Lily Savon Soap by Lush: Review

I have been a Lush junkie for quite some time now. For the most part whenever I have ordered something from Lush in the past, I had been mostly thrilled with what I received. Unfortunately for me, and a gob of other Lush lovers, there is no Lush store close by. So everything I order, is based on product descriptions, and reviews from other consumers. It sucks not being able to sniff the things I order, before I get them. Lily Savon is a new soap that Lush recently added to their line, so I had my eye on it for quite some time, yet didn't want to place an order till I had spare cash to purchase more than just one bar of soap.

The Promise:
 
According to the Lush.com website, Lily Savon smells like an intoxicating lily, and that it is a star amongst other soaps. Besides lily being in the soap they have also added sensual jasmine, ylang ylang, and neroli.

Lily Savon Online:
 
On the Lush website Lily Savon looks like an ordinary creamy yellow colored bar of soap. Unlike other Lush soaps, Lily Savon does not contain any surprises, like fruit, nuts, or sand. Lily Savon is just a creamy bar of soap. I liked this, but at the same time was slightly disappointed because I sort of enjoy when Lush sends me a soap that contains fruits and nuts, or other weird surprises.

Lily Savon In Real Life:
 
Lily Savon Soap came to my door packaged in a deli like wrap. Inside of the wrap a plain Jane yellow flock of soap sat. It looked similar to the soap on the website, but it didn't look as luxurious in real life, as they had made it look online.

The soap looked like crappy hotel soap, with a shine to it that no other Lush soap I had ever gotten had. It sort of looked cheap. I felt duped, ripped off, and not to mention I got a lousy cut.

You see Lush soaps are cut off of one large mother ship. (Block of soap). Then you are charged by the weight. Now I have gotten some damn good cuts before, but this Lily Savon was an end chunk. I felt like I was given the crust from the bread.

Scent:
 
Lousy cut, lousy appearance, and a mediocre scent. Ugh!

I raised Lily Savon to my nose holes, took in a deep sniff, and... I smelled that official cheap smell scent. I was not happy.

I was able to smell lilies, but at the same time it had a very cheap soap scent to it that most hotel bars smell like.

My Use:
 
I cut a slice of Lily Savon off to use in my shower. Although I wasn't thrilled with the soap, there was no way I was about to waste it. I just spent $6.95 on it, and shipping. I was using it!

In the shower Lily Savon gave off a creamy lather, with small yellow suds. I wouldn't actually call it suds though- it was more like rubbing a lotion bar on my skin, because Lily Savon didn't sud up or make any bubbles at all. Many Lush soaps don't, and I'm okay with that. For those looking for high lather, and tons of suds though, prepare to be disappointed.

The scent didn't change in the shower either. Some soaps I have used by Lush in the past create a very powerful kick when used in the water. Lily Savon though remained the dud she was when she arrived to my door.

My skin didn't feel any different after using Lily Savon. To put it short, Lily Savon was a disappointment.

I was expecting to smell fields of lily flowers in my bathroom, and all I got was some scent, that did not last and some light yellow colored lather that did not feel like it cleaned my skin.

After I dried up, there was no lily scent left behind. I did however detect a light floor cleaner citrus scent. I liked it, but it didn't last long after.

Overall:
 
Lily Savon fails to impress. Lack-o-scent-lack-o-last-lack-o-cleanse.
