I am absolutely amazed by this soap. I have had the worst back acne for years and I tried just about anything I could get my hands on. 3 days ago I walked into my local lush and asked a SA what they would suggest for back acne and right away she picked up a slab of Bohemian soap and the Glorious Mud scrub/mask. Last night in my shower I lathered up Bohemian (washed my back first so it would really sink into my skin as I washed the rest of my body), rinsed off, turned off the water, and scrubbed the Glorious Mud all of my body. I wouldn't think these would smell so good together but to my surprise they actually smell very pleasent! I was skeptical of these products working on my severe back acne but the next morning when I woke up I was estatic to find a good 80% of my acne cleared up, and after only one use! I will forever be using this pair to cure my body acne!

I stocked up on LUSH soaps before coming for a long stay in Costa Rica. I bought extra of these because I thought the fresh scent would go nicely with the tropical weather, and it did.... It just didn't occur to me that the soap itself would not agree with this humid weather.

I assume the problem is the high humidity because the heat hasn't even reached the seventies yet (°F), but somehow my 4 Bohemian bars that were stored in a closet have melted down to half their size in less than a month!!! ...and they hadn't been opened yet!! I know the problem is this soap, because my other soaps stored next to these (Porridge, Sultana & Summer Pudding) are just fine.

I love this soap and the scent and everything about it, and I haven't found any problem when using it in North Carolina, but I just had to warn you about this because this is the kind of soap you'd bring on a summer trip.

Comments about LUSH Bohemian:

This was my first LUSH product, so I did a lot of research before getting it in my first bulk of the store! I was looking for a soap to help my back acne, and this seemed to be the most recommended with the research I did.

When I first purchased this, the smell was what really had hit me. It was hard to pint point it in the store with a variety of scents, but when I got home, I could definitely smell it. It smells very fresh and pure, yet has a sweet scent to the common lemon smell. My Dad even was really into it! Not to mention, it looks really cool, too.

I think I was so ecstatic about getting a LUSH product since I've been ogling the store for so long that I was expecting something more. It was hard to apply the soap to my back, and didn't seem to work at the rate I wanted for helping my acne. I began to use a loofah with it and wow, what a difference! My acne is going away quicker than before, and a bit of rubbing on the loofah gets a lot of lather out of it. Also, it's been two months since my purchase and I still have half of the size I got cut for me, which wasn't that huge at all. The only downside is that sometimes, after washing it off in the shower, it feels dry. Besides that, it's a great product!

Comments about LUSH Bohemian:

This was my first LUSH purchase so I was a little nervous to try it. I love it! I don't use it all over my body since it can be a bit drying on arms and legs that already lean on the drier side. I use it on my back, neck, chest, etc. It is great for reducing excess oil and clearing up/preventing body acne. The lemony scent is lovely but doesn't last after you rinse off. If you don't have naturally oily skin I might not recomment it since the drying effect might be too much for you. But if you rarely wear low back tops or dresses because of 'Bacne' as some call it, this is a must have! I will definitely repurchase.

    Comments about LUSH Bohemian:

    I'm usually not a fan of citrus scents so I never really gave much thought to this soap. Recently, however, I was given a sample of it from a friend and I instantly fell in love and bought a chunk of my own. It smells very lemony, but not that fake lemon scent, like pinesol. It smells just like a glass of fresh squeezed lemonade.

    I don't have a problem with it lathering, I rub it on my loofa and a few swipes creates enough lather for my whole body. So I would definitely recommend using it with a loofa or a wash cloth. It does leave my skin feeling "squeaky clean", but I don't find it to be overly drying. It's definitely not a moisturizing soap, but I haven't had any problems with it so far.

    I'll probably buy this soap again, it's not my favorite but I do really love it. It's perfect for using in the morning to wake you up and leaves me feeling clean and refreshed.

    Comments about LUSH Bohemian:

    I bought this the first time I went to Lush last summer because I was immediately driven to the smell. It has a very nice fresh lemon smell that really stood out to me. Unfortunately, that was the only good thing about it.

    The first thing I noticed when I used it in the shower was that it didn't lather very well, and it felt a little sticky under the water. Then after I got out, I noticed how drying and harsh it was on my skin. I have sensitive skin, but I still think this was way too harsh for even normal skin. It stung and felt really dry, and even after using lotion my skin still felt tight.

    This would probably be a good product for someone with much less sensitive skin, but my skin just couldn't handle this one.

    Comments about LUSH Bohemian:

    I bought the Bohemian as a 'toe-in-the-water' introductory product to the LUSH brand for my husband and I. I'm glad to say that it's been a rousing success! My husband LOVES the smell, so it doubles as a room deodorizer when we leave the door shut.
    The only issues I have with this soap is that it doesn't lather well, so it's not good for shaving. However, don't let my opinion of Bohemian detract from it. I just have sensitive skin, so I don't care much for soaps that leave me feeling dry-skinned, which this one did. A good thorough lotioning post-shower usually solves that problem. I have used this soap to shave with, and I wasn't impressed. However, I didn't try showering with a loofah/sponge/wash cloth, just my hands. Having one of those on hand might change your experience.

    If you like a good solid citrus scent, Bohemian is a good place to start. It's hard to go wrong with lemon.

          This bar of soap makes me look forward to showering! The citrus scent really wakes me up and makes me feel squeaky clean. About $10 worth has lasted me over a month and I think it will give me at least another 3 weeks since I use a loofah to lather it up and keep it well out of the range of the shower head. Definitely more sensorily satisfying than using body wash, and certainly kinder to the environment.

          My sister went to LUSH without me one day and brought home a tiny sample of Bohemian Soap. While showing me all the products that she bought, I instantly grabbed the tiny sample of Bohemian. I wanted to try it, to the next time I went to LUSH, I bought this soap. It smells amazing, and I love to use it in the morning to wake me up. I usually hate citrus scents, but I loved this one. It lathers well and gets rid of icky unwanted sweaty smells. However, when before the first time I used this soap I was wondering if it left the kind of "squeaky" feeling that makes you feel too clean. When I used this the first time, I discovered that it did have that too clean feeling. I might repurchase this product but I might not because I really don't like that too clean feeling. However, this is a good soap, and I do recommend this to LUSH lovers and people who love a good smelling soap.

The smell lasts a long time, it lathers super well, it's energizing, and it's a good unisex scent. It would make a good gift, too, if you want to introduce someone else to the magic of lush!

                  this product is just amazing! this was one of my first lush soaps and i buy it over and over again. the lemony scent is refreshing yet not overbearing. it lathers up well, smells uber clean and fresh and i find excuses to shower more than i really need to just to use this. the only cons that i have with it is that the wonderful scent does not last as long as i like it to on my skin after showers and the soap doesn't last very long itself ( or maybe i just use it too much!) if you have not used this thing of lemony beauty yet you need to!!

                  Comments about LUSH Bohemian:

                  Some of my favorite Lush products list lemon juice as one of the main ingr. Bohemian is definitely one of them! It's zesty and energizing, I use this soap when I shower in the morning before work. It wakes me up and puts me in a better mood :) Other than the scent, I like how light it is, there's nothing 'over powering' about it. This bar does dry out my skin if I use it too often, but that's expected with the lemoniness. I'd definitely suggest this to any of you who take morning showers to wake up.

                      A:

                      Bohemian has definitely been around since the early days of LUSH. At least since the '90s!
