Love Island

This is a new product for Valentines 2023. My short Tub Demo Video is coming and will be attached to this post shortly.

This is a Lush bath melt. Lush has had many different designs of bath melts through the yearsz This Love Island bath melt is reminiscent of their original cupcake shaped bath melts. Their most famous cupcake type is called ‘Floating Island’. So tou can see the play on words of ‘Love Island.

Floating island is a dessert. And Love Island is the name of a reality show in England about couples on an island.

The scent if Love Island is that of the Lush Keep it Fluffy’ Lush has made the perfume a few times throughout the years since 2004 when they opened their sister company ‘B Never Too Bust To Be Beautiful’.

The fragrance is a floral and fruity combination made with rose, lemon, jasmine, bergamot.

Lush has created many kinds of different products in the scent. Their sister company B Never also made candles, incense, liquid bath oil, bath powder, etc.

The Love Island bath melt spins around the tub 😊

This bath melt’s scent isnt very strong. Its nice, but it could be stronger imo.

The bath melt is a rose color with tiny silver sparkle mixed throughout.

I would give this a 4 out of 5. Mostly because i love the shape, the look, and the scent.

Confetti perfume

I made a video describing this scent. The video is below, just go to 7:32 in the video for Confetti.

Confetti                                €90/£70 for 100ml

Emma’s initial workings were based on Rose, Violet, Coffee and Pear as a combination. Rowena smelt the perfume and thought it smelt of Sugar Almonds (a pastel coloured candy Almond – Usually found as a gift on the table at British Weddings). In Italy they have the same tradition for celebratory events and the Sugar Almonds are known as Confetti – which was a perfect fit …so much so, that this will be Emma’s signature scent for her wedding in 2020. 

Ingredients: Violet leaf absolute, Rose oIl, sandalwood oil

QI: DRF Alcohol, Perfume, Alpha-Isomethyl ionone, Water (Aqua), Glycerine, Geraniol, Rose Oil (Rosa damascena), Violet Leaf Absolute (Viola odorata), Sandalwood Oil (Santalum austro-caledonicum vieill), *Benzyl Alcohol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Cinnamate, *Cinnamal, *Citral, *Citronellol, *Eugenol, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool

Lush Grassroots perfume

5 out of 5 rating

What a surprise to get this in the mail. 😱

Only sold at the Lush Italy Perfume Library.

As i show in the video below, the wrap that this was wrapped in at the store is gorgeous. A beautiful burnished rose print and So silky.

This perfume was made in the Charity pot lotion scent, but at a very high concentration (it’s a strong perfume).

It’s a Proper Eau de Parfum, with loads of regenerative ingredients from different projects.

Geranium from Kenya, Rosewood Oil from Peru, Ylang Ylang oil from Ghana, and Vanilla from madagascar.

And the unique Scent Cube made with sustainable cork as a lid.

It’s got a slightly sweet chocolatey note, with a soft blanket of ylang ylang, and a lovely, slight woodiness.

Fantabulosa

5 out of 5 rating

Oi, darling, varda a new smellie? This intriguing, sophisticatedly sweet bananary perfume is sure to take your fancy. Unique, chic and unforgettable – it’s one to wear.

Originally a Be Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful perfume, released under a different name in 2004.

This fragrance used to be called ‘Ladyboy’ when Lush was called ‘B Never Too Busy to be Beautiful ‘. It is made with oak moss, seaweed, violet, and some note that is banana-ish.

Lush has made three violet forward perfumes.

Tuca Tuca, Ladyboy/Fantabulosa, and V.

Fantabulosa does have an undernote of mossiness because of the oak moss and seaweed oils in it.

I would describe this scent as a fruity floral, with primary violet note, and it’s a sweet violet, but not as sweet as Lush other violet perfume Tuca Tuca.

The yellow solid bybble bar inthe shape of a perfume bottle is also called ‘Fantabulosa’, and has the samescent as the Fantabulosa perfume and the Lush Ladyboy perfume. Notice the both have a banana on them.

This scent was originally made for men and women. one of Lush first unisex scents. It was wildly popular. lush made a soap, shower gel, etc of this scent.

Fabulosa is a fairly long lasting fragrance as well, staying on my skin a good amount of time before reapplication was necessary.

If you like unusual scents that are sweet, or even if you love violet, you’ll enjoy Fantabulosa.

Here’s a video i made describing the scent in depth.

List of ingredients

Goddess Perfume

5 out of 5 rating. The perfume was made in the same scent as the original bath bomb, The bath bomb was made for Ariana Grande’s video ‘God is a Woman’.

The scent of the perfume and the bath bomb is made in the Lush “Zen” soap fragrance. Its a combination of earthy, green and floral notes.

I describe the fragrance in detail in my video below. I love this fragrance! That’s no. surprise i guess because i loved the Zen soap from which this scent comes from.

Jack Constantine at Lush mimicked the gorgeous muted colors of blue, lilac, gray, silver, green in the video within the bath bomb.

Its scent is a combination of earthy, green and floral. It smells like the video looks if that makes sense. I think Jack did an excellent job of creating the feel and vibe of Ariana’s video into this perfume scent.

5 out of 5 rating

There is also a Goddess perfume oil, which has a lot more staying power than the spray perfume.

Sultana of Fragrance

Here’s a demo and review video i recorded of my Lush UK Forum special Sultana perfume. Sultana is the Lush ‘Blackberry Bomb‘ scent.

Ingredients: DRF Alcohol, Perfume, Olibanum Oil (Boswellia carterii), Bergamot Oil (Citrus Aurantium bergamia), *Citral, *Limonene, *Linalool.

Honey I Washed the Kids perfume liquid

Description: Lush International (UK) has a party/contest for forum members. In this one in 2005, we were allowed to all vote for our favorite Lush products scent to be made for forum members into a Lush perfume, for that one time only. HIWTK won as well as Snowcake, Silky Underwear, American Cream, Potion and Fever. These were available in either 30g or 60g, in lovely Lush perfume bottles.

Ingredients of the HIWTK scent: $40.00 30g or $60.00 for 60g
Honey (Mel), Aloe Vera Extract (Aloe barbadensis), Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus dulcis), Bergamot Oil (Citrus bergamia), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides),

Review: This Lush perfume smells exactly like the Lush Honey I Washed Kids soap that they made it to smell like. Lush made this perfume with the same ingredients that HIWTK has, sweet orange oil, etc for the yummy toffee scent. The scent of HIWTK seems to be stronger in the perfume than any of the other HIWTK products. It lasts longer than I thought it would on my skin. While I do like HIWTK soap and ballistic, I’m not a rabid fan of the fragrance like some folks are. But that said, the perfume is the perfect thing to get if you are a rabid fan of the HIWTK scent.

Here’s a video i made of it

Review: This is one Lush perfume that lasts, you don’t have to re-apply like Potion say, HIWTK or Prince. I’m not complety nuts about the American Cream scent. I mean I like it, I use it. But it’s not like my favorite scent combo of all time so this would make it a three rating. This perfume did however get me more into the American Cream scent, and the perfume’s scent does last longer than most. This gets a 3 rating.

Here’s a short video i made showing american cream perfume
