This is one of three shower gels for Christmas 2021.
The ingredients list lists raisins as the first ingredients. Raisins? I don’t recall any raisins being in the original Plum Duff but 🤷🏼♀️
i LOVE this scent. It’s like a sexy but berryish and slightly sweet. Not citrussy, but fruity somewhat like The Comforter is fruity. Its got that same note that is in the Comforter shower gel that some people dont like. It’s a different scent than all the other Lush scent. At one time this was my FAVORITE. It was made in 1999. 😊it’s got tangerine and sandalwood in it as i recall.
like sexy sandalwood mixed with cotton candy or something.
But this Plum Duff shower gel isnt exactly like the original. But its still nice. Its a different scent for Lush Christmas shower gel, which i appreciate.
Here is the Plum Duff scent family
Plum Duff, Sugar Plum, Plum Duff letters, It’s a Date
Lush Spring 1999 UK description: Beautiful P Green Soap is very, very green – coloured with spinach and chlorophyll – made in a big block which looks rather like a deep, translucent freshwater pond with flowers and leaves floating on top. Fortunately, it doesn’t smell like one. However, it does have a deep, dark green scent [for those of you who smell in colour] with sandalwood, benzoin and a hint of tangerine, providing the delicious odour. Continuing the poetry theme, this one was inspired by The Owl and the Pussycat who, you may remember, went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat. (You get a slice off the 25 kilogram pond, not the whole thing, so you may get a slice of waxed flower or leaf.
(Dark leafy greens, light fruity note and slightly incensey)
See my Tub Demo Video of my Pooh Stix bath bomb below.
This bomb doesn’t color the water. It’s an old school classic lush bomb from 1998. It has stick pieces of cinnamon in the bath bomb. They are supposed to represent a game of throwing six into the river on a bridge in the book Winnie the Pooh’.
This is a fast fizzer in the tub. It fizzes away quickly. It smells spicy and licorice-y. I like black licorice and i love cinnamon. I’ve used this to perfume the bathroom or my bedroom. It smells yummy.
Spring 1999 UK Lush Times:Those who have read A.A. Milne’s books will know the game, Pooh sticks, invented by the bear of the same name. Each player drops a stick into a stream from one side of the bridge then runs to the other side to see whose stick comes out first. Lush’s Pooh Stix Ballistics contain liquorice root and cinnamon sticks so you and your friends can play your own version in the bath! It is a beige Ballistic, with a lovely scent of heady labdanum, made with aloe vera to nourish the skin.
Spring 2000 UK Lush Times:
Referring, of course, to Winnie the Pooh. When you’ve been out tramping through the Wild Wood, up hill and down dale, exploring, looking for heffalumps or just at work, here’s an easy way to play a version of that famous game at home. Drop a Pooh Stix in your bath, let it dissolve and it will release cinnamon and liquorice sticklets into your bath. All you have to do is whizz your hand under the surface of the water to make the sticklets rush about in exciting ways and form new equally exciting patterns on the water. Hurrah! As an added bonus there’s Aloe Vera — just great for the skin — rosewood, which is said to be balancing and warming, patchouli to banish lethargy, and heady, spicy pimentoberry that warms the emotions and is said to be an aphrodisiac. So during and/or after your bath you can rush about in exciting ways with a close friend just like the sticklets.
Lush 1999 description: A fresh, tangy but mellow bomb full of ferns and pieces of lemon grass, reminscent of a walk through a forest. As the water runs away you can read the pattern which the fern leaves make on the bath, like reading your fortune in tea leaves in the bottom of a cup. This is Lush’s homage to daft fads. It is scented with delightful lemon grass oil, which we shall continue to use long after the current trend for sticking it in every dish in astonishingly expensive London restaurants has long since been forgotten.
I was surprised at how much plant material thereis in this bath bomb. It definitely lives up to it’s name. Tons of plant stuff.
Alsosurprising to me is the smell. I love the smell. It’s not like anything i’ve smelled before bath bomb wise. It’s fresh, lemongrass and the pleasant smell of greenery. The first time i used this bath bomb i didn’t use anything to contain the pieces of ferns. The second time i used this is got a small kitchen strainer and put the bomb in there so i got just the water, not the plants.
Lush 1999 UK description: Drop a flower garden in your tub.
Ingredients: Marigold, Chamomile, Amaranth petals and Geranium oil.
This is a floral scented ballistic with lots of amaranth flower petals. It’s floral but it’s a bright lightly sweet floral. The Chamomile lends it’s brightness to it so that the floral isn’t too floral, more of a fresh Spring floral scent. I would use this again.
Lush 1999 description: This is the ideal present for everyone who is celebrating but not drinking for reasons of health, religion, calorie counting, age or having gone a bit too far last time you celebrated and not wanting to do it again for while (Nathan? Are you reading this?) Each Bom Perignon contains two reviving tangerine and grapefruit Ballistics;throw one in the bath whenever you feel like celebrating (or when you’ve celebrated a bit too much the previous night).
This is cute. Shaped like a bottle with a flat back. The scent is what i would’ve liked Champagne Snow Showers/Celebrate to smell like. It’s more fruity. It’s a fast fizzer. Doesn’t turn the water any particular color. The scent is a strong, slightly sweet grapefruit. The green foil covering was only available back in 1999 because it was sold as a gift.
