent that smells sort of like  Lime Cheesecake and Outback Mate, a scent that contains Eucalpytus and Lemongrass. Inside of these bombs is a surprise soap that is themed around Super Mario Bros and is in the same scent as the bomb so if you get a bomb that smells of Big then the soap will too. In stores, these bombs are in a box together which means there is a good chance that you will get a mystery bomb unless you know what all six scents smell like. These are a great product to give as a gift and are massive. These bombs around 600g so they are pretty heavy! I picked up one in what I believe is the Big scent which I love as its one of the scents from Lush that evokes the beginning of Spring to me along with Dragons Egg, Sex Bomb and Sakura. I get why some may be a bit hesitant to get one of these as they are on the more expensive side for a bomb but they are massive and you get two products for the price and you could definitely chop this bomb into two so its not too bad when you actually think about it Priced at £14.

Soap: 

Gold Coin 

Who doesn’t love a gold coin? This soap contains Bergamot, Brazilian Orange and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. This shares the same scent as Honey I Washed The Kids but is vegan. The coconut oil ensures that it is nourishing to the skin. There is also glitter in the soap for those who love glitter. I love Honey I Washed The Kids and I love that the formulation has been tweaked so that vegans can enjoy it. Priced at £5.

Body Spray: 

Princess Peach 

Who doesn’t want to smell like the iconic Princess of Video Games? This spray contains Organic Sweet Wild Orange, Buchu and Litsea Cubeba Oils, Benzoin Resinoid and Champaca Absolute. To me, this smells just like the Shower Jelly mentioned earlier in this blog post. Fizzy, sweet and fruity. Peach and Pineapple in a sort of fizzy sour sweet way to me. Amazing. I can definitely imagine this being a great scent to spritz and wear when the weather is warm for a week in England. I love it. I love how the Champaca just helps to push the scent further without taking over in regards to the fruity ingredients in this spray. If you like fruity scents then I think that you will love this scent. Priced at £30.

The Best Way To Relax Is To Be Lazy In The Tub | Lush X Lazy Oaf First Impressions

Hey everyone!

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I went to Lush White Rose recently to check out the new Lush X Lazy Oaf collaboration range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it. 

Lush have decided to collaborate with the well known London based brand Lazy Oaf who are known for creating clothing with creative yet iconic prints and many other products. This collaboration has been inspired by London laundrettes bc just like the iconic one that is featured in the BBC soap ‘EastEnders’. All of the collaborative range albeit one product are either scented in Lush’s well known Intergalactic or Sleepy range.

 Happy Face Bath Bomb 

The first product that is featured within the range is the Happy Face bath bomb which is a white bomb that sports a smiley face on it. This bomb is scented in the Intergalactic range. Intergalactic contains Peppermint, Grapefruit, Cedarwood and Vetivert Oils. To me, this creates an uplifting Mint and Citrus scent with a slightly smoky backnote to it which keeps you guessing and on your toes. I adore the Intergalactic range and think that at this time of year that it could make for a great gift for someone who is working a lot this festive period or for someone who may be suffering with Seasonal Affective Disorder as the Mint and Citrus may help them with the early dark nights that are kicking in at the moment. Priced at £7.

Sad Face Bath Bomb 

Sometimes our faces are happy and sometimes our faces are sad and that is completely fine! This bath bomb has a sad face on it hence the name and contains Lavender and Ylang Ylang Oils, Tonka Absolute and Benzoin Resinoid. I don’t mind the Sleepy/Twilight range but it depends on my mood and such. I completely get the correlation between sad and sleepy so I get why it is scented in this scent family. Priced at £7.

Wash Buddy 

Who doesn't love a good buddy when it comes to washing in the tub? This little bath buddy was designed to help you relax in the bath. This Bath Bomb is centralised around the Lazy Oaf logo. A true collaboration. This bomb is scented with Sleepy which contains Lavender and Tonka so when you need a buddy to help you relax after a long day then you can instantly turn to this cute creature and drop them into the tub. I'd definitely recommend giving this as a gift for someone or yourself after a long hard week. Priced at £5.

Bubbly Buddy 

Lets create some bubbles and enjoy the fun together. This Bubble Buddy not only looks cute but creates some cool bubbles! This Bubble Bar emulates the Lazy Oaf logo through its design. This bar also is scented with the Sleepy scent from Lush. I think that Sleepy works best in a Bubble or Shower Gel format so I absolutely love the idea of this product. I also think that this would be amazing product for kids to use or when stuff is just getting a little bitt too much. Priced at £7.

Checked In Soap 

When stuff has to be done,. Its best to be checked in. This Checked In Soap is not only punny through its checked flag design but also smells the part by being scented in the Intergalactic scent. Not only does Peppermint and Grapefruit Oils help to invigorate the mind and keep you checked into life but also looks amazing in your bathroom. I am kind of glad that Lush have decided to create a Intergalactic soap as the nearest soap that is out at Lush at the minute is Outback Mate which hits the spot in a different way to Intergalactic does for me. Priced at £7 for an 80g block.

Checked Out Soap 

During the hustle and bustle of this time of the year, it’s completely fine to check out. Checked Out  Soap is scented with the Sleepy scent. I think that this would be great for having in the bathroom at night time at this time of year or to use. I can see it being the ultimate soap for small ones on Christmas Eve. Priced at £7 for a 80g block.

Intergalactic Showder

After a full cycle spin, its good to feel oh so clean! As mentioned at the beginning of this post, the collaboration is focused around London based laundrettes and a good part of laundrettes is the clothes being washed. This is why Lush have decided to bring back their showders which are inspired by laundry detergent for this collaboration with Lazy Oaf. Not only do these showders look the part on the outside with their vibrant yet quirky packaging but on the inside too through the texture of the product. 

Some people may ask, what is showder? To summarise, Showder is pretty much just shower powder. If you have used Lush’s Shower Bombs then imagine them but crushed up with a bit of Salt running through it to help scrub the body in a box. Not only does this help to cleanse and nourish the body but also helps to scrub away dead skin cells through the addition of Fine Sea Salt. Add this to the mix of Peppermint, Grapefruit, Cedarwood and Vetivert and you have an amazing product that I’d definitely use first thing in the morning to help me get ready for the day ahead of me. I actually used something similar in the Intergalactic range when I caught COVID in late 2020 and even with only the faintest bit of smell that I had to my name, I could smell the intoxicating smell of Intergalactic which helped to stop me from feeling groggy,. I’d definitely recommend this for the morning after celebrating this festive season. Whether that be a Party, a night out with old friends or Christmas Day itself! Priced at £15 for 170g.

Sleepy Showder 

Let’s scrub away the bad thoughts before bed! Sleepy Showder is just like the intergalactic Showder. Instead of my recommendation of using it the morning after partying, I’d definitely recommend to use Sleepy Showder the night before partying! This showder contains Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Tonka and Benzoin Resinoid. I know that I said that I don’t fully enjoy this scent but I quite like it in the Showder format. To me, the Lavender is slightly more herbal than powdery as I detect a sort of more grassy note of Lavender in this product which makes me enjoy it a bit more. I paired this with the tiniest bit of Beauty Sleep Face Mask that I got a while ago from the wonderful staff at Lush White Rose via asking for a sample of it and oh my god it was amazing. It instantly made me forget all about my anxiety that happened that day due to going out to get some shopping done. Priced at £15 for 170g.

Lush X Lazy Oaf Body Spray

 Lazy has never smelt so good! Who doesn’t love a good Body Spray? This Body Spray was inspired by London Laundrettes and the character Dot Cotton from the BBC soap ‘EastEnders’. This Spray contains Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Tobacco Absolute, Champaca Absolute and Vanilla Absolute. Just from the ingredients alone, I was expecting this to smell very similar to Turmeric Latte through the use of Tonka and Vanilla yet to me it smells worlds apart. When I sprayed this in store, the first scent note I got was Champaca. A sort of resinous floral note. After this I got the smoky note of Tobacco and then the sweetness of the other ingredients. I mean each nose is different but if you are expecting a Vanilla heavy fragrance like Vanillary then you will be disappointed. To me, It reminds me of a mixture of Tobacco and the Ginger fragrance from Lush. An odd mixture I know but sort of fresh, floral and smoky. It is definitely worth going in store to give it a whiff but as I still have a bottle of Ginger perfume from Lush, I was a bit adamant on getting it straight there and then at White Rose as I wanted to see what it was like when it settled on the skin. To me, the Tobacco takes over the Champaca a bit and becomes a bit more of a intriguing scent that I couldn’t exactly pin point. Priced at £35 for a 200-g bottle.

So what do I think of the range overall? It’s different and quirky. I do wish that the Intergalactic was switched out for a different scent to fit the Happy side of this collaboration a little bit more. Even though the scent has already been out this year, I think that Party On would have fitted the bill a little bit more or even Whoosh. Ooh, a Whoosh Bath Bomb would be amazing! Do I get why they were both chosen though? Definitely as both scents are well known and well loved when it comes to Lush. I think that Lush and Lazy Oaf was a good collaboration as they are both quirky. Do I wish the prices were changed slightly? Definitely. I think that £35 is a bit expensive for a body spray with a brand new scent that some may have not smelt before but again with inflation it is completely understandable why the prices have gone up a bit. I think that if the Body Spray was available in a smaller size like it is in the gift sets for a smaller price to try then it would be amazing. I also hope that the inclusion of the Showders again after the concept being discontinued in 2016 in this range means that they will be coming back in the future in other scents as I kind of love them especially when I’m staying in hotels and they only come equipped with showers. Overall I give the Lush X Lszy Oaf range a 8.6/10. 

Thanks to the lovely staff at Lush White Rose especially Betty and Sandra for being amazing to myself and Luke and for gifting us the Showders to try. If you can get to the Lush White Rose branch then I’d definitely recommend that you do.

Lush Space Girl Body Spray Review

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that today, I would talk to you all about the new #LushLabs limited edition Body Sprays that dropped on Lush UK's website the other day, and in particular the Space Girl Body Spray. 

A black spray bottle with a red catcher lever at the bottom of the spray part with a black domed label on the front that says Space Girl in large white font with Body Spray in smaller white font with #LushLabs in smaller white font on a large rectangular light brown tape with a light grey rectangular sofa in the background and a light cream rectangular shaped door on a bright background

Late 2020, Lush decided to release a little range of Body Sprays that were on their website for a limited time only. The sprays included, Winter Garden, Ectoplasm, Sparkling Pumpkin, Mamma Mia, and, Space Girl. I decided to grab Space Girl due to the bath bomb that used to be at Lush that shared the same name and scent was one of the first bath bombs that I purchased at Lush many years ago. 

List Of Ingredients: 

DRF Alcohol, Perfume, *Limonene, Grapefruit Oil, Bergamot Oil, Almond Essential Oil, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Citral, *Geraniol, *Linalool.

As I have mentioned, this scent was one of the first few that I was introduced to when getting into Lush a fair amount of years ago. The Space Girl Bath Bomb used to spurt out so many vibrant colours and fizz around the bath so amazingly. However, my favourite part of Space Girl Bath Bomb was it's scent and thankfully this Body Spray contains the very same sensational scent! The Grapefruit and Bergamot Oils create a wonderfully bright and zingy sherbet scent whereas the Almond Oil adds a bit of roundness and sweetness to the product to ensure that it isn't too sour. The best way to sort of explain this scent is as a sort of tangy yet sweet sherbet scent that appeals to the child within us all. 

I sprayed it various times when I grabbed it to ensure that I got a consistent response to seeing how long the fragrance lasted on the skin. This wonderful scent lasts on the skin for such a long time and is so powerful. I remember one time using this, whilst getting ready to go to University (whilst being on campus was allowed for a short time) and by the time I was home many hours later, due to studying, doing some essential shopping and grabbing something to eat, I could smell it vibrantly on my skin. The sherbet note had calmed down a bit but the almond came out a bit more and gave a almost biscuit note to the scent. 

Would I buy this again? I definitely would. Sadly, this has now been removed from the Lush site due to it being a limited edition product but I would definitely get this again. I adore the uplifting yet slightly sweet scent and I adore the Body Sprays due to getting 200ml of fragrance for an affordable price. 

Have you tried any fragrances that you are loving at the moment? Let me know down below!

Lush Twilight Sleepy Body Spray Review

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! As by the time this post is up, it shall be World Sleep Day, (Friday 19th March), the lovely people at Lush PR, sent me the Twilight Sleepy Body Spray, to try and  I thought that I would talk to you a bit about my relationship with Lavender and Sleep and talk to you all about my thoughts on the Spray. 

A picture of a big black spray bottle with a arched domed black label with twilight in big white font with sleepy body spray in small white font and LUSH in small black font on a bright background


List Of Ingredients: 

Organic DRF Alcohol Water (Aqua) Perfume Glycerine Lavender Oil *Linalool Benzoin Resinoid Tonka Absolute Ylang Ylang Oil *Benzyl Benzoate *Benzyl Cinnamate *Benzyl Salicylate *Cinnamal *Coumarin *Eugenol *Farnesol *Geraniol *Isoeugenol *Limonene

Twilight was actually one of the first bath bombs that I tried from Lush, so having a spray version of it reminds me of the soothing sweet scent from when I was first getting into Lush. This scent contains Lavender, Tonka, Benzoin Resinoid and Ylang Ylang. To me the Lavender and Tonka are the main two stars of this show. The others just kinda help to make the Lavender and Tonic shine more. The mixture of Lavender and Tonka create a sort of soothing herbal yet malty conception. The best way to describe it is a sort of Lavender infused Horlicks hot drink. 

Whilst I was at University, I actually was using Lavender Oil every now and again on my pillow to help me drift off to sleep, but pouring it out of a little vial always was so fiddly so I am now glad I can get my soothing fix in an easy to spray bottle. I received this whilst recovering from having my first COVID vaccine and juggling two chunky University assignment deadlines for my Masters Degree so I definitely needed something to help me calm down and get to sleep soundly as I was either not able to sleep properly sometimes from the side effects or staying up quite late from working on my assignments. I used this for a good week and every time, it helped me to calm down a bit which then lead to me slowly drifting off easier when I needed some sleep. If you aren't a big fan of Lavender, then I would suggest looking at maybe Honey I Washed The Kids, or, Let The Good Times Roll Body Spray's for creamy soothing scents. If you want something a little bit more herbal then I'd suggest maybe, Guardians Of The Forest Body Spray 

This can be sprayed onto a pillow before bed, onto bed sheets, pyjamas, sprayed in the air to scent a room, and on the skin as a body spray. I used this spray as both a pillow spray and a body spray. I loved it as a pillow spray as it just made my surroundings calm before going to bed. I also loved this as a body spray, as it meant if I felt anxious then I could take a deep breath, smell a nice soothing scent and calm down. 

The performance of this fragrance is amazing. When you spray it, it releases a very strong Lavender note with a tiny touch of the Ylang Ylang, and Tonka, then about four hours in for me, the Tonka takes over for a bit whilst still having a bit of the Lavender embedded in it. I sprayed this at the beginning of a day when I was busy rushing and writing some things for an assignment and for drafting a few blog posts and even by the time I was settling down to go to bed I could still smell it on my skin. I loved that it lasted that long that it was helping me when I wanted to go to bed. 

Would I buy it again? I think that I would. I love how a little goes a long way and I love that it has so much dimension for a spray that helps you relax. I always think that the Body Sprays from Lush are great value as you get so much product for £20 and a bottle lasts so long. I do think that this has a time and place though so I don't think that I will be using it all the time. I will be using this for months to come and hopefully it will help me relax and unwind when the world gets back to being busy when things open back up within the UK.

Lush Honey I Washed The Kids Body Spray Review

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post. I thought that today I would talk to you all about the Honey I Washed The Kids Body Spray from Lush. 

Before I talk about the Body Spray itself, there is a bit of a backstory to the Honey I Washed The Kids for me. When I was studying at College, I used to wear the sweet scent quite a bit, via using the Soap and Shower Gel that is sold at Lush. For the first few months of meeting Michelle and getting to know her, I wore this scent quite a lot. This slowly meant that Michelle associated me with the scent therefore I have forever waited for a Body Spray to come out to evoke the nostalgic memories of when I was first starting out at College. 

A black spray bottle filled with light coloured liquid with a black rectangular black label with lush honey I washed the kids body spray in white font on a bright background


List Of Ingredients: 

DRF Alcohol Water (Aqua) Perfume Glycerine Bergamot Oil Brazilian Orange Oil Amyl Cinnamal Butylphenyl Methylpropional Citronellol *Limonene *Linalool

The spray bottle itself had a medium sort of spray strength to it. When I have tried other Body Sprays in the past, I have sometimes noticed that some have a very strong spray strength which means that your arm gets coated in one spray of fragrances and other times not. 

The smell of this product is gorgeous. If you haven't tried anything from the Honey I Washed The Kids range, then, the best way to describe this fragrance is that it is a slightly bright yet creamy toffee fragrance. Yes I know, it's weird that Orange and Bergamot make up a toffee like fragrance but weirdly it works. I think the Orange notes comes through as a more deep Orange compared to an Orange scent that dominates the fragrance and the Bergamot brings the sweetness to create this divinely dessert like fragrance. 

The fragrance was super strong when I first sprayed it onto my skin. Surprisingly, it settled down quite quickly and left a light citrus and creamy scent in the air. I checked on the scent all day whilst out and about. I came to the conclusion that, this product keeps it's signature toffee like scent going on all day but once it has initially kicked you in the face via the strength it settles and reminds you that it is still there in short bursts of scent instead of kicking you in the face with fragrance for an hour and then disappearing into thin air. 

Would I buy it again? I think that I would. I love the scent and I love that it is strong but not overly strong to the point that you get sick of wearing it as soon as you've sprayed it. I also think its a great one to wear on maybe the colder nights. I just love that its a cosy scent but still has the ability to uplift and cheer you up at the same time.
