Let me first just say that this isn’t a sponsored post or an advert, although full disclosure I did once do an event for the Lush Book Club, and the entire time I was there I kept on saying ‘this is great, because I really do love Lush’, and they kept on responding with ‘lovely, thanks’.
Your descriptions make me want to rethink the ‘no baked goods scents’ stance I’ve held since an unfortunate experience where the guy sitting behind me during a school assembly was trying to figure out why he kept catching whiffs of his mother’s homemade birthday cake, and repeatedly asked his seatmates ‘do you smell cake? I smell cake. Why does it smell like cake?” I realized it was me and my vanilla Body Shop lotion. This was in 1987. Maybe it’s time to give bakery scents another chance.
This always comes across really astringent to me when I’m smelling it in the shop but maybe it settles on your skin differently??? I think a lot of their scents have like a 15-20 min settling period. (If that’s even a thing??)
This is extremely Millenial coded & I definitely relate. A Lush bath bomb circa 2016 was the height of indulgent self-care, I need to pop in and reacquaint myself.
i’ve converted so many people to sticky date anything. why wouldn’t you want to smell like the most sumptuous and slightly dangerously sweet little treat!!

This was clearly a traumatic experience and I don’t blame you for staying away from The Bakery, I would do the same
I feel like I need to read a novel about the baker now!
I love your writing. That is all.
Here to rave about the Lord of Misrule perfume. Vanilla, black pepper and patchouli. Bakery plus sexy. It’s my favourite scent

The Rose Jam shower gel is incredible!
That *plus* the Ro's Argan body conditioner is crack! So good I wore it for my wedding
Love this piece, and feel a shopping trip coming on, thanks for all the recommendations! 👏
For me it’s their Bubble Bars which are an absolute necessity, to convert my baths into a Disneyesque experience, simply dreamy! 🥰

Nothing compares to the Buffy Bar. It exfoliates AND moisturises at the same time. Efficient AND luxurious. Genius.
The lush wax melts mark the candle seasons of my life
I literally just bought sticky date lotion last week and have been slathering myself in it - so good. Please share more!!
Thank you, I love this! More recs please, if and when you have the time. ☺️
Absolutely! I love lush too! More please
Love this, more please! Day off tomorrow, I can’t see how I can not go to Lush and buy a few things
