It’s got lime, neroli, and frankincense.  It smells like perfume=y limes. It’s an airy scent. Slightly sweet.

Lush Times: When Jack Constantine reinvented the bath ballistic, he came up with this spooky bomb that symbolised the Day of the Dead festival. He used marigold petals to give it an authentic feel and gave it a kick with essential oil pressed from the juicy lime, a Mexican favourite with food and alcohol. Calavera changes colour and looks like a magical, eerie celebration in the water – just like the extraordinary celebrations that happen in Mexico. Stock up while you can, it won’t be around forever.

Here’s a demo and review video i made of this Lush 2016 Calavera in the bath

Calacas shower gel (currently called ‘Zesty’)

5 out of 5

See my demo and review video of Calacas shower gel and other lush products with this same “Calacas’ scent below.

Lush changed the name to Zesty a couple og years ago…for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️

There are four colors of Calacas shower gel; green, yellow, orange, and one that is more iridescent and has both green and yellow.

Calacas shower gel was first made in a green color in 2011.  It has the “Day of the Dead” lush fragrance.  Lime oil, neroli oil.  It smell slike a light, fragrant perfume.  It’s citrussy but with Frankincense which is resinous and is sometimes in incense and is wonderful.

Like Lime pastille candies but not as sweet.  It’s beautiful.

Calacas means Skull of Skeleton in Spanish. And we have a Mexican holiday called ‘Dia de Los Muertos’ which means ‘Day of the Dead’. On that day we remember our relatives who have passed on.

Here’s a picture i took of all the Lush products that have been made in the same fragrance.

Heres the Lady Catrina soap in the store with a big slice cut off of it. 😊

Here’s my scent family portrait that i made in 2007. Since then there have been many other products made by Lush in the Calacas scent. Someday ill add the new ones to a list here.
