Tangy lemons

I love this soap first impression to me when I first had a sniff of this was GOOD LORD ITS TANGY FRUITS!! Can you even buy tangy fruits anymore?! Anyway it is that sweet, citrusy scent and ooooh I just wanted to eat it.

After a moment of telling myself that, no soap is not ok to eat, I was mesmerised by the look of this soap it's a cream colour with white soap chucks through it, it looks quite effective it's like snow flakes have been captured inside the soap.

The scent of this soap, yes it is like tangy fruits or a nice sticky lemon meringue pie it is delish. It's a real sweet citrus smell that I can't get enough of. I do believe lemon is an awakening scent, a mind clearer and after using this I do feel like I am more focused, great for when you get a bit of a "writers block" whilst writing reviews!!

It lathers nicely and doesn't leave my skin with that squeaky clean feeling, the scent lingers for an hour not as long as some lush soaps but it's still a good amount of time

The only thing that is slightly annoying and I'm being picky here, is its a very soft soap much like the rockstar soap and sultana of soap and it does get a slimy feel to it if it sits in a tiny bit of water so best to store on a draining rack. And cut your piece into smaller bits for extra longevity and incase the kids drop it in the bath! Love this soap and will buy it again

Why why do they do it to us Shaz? They were so good! I remember them at the movies and the odd tub that would get knocked over and all you could hear were tangy fruits bouncing down the wooden steps.. Ah the memories

Summerrrrr

I love lush soaps!! They all smell delicious. This is a pretty standard soap it doesn't do much for your skin but it smells amazing! I love using this in summer or in the morning to help wake me up, it smells just like lemons! It helps to add a nice glow to my skin; as it does say it tones. It's a perfect essential for summer and is sold all year round in lush so you can use it in winter to help wake you up on those cold mornings.

Lemony fresh!

I love Lush soaps and have used many of them. This one has a nice fresh lemon scent and is a solid bar. It leaves my skin feeling nice and clean and isn't drying. I found this soap didn't lather up much at all which is the reason I probably wouldn't get it again. It's a nice Lush product and has a great scent but I like ones that lather more. I still have the association that soap needs to be bubbly. There's many other Lush soaps that are my faves that I will be sticking to.

Tips: Cut your Lush soaps into smaller bits and take one into the shower at a time to reduce wastage.

I love lemon scents! I don't mind that some of Lush's soaps don't lather much, it makes me feel like they'll last longer :)

Bohemian Soap

Don't let looks deceive you, although this soap resembles a solid chunk of partially cooked scrambled eggs and is a little less appealing than a lot of other Lush soaps it's scent is to die for! It packs a zesty punch which is a perfect shower partner in the morning when I really need to wake up and feel refreshed for the day ahead. This suds up nicely on my exfoliating gloves and leaves my skin less stripped of its natural oils than some generic soap brands sometimes can plus it's lemony scent lingers on my skin for a few hours afterwards, it's like a gift that keeps on giving. My one downside is this particular soap seems to soften and melt away faster than others but in saying that a chunk still does last me a while.

Lush Bohemian Soap

I was gifted this an extra by a good friend and member of BR, I wanted to try this one so I was really happy she gifted it to me. I loved that she took note of how I like to use products that are sulfate-free and this soap has no sulfates in it. I has a nice fresh lemony citrus scent which I like go for the morning but also great at night. This soap didn't dry my skin out either. It lathers reasonably well and is good with a shower puff. It is a good soap I probably wouldn't repurchase it because Lush has so many options and I'd like to try more. It doesn't scent the skin but then a lot of soaps don't but it does leave you nice an clean.

Tips: Use with a shower puff if you want more lather.

Nice for gifting

If I am getting a gift for someone from Lush and I don't know if they have a bath, I usually get a chunk of this and a couple of other things. This is an inoffensive fresh bright citrus most people can get along with. For me personally as a citrus fiend I prefer the scent of Sandstone but don't love that the sand can't be sliced off the top anymore to avoid sand in your shower if you don't want it. So that's what makes this a better gift option. Some people I gifted to find it a bit drying but they said they also find bar soap generally to be drying so no surprise. I liked to use this in the morning, it's a nice wake up scent.

Tips: Do not leave any Lush soaps sitting in a solid soap dish unless you want to waste a bunch of money making sloppy goo.

Lovely smell

I got this given as a gift for my birthday last year, and although I don't often use bar soaps (I prefer liquid) I thought I would give this a go. My favourite thing about this soap is the smell. It has a lovely fresh and zingy scent. Lemony citrus is definitely the main smell.

In terms of the actual soap, it cleans your body well and removes dirt. However I found this bar soap to be a bit drying on the skin, which is what I find with most bar soaps. It almost cleaned my skin too well and gave it a "squeaky clean" feeling. I would definitely recommend following with a body moisturiser after your shower/bath.

The colour of this soap is a dreamy pale yellow colour. It Has a "hand made", melted honey comb sort of look which I love. There are pale white bubbles floating through the soap showing the hand made effect. My bar is about 100g I think which actually lasts ages. I don't use mine everyday but I would say that this whole bar would last around 3-4 months. I did find that the top of my soap started going soft when left inside a soap box, so I would recommend to leave the soap box lid open to air the soap.

Overall this soap was ok, but I would not be purchasing it again and I am not converted to bar soaps yet.

Tips: Follow with a body moisturiser

Refreshing lemon suds

The Bohemian soap is one of my favorite soaps at LUSH, scent wise you get a sweet lemon meringue scent that lingers for a few hours, it is a great pick me up and I like to use this soap in my morning showers.

It gives a good semi lather and conditions my skin leaving it hydrated and soft. It is cheaper than the regular LUSH soaps but I think it is because it doesn't last as long as the regular soaps, I found the Bohemian soap to dissolve more quickly compared to the other LUSH soaps so when I purchase this I get 200 grams instead of 100 grams.

This is a soap I use a lot and leaves me feeling refreshed and ready to start the day!

Lemon Lust

I was lucky enough to get this as a birthday present from one of my family. They know that citrus smells are my one true love besides sweet perfumes. There is something about the scent of lemon or lime. It puckers my face momentarily but after the tang passes I am amongst a citrus orchard in bliss!

It has an appearance that isn't very savory but it doesn't take away from how amazing the soap actually is. I am not usually a soap user but there is something about the Lush Bohemian Soap that has me coming back time and time again. I love how rustic they appear. They are sent in a random shape after being cut from a huge chunk to measure up to the 100g size. It gives my shower soap dish a little touch of something different.

It lathers up very easily which is what I love in a soap. I love bubbles so this is a sure way to my heart. There are two things that confirmed the 3 star rating for performance. The first thing I dislike about the soap is that it leaves my body very squeaky and dry which means I have to moisturize head to toe after use. The second thing is it develops a film of goo over the top which isn't pleasant feeling. I tend to need to wash it off every time I use it. It's just lucky that I adore the scent on my body so I am prepared to take these measures in order to keep using it.

The price is more than I would like to pay for a soap but Lush is my life and alot of their products are worth going back for despite the inflated price. I am stuck on buying from Lush because it promises cruelty free, and natural. All things I love so I am happy to continue buying this. It's worth my time and money!

Tips: Rinse off goo every use so it doesn't slip out of your fingers.

A Lush Classic

Lush's Bohemian Soap would be one of what I consider Lush's classic soaps. I cannot imagine Lush not having this soap.

It is a citrus soap, but quite gentle in it's scent. It's described as a simple clean soap and it really is, lemon oil is pretty much the only scent making it a simple clean scent and of course it is a well cleaning soap. Interestingly I don't find it as lemony smelling a sexy peel, I'm not sure why.

This soap cleans the body gently and is gender neutral in a pale yellow lemon scent so anyone can use it.

I recommend it.
