![]() Overall, Cinders was slightly disappointing, but had many redeeming qualities. The scent left behind on the skin is much less sweet, however, but retains the delicious floral aspect and cinnamon spice. Additionally, I was worried that the scent would disappear after the bath was over, but I found my skin held onto the Cinders fragrance very well and for quite some time. Cinders is neither a super drying bomb nor a super moisturizing bomb, so I find that one could be quite content using it regularly as it is a mild ballistic. I had low expectations for such a small bath bomb that when I exited the bath to find my skin so clean and smooth, I was quite shocked. ![]() I was pleasantly surprised to find how soft my skin truly was after bathing. It adds a nice element of sweet spice to the bath, but I am afraid it's too weak of a product on its own in regards to color and appearance. ![]() This seems to be a bomb that needs to be cock-tailed with another as its beautiful fragrance could pair nicely with a myriad of bubble bars like Christmas Kisses, Gingerbread House, Magic of Christmas, Santasaurus, or even Sunnyside. Additionally, it created no foam nor any sort of fun color to look at. This bomb turned the water a urine-yellow color which I find less-than-desirable for bathing. For a small bath bomb, I was surprised how potent the scent was! The fragrance was immediately detectable upon placing the bomb in the water, but certainly dissipated as time went on. The fruitiness lingered, but the spice became the star. Rather than smelling like a spiced punch, the water took on a more masculine cologne-type profile. In the water, the fragrance blossomed into an even spicier scent. Unfortunately, I may have received a dud for the bomb sank immediately to the bottom and the popping candy made virtually no sound. I knew this was a fast-fizzer, so the short show was to be expected. Basically, it is a sweet, fruity, and sort of spicy scent that is great for the colder months.Ĭinders is packed full of popping candy, the sound of which gives this bath ballistic its firey name. When I smelled it this morning, I actually thought I picked up a hint of coconut which is odd considering there is no coconut in the bomb at all. It also contains almond oil and gardenia extract which round out the fruit and spice and add a light and sweet, and slightly nutty and creamy aspect to the bomb. It also smells very fruity from the orange oil, which makes sense considering Lush advertises this bomb as a spicy fruit punch. Spice is the most prominent quality in cinders, as the inclusion of cinnamon oil gives it a slightly warming quality. Every time I hold it up to my nose it appears to take on a new flavor. For some reason, the scent of this bomb is nearly impossible for me to place.
