How to use Inventors stories
Fill your bathtub with warm water, drop in the Bath Bomb and lay back to enjoy its lovely color and gorgeous fragrance. Some LUSH Bath Bombs contain flower petals and others have secret surprises (if you prefer not to have these pieces floating in your tub, wrap the Bath Bomb in a recycled nylon before use). To make your experience even more memorable, combine your fragrant Bath Bomb with a Luxury Bath Melt.

A refreshing floral dip into springtime

When the blossoms burst forth in spring, it’s a tradition to take a picnic and bottle of sake and enjoy the beauty. Noriko, one of our product inventors, hails from Japan and this beautiful Bath Bomb represents what it’s like to be in a park while the breeze blows through the blossoms in the trees. Instead of heading to the park, lay back in serene waters while the gorgeous scents of mimosa and jasmine envelop you to give you the joyful feeling of springtime. Sakura: simple, elegant, and enduringly beautiful bathing.

Features

  • The smell of springtime: Mimosa flowers yield the intense, floral fragrance of mimosa absolute.
  • Salty season:We use sea salt for its soothing effects on the skin, and also to decorate every blooming Sakura.
  • Blossom bathing: If you love the fragrance of Sakura, you’ll adore Rub Rub Rub shower scrub and our Seanick shampoo bar.

"Ah, I love this bomb! Smells wonderful (it has the same scent as Rub Rub Rub shower exfoliator & 17 Cherry Tree Lane soap), and it lasts for a long time in the bath. I can't wait to purchase this again!"

Ok, so when I first heard about Lush, all I heard about were the bath bombs. Eh, I thought, whatever. So I tried a good many Lush products and didn't waste my time with bath bombs. How good could they be? I mean, you drop them in the bath, they fizz, you soak, and that's it. Why waste the money?

Oh, how wrong I was.

I finally bought a Sakura bath bomb for my birthday (as well as a bunch of soaps and other products) and saved the bath bomb. I put it in my top drawer, so the wonderful scent would perfume my underthings. Worked great, but I still kept holding off on using it.

Then I finally took the plunge. And OH MY GOODNESS... the bath water was so soft, and perfectly scented, my skin was soft, I was amazed that something that fizzed away and floated around for only minutes could make for such an amazing bath. I soaked for nearly 20 minutes, enjoying the fragrance and the softness left behind. I need to have more of this, as soon as possible!

This bath bomb has totally won me over. No longer will I think of bath bombs as something that just fizz, look pretty, and are gone before you know
it. Oh no, this bath bomb is amazing and so much better than anything I'd imagined a bath bomb could be.

I'm hoping this was a dud. It smelled nothing like any other cherry blossom scented product I've ever gotten from other places, which I found absolutely heavenly. They say in their description that this is what THEY think it should smell like, so I'm not sure if that means they chose not to use the typical scent or what... Cherry blossom is possibly my favorite scent in the world, but I was very sad about this bomb.

I used it anyway, hoping it would smell all right in the bath. The smell stung my nose. It didn't do anything to my water, and my skin got red and splotchy like with bath products not from Lush (my skin is pretty sensitive). I didn't have any really bad reactions, it just wasn't anything good and I couldn't last longer than about 5min.

Comments about Sakura Bath Bomb:

I mean, I like this bathbomb. It was the first bathbomb I ever bought from Lush, and I really liked how it smelled in the store. There are even poprocks in the center of Sakura. But when you put this in the bath, the water is barely even a milky white and the scent is really weak. Overall, Sakura is an okay bathbomb.

    This smells so good. When I first bought one I couldn't bring myself to use it up. I put it in the bathroom to enjoy the scent, then in my closet as a linen scent. I just went and bought another one, and I intend to dump the whole thing into a big bath and enjoy :)

      Comments about Sakura Bath Bomb:

      I love the smell of flowers so I really really wanted to LOVE this product, while it was nice, it wasn't what I expected. The scent is so lovely and it really does smell like flowers but it was barely there and didn't linger long after the bomb had dissolved. I also didn't find that it softened my skin as much as the other bath bombs I've used. While I love the scent I feel like I would need two just and use a butterball bomb to get the results I want and that's just too much money to spend on one bath for me. It may be great though for someone who is sensitive to smells.

      I ordered this thinking it would smell like Cherry Blossoms and also because I loved the way it looked. Sadly, it was a disappointment to me. The scent was too strong for me and I didn't smell any cherry blossom.. It didn't add any color to the water at all.

      Comments about Sakura Bath Bomb:

      I didn't find this product to be anything special. I've used many different bath bombs by LUSH and I was really excited to try something new. This smells absolutely wonderful before it is dropped in the bath. I found that the scent didn't linger and didn't do much for my skin. I enjoy bombs that not only smell amazing in the bath but also have pretty colors or leave my skin feeling amazing, which this bomb didn't. It may have been that I didn't use it soon enough after purchase but regardless, this bomb shouldn't be bad after a week of sitting around.

        Love Sakura! Was recommended to me after I mentioned my addiction to Rub, Rub, Rub and it does smell very similar. Not as flashy as other bath bombs, but certainly smells amazing and makes your skin feel silky smooth. This product only increased my Lush obsession.

            Comments about Sakura Bath Bomb:

            I've only ever used Sakura as a bath bomb (just plopped it into a nice warm bath), and wasn't too pleased- it dissolved too quickly with little left to show for it, just a little bit of frothy white residue skimming the surface of the water, and the smell didn't linger either. I don't take baths often, so I prefer a product with a more lasting effect. But, after reading other reviews I'm considering just getting some to keep around for its wonderful scent. I have to say I'm a total scent junkie. Every day I use a few products each with lovely and distinct scents to the extent that I don't even smell my own perfume on me even if someone else points it out. That said, Sakura had me taking many whiffs before I got around to using it. So, as a bath bomb it doesn't impress, but the smell is fantastic and warrants use of this product.

              I can't believe this only has 4 stars. This and twilight are my favorite scents at lush. I do not typically like floral scents which is how this is described. I really wouldn't describe Sakura as floral but I also don't know how to describe the scent. It's a more subdued scent compared to most of their other scents. The scent is also in seanik, rub, rub, rub and 17 cherry tree lane. I wish this came in perfume because I'd never leave home without it. AMAZING!

              I really liked Sakura. It's great for those of us who get antsy sitting in the bath for too long. I really liked the scent. It was subtle, but it did smell like cherry blossoms. I like to use a Sakura in a short little bath before reluctantly sitting down to cram for a math test.

                  Comments about Sakura Bath Bomb:

                  I was looking for something nice and simple to take a bath in one day, and I wanted to try something new. I've been under cherry blossom trees, and vaguely remembered using a cherry blossom soap once upon a time, and Sakura smelled lovely enough, so I picked it up.

                  It fizzed wonderfully in the bath, the smell filled the apartment, and I was relaxed and happy as I soaked in the tub. It didn't leave behind any film or grit, and all was well.

                  Honestly, I don't have complaints about Sakura as I just don't have raves for it. The cherry blossom smell is truly lovely, but it just doesn't smell right on my skin. On some people, I'm sure it will smell exotic and feminine, but on me (I'm an Alkmaar/Twilight/Flying Fox type) it just smelled powdery and matronly. Of course, the smell lingered on me, on my sheets, and all through the apartment for the rest of the day, so if you get on well with this scent, you are in luck! I also felt a bit dried out afterwards, so I would not recommend Sakura to anyone with dry skin unless also used with a bath melt or a lotion.

                  Again, I do think Sakura is a fine product, it's just not for me.

                        Sakura was my first Lush bomb, when i was looking at my choices i thought i like sakura trees i wanna try it.. now i dunno what i was expecting but i was kind of disappointed because there wasnt much to it, but the smell was really nice even tho it didn't last it still was nice while it lasted, now... one of my favorite things to do is when i come back from my lush store is to break up my purchase's into little snack size zip locks and seeing what i REALLY bought *hopefully some of you lushie's can relate* being the lush-a-manic that likes to get the most out of her bath luxury's. I should of done that with this because even tho it wasn't flashy it made the water super silky!

                        Comments about Sakura Bath Bomb:

                        Sakura is the first LUSH product I ever tried, way back in 2006. To my disappointment, the scent didn't linger on my skin very much.

                        Now it's 2012 and I can't find any bath bombs I love more than Sakura. The scent is just intoxicating. I love, love LOVE that scent. I buy 2-3 extra Sakuras and put them in my underwear and sock drawer. They make my clothing smell extra delicious.

                        No, the scent still doesn't linger on skin very long. It does linger in my bathroom though which is great because I'm the only woman in my house. My son (age 4) came in to my bath tonight and said "Oh Mommy, that smells DELICIOUS." He made me promise I would let him have a LUSH bath tomorrow.

                        It's boring as bombs go. There are no surprises, no glittery, no colors. It just smells really good. If I want something pretty to look at, I will opt for a Sex Bomb over Sakura. But Sakura's clean, crisp scent draws me back over and over again. I love that smell so much.

                        Comments about Sakura Bath Bomb:

                        After a long hiatus from my indulgent Lush baths, I decided to try Sakura. I've always enjoyed this bath bomb's soft scent and colors while shopping in-store, so I decided to give it a try at home. After dropping it in the bath, I was pleased with the soft scent that filled the room as I waited for tht multi-sensory expereince I have grown to expect from Lush products to develop. All I remember thinking was "That's it?" The water did not change color at all. I expected the blue and pick flecks in the bath bomb to give me a bit of a show, or maybe the water might turn a soft pink color, but no. Nothing. Just a soft scent that dissipated quickly, a fast fizz, and that's it. I was left wanting more and ended up cutting my bath very short.
