Lush Flying Fox Shower Gel Review – A Luxury Treat or Disappointing Fail?

I recently treated myself to a few new Lush shower gels, excited to try the Flying Fox scent. Described as a blend of Jasmine, Rose, and Ylang Ylang, it sounded like the perfect indulgence.

Buying Lush Online – A Necessity in the Australian Outback

As my blog name suggests, I live in the harsh Australian desert, with limited access to stores. Shopping in person wasn’t an option, so I ordered Flying Fox from the Lush online store.

When it arrived, I was thrilled! The packaging was stunning—a Lunar New Year limited edition box. I eagerly unwrapped it, inhaled deeply, and waited to be wrapped in the luxurious floral scent of Jasmine and Rose.

The Scent – A Shocking Disappointment

Instead of a heavenly floral aroma, I was hit with an overpowering, putrid smell so awful that I thought the product had expired. But after checking the label, I realized—this is just how it smells!

For a brand known for high-end, pampering bath and body products, this was beyond disappointing. Lush is not a budget store—it’s a place you shop at when you’re ready to splurge on something special.

Final Verdict – Straight to the Bin

Sadly, this Lush shower gel was so unpleasant that I couldn’t use it. Despite my love for the brand, Flying Fox ended up in the bin.
