I have a short video below of this bath oil in my tub.
Lush description: Calm the storm as you unwind amongst clouds of mint and oakwood; you can almost smell the weather turning.
Lush made 15 different solid bath oils in 2014 as accompaniments to the new at the time Lush Gorilla perfumes. One of those perfumes was called ‘The smell of weather turning’.
There is mint and oakwood in both the perfume and this ‘Oil On Troubled Water’ bath oil. It does remind one of what it smells like in the air when a storm is coming. Before a storm the air can seem electric with ions. And then theres the petrichor smell.
The mint does remind me of the fresh, clean, cold air when it starts to rain, thunder and lightning.
And the woody note sort of warms up the mint with its woody comforting scent.
But honestly, THAT COLOR.
Stunning. Its a shimmery cobalt blue ball with the scent of a storm and having moisturizing properties. There is also some purple color here and there amongst the blue.
So this shot below is when Oil on Troubled Waters was just starting to melt and spread out in my hot, but not too hot, bath water. Also, it looks like when there is a puddle of rain water on the pavement with some blue oily substance on top. ‘Oil Over Troubled Water’
There are multiple references in the names of the perfume and the bath oil.
The oil on a rain puddle.
The lyrics to 70’s Simon and Garfunkle’s classic hit song ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’.
The smell of weather turning. Oil Over Troubled Waters
One comes before the other. The storm comes before the rain puddle.
I love the outstanding creativity that Lush had when they brought this whole concept together in a 1.5 inch bath oil ball.
Now below you can see the purple come out and the line of irridescent shimmer in the water.
😯😍
The scent of Oil On Troubled Water is medium strong. These little beauties dont make the water overly oily, it’s just the right amount of moisturizing.
Sometimes what i would do is have this bath oil with any green lush bath bomb. Then the result is green bath water with sparkly cobalt blue and purple streaks.
I would rate this a 5 out of 5.
Here’s a video i made of what this looks like in the tub
