Goddess Bath Bomb

We all need a little comfort and praise in our lives.  Sometimes the stress from work, study or our families can just be too much.  Lush has heard our needs and released this perfect member of the pantheon of bath bomb divinity, Goddess. It is delightfully scented, intriguingly designed and made of the most indulgent and luxurious ingredients. 

This bath bomb was first revealed to the Lush community through its inventor Jack Constantine's Instagram.   It was inspired by (and originally named after) Ariana Grande's song titled God Is A Woman.  Regrettably, the name was changed after a rumored issue arose once Lush established their intentions to sell the bath bomb. So, as a more acceptable compromise, the name was changed to Goddess.  Which is still reminiscent of the original name. The new name is just enough for all of the Lush fans to still now what it is they are buying.  This is the same unfortunate snafu that arose with Dark Arts jelly bomb before its name was changed to Secret Arts.

Lush's Goddess bath bomb

The bath bomb is colored with purple, grey and white. As well as a veritable ton of glitter. The color of the bath bomb is really a spot on interpretation of the floating scene in the music video for God Is A Woman. As a further nod to the feminine divine, there is gently sloping a cup on the top side of the bath bomb.  The cup, being one of the oldest recognized symbols of femininity, is an excellent addition to the thematic design of this product, though it is a scoop of product that we are deprived of when buying Goddess.  Exactly opposite of the cup is a flat edge that allows the bath bomb to sit without any risk of rolling or falling over.  When considering the appearance of the layers of color, the elegantly slopped cup and the harshly angled backside, the design of this bath bomb is an artistic work of line, color and form. 

The scent of Goddess is mature, enticing and decadent. Composed of jasmine, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood and oudh, the smell of this bath bomb is one of the most enticing and sensual scents Lush has made in years. It presents with an intriguing spice and woody aromas: sandalwood and especially oudh. Those scents are smoothed out by a silken sheet of heady jasmine, rose, and sweet osmanthus that wraps you up like midnight summer's breeze. These floral smells: jasmine, rose, sandalwood and osmanthus are all great but the real powerhouse of Goddess's scent is undoubtedly the oudh oil.  If you are curious about oudh, check out how it is made on the Lush website.  Basically, it is a very controversial and expensive ingredient that Lush has finally been able to incorporate into their products by locating an environmentally friendly company that uses ethical farming practices to obtain their oudh.

Goddess's bath art

When you put this bath bomb into your bath, be prepared for an experience.  Pale grey and purple will streak across your water, leaving swirls of sparkly colors that are spot on with the scenes created in the God Is A Woman music video.  The water will end up a grayish purple and will smell fantastic.  The perfume elements in the bath bomb translate perfectly into the water and really elevate your bath a level of maturity deserving by any Goddess. Plus, the little cup on the top will remain dry in the water for a good 5 minutes.  However, once the water gets inside the cup, the show Goddess puts on levels up into a double-time bath art production. Despite how wonderful the output of foam may be, it disappointingly has a color pallet of mostly grey.  

Lady Bubble and Lord Fizz have seen a lot of new bath bombs in late 2018 and early 2019 but this one is one that stands out with a mature and unique scent and color pallet. Try this bath bomb soon and see what all the Lush fans have been raving about.
