Customer Reviews

Try this with Ne Worry Pas5
Toss a LUSH "Ne Worry Pas" in the bath and then wash with this soap and you will be amazed at the beautiful warm fragrance that seems to float around you for the next day. This is one of the best soaps if you enjoy heady jasmine, vetivert and honeysuckle. I like this as much as Sultana of Soap which is currently scenting up my entire office....mmmm so delicious. You can put the soaps around the house to scent entire rooms with essential oils.

~The Rebecca Review

Ecstatic cleanliness5
I just noticed that Amazon sells this seductive soap, and I'll order here next time. My husband and I are so addicted to Alkmaar that we've been driving for two hours to Montreal every few months to buy it.

Alkmaar is not cheap, and off and on we try to do without it. But the memory of that heady scent and sensation is impossible to dismiss from memory. We always go back to it.

Bathing with Alkmaar is an indescribably delicious experience. The bar is so creamy it seems to melt silkily all over your body - and frankly, it does dissolve rather quickly. This is not your long-lasting, economical, big-family soap. Only true devotees will want to pay the price for the ephemeral joys of Alkmaar.

It's quite impossible to exaggerate the exquisite effect of the jasmine fragrance. A fresh bar of Alkmaar makes your whole bathroom smell heavenly. The sultry Alkmaar scent lingers subtly on your skin. A co-worker who hugged my husband remarked on how good he smelled. Alkmaar combines a perfume, an after-shave, a deodorant and a room freshener all in one.

At one time there seemed to be some danger that Lush would discontinue Alkmaar. The threat passed, however, and we hope never to go through that again.

So yes, I would definitely recommend Alkmaar to sensuous, self-indulgent, pleasure-loving bathers everywhere.

Amazing skin care product!5
We learned about this soap when our daughter brought us back a sample from Israel; we wish we had known about it years ago! It has completely cleared up the KP on my arms, which I have had all of my life. My husband has had a skin condition on his arms that even the dermatologist was baffled by. It is now starting to clear up! I can not say enough positive things about this product, it truly is amazing.

Absolute Delight Bath Bomb by LUSH

Product Description

If Sex Bomb is the one you take on a hot date, Absolute Delight is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. It may not be as bright and flashy but it's gentle and kind; the kind of bomb that you never tire of coming home to. We scent it with Turkish rose absolute and add balancing geranium, relaxing sandalwood and sensual jasmine. As it's a little like Turkish Delight (that rose-flavored confection dusted with icing sugar), we thought the name Absolute Delight summed it up perfectly.

Customer Reviews

Absolutely Rose5
Absolute Delight is a bath bomb with a beautiful rose scent- not too sweet, not too cloying, not too stuffy. Think of a fresh rose in a summer garden, and you've pretty much got this bath bomb. Add to that a beautiful pink color and a long-lasting scent, and you've got a bath that's absolutely delightful indeed.

A Ring of Roses Buttercream by LUSH

Product Description

Roses have been queenly since the days of Cleopatra when the sultry ruler demanded that the canals be filled with them to scent her arrival by boat. Beyond its lovely fragrance, rose absolute also smoothes and rejuvenates skin. Ring of Roses has a glycerine base (an ingredient traditionally paired with rosewater) and plenty of cocoa butter to soften and pamper your skin as you bathe. Try it for shaving too. Either way, you'll feel like royalty. Note: This product may melt and is NOT guaranteed to arrive solid during the summer months!

More like Ring of Lemon!3
Smells like lemons, or some sort of citrus. I didn't think it was all that great. It got me clean, merh.

Note too rosey, but sweet all the same5
I was actually hoping for a stronger rose scent - but this is a blend of citrus and rose - an odd, yet very very appealing aroma. I shaved off a small slice to keep in the bathroom so that I don't waste it by over exposure to water. (I don't have heating in my apt, and its cold, so I'm not worried about it having to go in a fridge for storage since its possible the temperature is the same at the moment. (though i do keep the larger chunk in the fridge anyway)
Its an amazing fragrance - very sensual, yet invigorating. And works great as a moisturizing cleanser.
I'm definitely going to get this one again!

If you love roses, this is for you.3
I got this as a free sample from my friend, and was really excited to use it. I'm not a fan of rose smells, so when I got this Butter Cream, I already knew I wouldn't like the smell. But for those of you who like roses, this soap smells exactly like it. Ring of Roses is one of LUSH's Butter Creams, which is basically a hand or body soap that is packed with cocoa/shea butter so it's super moisturizing. I really like how this Butter Cream left my skin (smooth, soft and moisturized), but I really didn't care for the smell which is why I took off a couple of stars. The smell is the only negative thing about this soap, and that's just a preference thing. I still really liked how the soap worked.

I will, however, be buying other Butter Creams from LUSH. They have one that smells just like chocolate (Heavenly Bodies)and it leaves your skin super soft as well.
