Lush lemming, day 2: the 29 High St shower jelly. Now, don't cringe, but it's supposed to smell like walking in a Lush store — hopefully, without the overload. "A clash of citrus, floral, and sweet scents collide in this refreshing treat to cleanse your skin and inspire your senses. The fragrance inside this jelly, named after the first ever Lush, was created in the labs that are still used today above the shop in Poole, Dorset. This perfume was created to bring to mind that unmistakable Lush scent that greets you when you step inside. Lemon and lime blend with ylang ylang and jasmine along with warming tonka absolute and sandalwood oil." 240g for £12 at Lush UK.
