Last Christmas I received this product which made me laugh because I don't like shower gels and I don't like rose scented - anything.
I didn't have high hopes for this at all so I wasn't surprised when I wrinkled my nose once the scent was out in in the open. Maybe it's the shower diva in me, but I kid you not I was overwhelmed with the scent in the shower it actually left me feeling woozy a few times haha.
It comes in the typical plastic bottles most of Lush's liquid products are packaged in. I'm not a huge fan of them because I find that as you near the bottom it becomes harder to get the remaining product out.
The consistency of the product is great and is easy to spread over the body. I don't notice much of a difference on whether it leaves my skin soft or moisturised because I regularly exfoliate and moisturize my body using other products.
My main issue is the scent. I seriously smelled like I had rolled around in pot pourri. It was a tad too intense for me that I didn't even want to dry myself off because I didn't want my towel to smell like that too.
The interesting thing however is that once the product has time to settle into the skin; it gives off this light warm rose scent - subtle but definitely in the air - just beautiful. Beautiful enough for me to repurchase? No, I'll just stick to my beloved soaps.
I’ve heard so much about this product that I was sorry to find it quite average.I got in the I’ll Be Home For Christmas box at New Year.
It comes in a plain pop top bottle with lush branding.The smell is pleasant, very rose-y, as you’d expect. I don’t find it detectable on my skin after I’ve dried off though.
I like that it dissolves immediately into the water (none of the usual lumps that I’m noticing are quite characteristic of Lush products). I don’t notice much lathering happening unfortunately.
All in all, not one of the better shower gels I’ve used and not the worst, but it’s quite pricey in the greater scheme of shower gels, so I probably won’t repurchase.
