Lush will be making the soap in the March 2026 Kitchen subscription box! 👏🏼
I still have an unopened powder and some perfume.
i’ll try to take some more current pictures. I took these photos below in 2005 and 2010.
Ylang Ylang, Carnation, Violet, Galbanum, and Elemi oil
The scent of Flower Market is close to what Lush ‘Potion’ is like with its spicy carnation scent, but with a bit more floral notes of violet and ylang ylang. It’s also got an earthy note of galbanum. Galbanum is a sharp, earthy, green note, like in fragrances like Chanel No. 19.
Galbanum is a bitter, musky, and intensely green odor, sometimes described as metallic. It’s often seen with violet in perfumes. It contrasts with the sweet floral scent of violet.

Violet Cream bubble bars
This is a new bubble bar for Mother’s Day 2021. Mother’s Day comes earlier in Europe than it is here in the U.S.
I think that, because of the remarkable design of it, and the lovely sweet violet scent, this is one of the best bubble bars Lush has made in years.
It’s a regular squishy bubble bar, not a reusable.
It’s just like a cream violet, it’s even got some cream in the middle.
Even though there is a mesmerizing green-blue colored glitter on the outside, this bar doesn’t make glittery water, in case you were curious.
Thi bar is worthy of my buying six more of them.
I’ll keep them in my dark closet or my dark lingerie drawer so the color stays as long as possible and i’ll keep them in something air tight so they don’t harden up.
These are only available for a limited time basis, just for Mother’s Day 2021.
This bubble bar makes lots of creamy bubbles.
Lush How to use suggestions: Crumble under running water and allow the uplifting violet and bergamot scented bubbles to build on top of skin-softening lilac waters. Smell familiar? This bubble bar shares a scent with our Daddy-o shampoo and conditioner range.
Lush How to store suggestions: Like any soft-centred treat, keep cool and dry until the moment of indulgence and feel good knowing the rose absolute is sourced from our regenerative rose projectin Pakistan.
These two: Daddyo shampoo and Violet Cream conditioner are the same scent as this Violet Cream bubble bar, all of them made with rose, violet, bergamot and lime
“Roses are red, violets suit you. Sink into the lilac-hued waters of this floral classic. Posies of violet and spicy clove fragrance and soften your skin. The Ancient Greeks used violets in love potions and considered it a symbol of fertility and love – why not be seduced by this sweet, purple bath?”
Review: The classic spicy “Bathos” bubble bar gives great looking, deep purple water. It has the strong scent of sweet violets and spicy cloves. Barthes is VERY fragrant. There’s also a teeny bit of dark green glitter on the top. This bubble bar can stand alone without being combined with anything. 5 stars. *****
Before this bubble bar existed there was a liquid bubble bath called Bathos which had the same scent as the bubble bar that came later, but the liquid one was dark green. And before that they had a bath bomb called Bathosphere around 1999 or so which was green and had the same scent.
you can see my bathos perfume from Lush UK in my photo below
– Swirly purple-hued baths that smell like violet flavoured sweets.
– The scent of Daddy-O shampoo, Sugar Daddy-O solid conditioner, or Kerbside Violet perfume. – Taking time to appreciate the small, fleeting moments in life.”
Benefits:
– Violet leaf has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects on the skin.
– The scent of violets help to settle your mood and mind, aiding restful sleep.
– Ylang ylang oil helps to reassure and uplift, leaving you feeling happy and carefree.
How to use: Crumble under running water to fill your bath with purple rain and fluffy white bubbles. How to store: Keep in a cool, dry place to keep this potent bubble bar ultra-violet.
Sometimes I like to go the “all purple” route, too and have Bathos with a Lush Jingle Spells bath bomb or a Lush Blackberry Bomb.
By the way, here’s a picture of a Bathos that is 5 years old. The dates on the wrapper there. I found it at the bottom of one of my lush tupperware tubs.
A more recent tub demo video
Here’s a not very recent demo video i made a long time ago.
Lush Times 2006 Description: If you prefer to keep your bath to yourself and wouldn’t dream of allowing anyone else anywhere near the bathroom when you’re in there naked, please don’t allow the following suggestion to detract from your enjoyment of a bubbly, mauve Bathos bath. If you prefer to share your bath for reasons of ecological soundness or just plain fun, then Bathos is absolutely ideal! We make it with some of most sensual, relaxing essential oils on the planet, including lots of violet leaf which is reputed to help people remember why they got together in the first place. Don’t put one of these in the bath in the morning on a workday. Save it for later.

Here’s what the gold in the middle looks like
these new soaps are made in a different way. The designs are made via 3D laser cutting. Also, these soaps are made to stand up so they’re easier to hold and easier to stand up and be seen in the shower or bath.
They have more fragrance to stay on the skin after you’ve washed, and they’re full of luxurious skin moisturizing oils and butters.
Also, they have a bit of bicarb in them for a foamy effect.
Lush Times: GRAB YOUR PARTNER…It has a soothing extract of fresh rose petals, moisturising cocoa and shea butters, and a seductive violet scent that flirts with sensuality. It’s a massage experience that will do all the work for you. Grab the bar, dim the lights, and tuca tuca! After the song inspired such raucous enthusiasm, it seemed almost absurd not to have a Tuca Tuca Massage Bar to get people touching each other.
It’s the same scent as Lush ‘Violet Nights’ bath oil
Everything in my picture below, except the ultraviolet bubble bar and the kerbside violet perfume are in the same scent family as tuca tuca.
Below is my pic of a bottle of Violet Nights from 1993, when Lush were called ‘Cosmetics To Go’.
2006 Review: What a lovely smelling ballistic. It’s so violet-y and pretty but not too strong a violet. I love the shiny satin-like purple stuff in the middle, great color. It made kind of a sandy colored water with such a creamy consistency.
Reminds me of a milk bath. Must be because Lush puts soy milk in this.
If you combine this with a Bathos bubble bar which is purple, and has violet oil in it, that would be a great pairing. Maybe wash you hair with some violet-y Lush DaddyO shampoo, and then a light spritz of Lush “V” perfume should send you on your way to Violet Valhalla. I think this could be a classic Lush bomb.
2015 Review: I like this as much as i liked it when it came out originally. It’s a milky violet and it’s a slow, silent fizzer, it’s just lovely. A milky color with the little purple dot of color adding a last minute drop of color in the middle of all the creamy white color.
Lush 2006 description: You can just imagine the looks on the faces of all the Lush ballistic makers when they found out that as well as stirring the mixture, scooping it out and putting it into the two halves of the mold, that they also had to put in a miniscule magic grotto into each one! Fortunately, as Ne Worry Pas is scented with soothing bergamot oil and jasmine essential oils they’ll be smiling despite themselves. The plan is this: take your Ne Worry Pas, whisper your worries into the grotto, then let them fizz away into the milky (soya) bath water. After a lovely refreshing bath, they’ll disappear down the plughole forever!
Here’s a video i made of what Ne Worry Pas looks like in the tub for you 🙂
A Reusable bubble bar in a divining pendulum shape. How cool this idea. I think this is one of my favorite new products. It’s purple, but covered in a Coppery shimmer. It smells of lovely violet floral with a touch of thyme and patchouli. It mostly smells of violet.
The 3 minute video even further below is the 3 minute version which shows the water turning purple, shows the bubbles, shows the glitter in the water, etc. This shorter one here just shows it spinning above the tub. 😊
Here’s a youtube video i made of what the Divination reusable bubble bar looks like in the bath.
Two of these are actually renamed shower gels from the Lush sister company ‘B Never Too Busy To Be beautiful’ shop in England.
Beautiful is ‘1000 Kisses Deep’ scent.
Wash That Man Right out of My Hair is the ‘Cocktail’ scent.
This Don’t Rain on My Parade below shower gel is a teal, blue colour. Scented with blueberry juice, vanilla, cassie, voilet leaf, ylang ylang and sandalwood. It’s sweet and floral and good.
I poured it on a white plate so you can see the color.
similar to Ultraviolet but sweeter. It’s the same scent as their “Tuca Tuca” massage bar, and ‘Violet Nights’ bath oil. Except with this shower gel they do add blueberry juice, but it doesn’t change the scent much.
250g (8oz) £9.50 (17.50)
Here’s a “family reunion portrait” of all the Lush products throughout the years which have this same scent, including the large sized wash card in the back. Its a wash card/paper soap.
the front two called ultraviolet arent in this scent family but all the others are.
Here’s a video i made of it where i discuss the scent of Don’t Rain on my Parade and the other two shower gels in more detail 🙂
This was the first producct that Lush had made with the “Bathos” fragrance. Violet and clove. It was green. Years later Lush made a green liquid “Bathos” bubble bath. A couple of years later Lush made the purple bubble bar called “Bathos”.
Vegan
1998 This was a Lush ballistic that was made because of a user contest in which each person submitted a “colour therapy” ballistic idea. Bathosphere won, so did Waving Not Drowning. I believe this was a violet ballistic. (Bathos-sphere)
4 out of 5 rating for the purple versions i tried below throughout the years.
2.5 out of 5 for This latest version that i bought from lush. It was NOT like the ones i have pictured below. This new one that we bought for the May subscription box is the ugliest color. Its a red/green or brown green color. I put some in a glass for the picture. What happened?! It also has more of a bitter note to it. Maybe i just got a bad bottle or it was a bad batch. It still has the violet notes in it, its just theres an extra note in here that ttpically isn’t.
See my video demo of the Violet nights bath oil below.
Viilet nights is a thin, purple liquid that turns milky white when it hits the water.
Its got a similar scent to Lush’s ‘Tuca Tuca’ perfume. It’s a sweet violet and ylang ylang florals, with some vanilla, vetivert and sandalwood.
I dont particularly like the vetivert in here but im in the minority with that i think.
Violet, sandalwood, vanilla, ylang ylang.
A former ‘Cosmetics To Go’ company product, which Lush introduced back in 2011, and again in the Lush Kitchen in 2014. Lush is making for us once again in Nov 1 2015 in their online Lush Kitchen.
Here is the bottle of Violet Nights from when Lush was called Cosmetics To Go.
In this video below i have a bottle of Violet Nights on my YouTube channel, go forward to 13:40
Here’s a picture of the Bathos Bath Foam:
