    Strangest review ever for a soap: I MISS THIS SOAP! Gosh, Lush has gotten rid of so many sophisticated, ethereal fragrances. Now they have multiples of the same smells....no more bathos bubble...

    Its been forever since I have had a new soap to review. This smells EXACTLY like Bathos BBS to me, but with an underlying plastic smell (in the shower). It is similar in texture etc to Rockstar,...

    I thought this smelled terrible, very sharp, chemical, weird, not true flowery at all. Cleansing/lather-wise, it was like any other LUSH soap I've tried, didn't moisturize, left me clean, but...

    I love everything about this soap and as a matter of fact, this soap is what got me very interested in all things violet. Unfortunately it is now discontinued. The lather is very creamy and highly...

    I've known about Lush for at least three years. When I lived in Berlin, the heavily sweet smell of their shop in the Friedrichstrasse wafted out onto the street - I used to love to pause and...

    I bought this because I wanted something old-fashioned. Yeah, it was old-fashioned, alright. Bathing with this soap conjured up thoughts of Victorian people, and they way they looked in their...

    This smelled really sweet like violet candy when it was dry but I was surprised to smell bug spray mixed in after I was done washing my hands with it. A little while later the bug spray has...

    I got a sample of this. Took a sniff & ewwwww. But I thought, "I'll use it anyway." Glad I did. Once I got out of the shower I smelled of BATHOS Bubble Bar!! Lots of violets :) And it made my skin...

    It looks pretty but is so off-putting smellwise. There is some violet in there, but it's hard to find among the overwhelming smell of that stuff you rub on your chest to get rid of a cold. Blech.

    This is one of the only LUSH soaps that I would describe as "sexy." The romantic smell of violets mixed with a smokey, earthy element creates a wonderful scent that is quite sensual. The soap...

    This soap was so gorgeous! My mom came home with it after a shopping trip, so I was really exited to test a new lush soap! The smell was beautiful- like parma violet sweets, or violet creams. The...

    I was excited to try this soap out but when I did I was a bit disappointed. It smelt good but too artificial in my opinion (herbal? smoke-ish? syntethic?) The violet color of the soap faded quicky...

    This is one of Lush' newest soaps. It smells like violets, but it's still rather different from Lush' Daddyo shampoo. Some say it smells a bit smoky. I like it, but it will never become a staple...

    I bought a small-$4- bar to try this soap out. Despite it's lovely fragrance, nice lather and cute punny name, I'm pissy that it only lasted 3, yes 3!, showers. Way too overpriced.

    Love it, love it, love it! This is a new favorite...sweet and spicy at the same time. Somewhat drying, and it melts away VERY quickly...but the scent is PERFECT! Am I the only one who smells cloves...

    This nice purple soap melted so fast. I won't buy again because the scent is too "herbal" for me. I felt like I smelled like freshly cut grass after washing with it. But this is still a nice soap,...

    I just may have a new favorite soap from Lush. Gratuitous violets is a creamy, lavender colored soap, that makes a great lather. It's great asset, however, is the smell. Quite frankly, with this...
