I purchased a large bottle of this in last years boxing day sale. I think it was around $15 and although I'd never smelled this gel in store, I liked the soap and couldn't pass up this deal. Once it arrived in the post, I sniffed it and just thought it was way too strong for me so put it away. I came across it again a couple of months ago and realised it was coming close to the best before date so I needed to use it up.
This just comes in a standard lush shower gel bottle with a flip cap and clear plastic. It has the best before date and who made it on a handy sticker. I have recently found out that shower gels from lush do last longer than what they say on the sticker too!
This gel looks like a caramel in the bottle and it has quite a thick consistency, funnily enough it reminds me of honey. The scent of this is very heavy and can be definitely overwhelming. It has a very intense toffee scent and then of course it has the strong honey scent alongside. I find it lathers up really well and really scents the bathroom and my body nicely. I use body lotion and also perfume so I'm not sure how long this scent will last by itself on your body. I didn't enjoy this the first few times I used it but then slowly I started to like it and that like quickly grew to love. In fact I put this bottle away to use another scent and I really missed this. I don't have too much of this bottle left but I don't want to be without it so I will be purchasing another one probably pretty quickly afterwards. I even purchased a solid perfume of this scent as well!
I'd definitely say to go to a lush store and have a sniff of this. It really is an acquired scent I feel, but maybe give it a chance and you might fall in love like I have.
After falling in love with the ‘Honey I washed the Kids’ Soap, I was so excited to see this product being released. I don’t really like using soap (unless it’s Lush) and would choose shower gel over soap any day.
Like most lush shower gels, this one comes in a plastic bottle with a black lid. Simple design, nothing fancy but it sits up in the shower easily, and doesn’t fall over all the time so already its better than other shower gel bottles. However, when the shower gel is nears the end, it is hard to get the last bit out, as this bottle does not sit well upside down.
The shower gel is beautiful in regards to consistency! Its not too thick, and not too thin. It’s easy to squeeze out of the bottle and all that too. It’s a beautiful toffee colour, and it smells like toffee as well, but to me the smell is a bit stronger, and harsher than that of the soap.
This gel lathers up nicely and fills my shower with a beautiful warm toffee smell, but once again it isn’t the same smell as the soap, and I will admit I am a little bit disappointed about that because to my nose, that soap fragrance is pure perfection.
Overall, this is a nice shower gel. I didn’t love the scent as much as I thought I would though and for that reason I would not repurchase.
