Hi there APJ Bathers,
Yes, you’re reading it right. That ultra cool, Limited Edition, shower gel that you just missed out on because they usually sell out in SECONDS is back. Be quick.
Rose Jam Shower Gel by LUSH
LUSH says: Inspired by our love for roses and the benefits of nourishing Argan Oil, this shower gel is as decadent as it gets! Skin brightening Goji Berry Juice and Sicilian Lemon give your skin a boost, while Rose Oil and Rose Absolute leave it soothed, softened and beautifully fragranced. A luxuroius way to start each day.
Sure, the blurb is nice but I wait till the afternoon to bathe because I get ready for work, which usually happens at night. One of the ways I really love to pamper myself is by drawing a bath. Now what better way to laze away the better part of an hour than laying in the warmth (or cool in summer) of a glamorously scented bubble bath? NONE! I tell you truly that it is the most relaxing, turn off the world, indulgent me time that I have.

Rose Jam Shower Gel makes a wonderful bubble bath. It foams well, smells great and leaves me with a soft skin tinged with the fragrance of a sweet garden rose in full bloom that then creates the perfect base for some of my favourite rose scents. Mohur by Neela Vermeire Creations, Rosa sur Reuse by SOIVOHLE, Ballets Rouges by Olympic Orchids, Diabolo Rose by Parfums de Rosine, Midnight Oud by JHaG and Agent Provocateur to name just a few of my faves, there are oodles more.
I bought my Rose Jam bottle in the sale at the end of the last time it was in. The last bottle too because I thought I should get an extra and by the time I went back in the next day to get another they were sold out. Anyway, I bought it and tried it and thought it was awful. So it sat here for ages unloved. Not so long ago as I was organising the frag room I stumbled across it again and have been using it a couple of times a week since. The sweet jammy rose is so much like putting your nose right up to a garden rose that is in full bloom, so simple but also so incredibly nuanced.
LUSH Australia has $18.50/250g
Do yourself a favour. Go grab it.

This is amazing with their Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner then adding some Imogen Rose perfume on top. That’s what I wore for my birthday!

Hi Portia,
After reading this post I just knew that I would love to dip into a tub full of roses – so I found one of these! I’m hoping for your second impression (not the first)!

This post got my hopes up, but I didn’t see Rose Jam listed on the US site. I will keep my eye out, though! 🙂

I grabbed a bottle while I could, but it may just have been an Australian very limited release for that rather silly ‘Christmas in July’ thing we seem to go in for. Whatever – I’m happy if it means I get some more RJ. I now have enough to see me through until real Christmas. Love the stuff!

PHEW! I bought a back up too.

I never managed to get the bubble bath. It disappears within minutes of hitting the store rooms in the UK. I suspect a network of internet LUSH groupies with access to inside information, who rally within seconds of their favourites arriving in stock … but I did snag a bottle of the EDP once. It is a thick, lushious, and syrupy gourmand rose, like a big sticky, jammy Turkish delight, and is completely distracting on a down day.

Hey Sherry Parker,
Yes, You are probably right. Best to join the LUSH mail club wherever you are. They usually give some notice of Rose Jam arriving.
Good luck this year.
