The Comforter Bath Bomb

The Comforter is one of those scents that reminds me of the early days, when I first began investing in Lush. Back then everything was new and exciting, and I could never envisage myself buying and trying every product in store, let alone knowing enough about them to start a blog. It amazes me now when I realise that I have tried nearly two thousand products since that period in my life, and could still tell you about nearly every single one of them.

What also amazes me is the fact that The Comforter Bath Bomb is not part of the regular range, having been there since the beginning of time. It's a fragrance that wins over many hearts, especially when consumers are first getting into the company, and would be a great seller for those of us who crave blackcurrant scented products constantly.

One of twelve limited edition bath bombs to come out online recently, this release, along with the new Blackberry Bath Bomb, sports a new 'bobbly' design, and offers a wonderfully strong yet fruity smell that'll win you over very quickly. The fact that it looks like something out of Wonka's chocolate factory only serves to make you salivate over this lovely release.

Containing cassis absolute, as well as bergamot and cypress oils, The Comforter offers a beautifully sweet and powdery fruity smell. The former ingredient brings forth the famous blackcurrant (berry) note, while the cypress oil both adds a rich and slightly resinous undertone, and grounds the whole aroma, so that it doesn't evaporate as quickly as a lot of fruity smells do. This sultry element of the cypress oil is what allows the blackcurrant aroma to be as warming and rounded as it is.

To my nose, The Comforter Bath Bomb is as close to the scent of the original bubble bar as you can get. Obviously, the fact that it's a bath bomb means that there is the dry, powdery edge to the fragrance that you don't really notice in the bubble bar format. If anything, this gives the bomb a gentle sherbety touch, which only serves to make the smell of this even more beautiful.

In the bath, this limited edition was a fast fizzer: dissolving completely in about a minute, albeit for a small disc of white, which carried on going for another five minutes while I was submerged under the water. Once this had also dispersed, I was left with a tub full of bright pink water, which sparkled a little due to the inclusion of a little silver lustre, in the centre of the bath bomb.

The bath bomb itself offered a colourful pink and white display as it was dissolving, and fragrance that was present both during and after its use was wonderful. Although not as strong as some of the other limited edition bath bombs, The Comforter definitely left an impression in the tub, and I was able to smell it very faintly on my skin afterwards.

Given the price of this, I would highly recommend that you give this one a go at least once before it disappears. It leaves your skin feeling really soft and smooth, although not as moisturised as the likes of The Olive Branch or Meluzine. However, my skin did feel both radiant and beautiful after using this bath bomb, and for old times sake it was pleasant to rekindle some memories whilst washing away my week at work.
