Lush describe Hot Toddy as 'a winter-warmer with clove, paprika and cinnamon, but also containing generous helpings of fruity orange, lime and lemon peel.' To me this sounds like the perfect selection of scents to accompany oneself during those harsh winter nights, when you just want to curl up and sleep away the rain and snow.
When I first received a selection of these bars with my Lush order, I didn't even have to lift the lid before I could smell the delicious cloves. This is bar that you could leave in the bathroom and know that, within a few hours, the scent will have de-fragranced the entire room.
The cloves, paprika and cinnamon, along with orange, lemon and lime peel, give the bar a delicious orangey and cake-like scent that reminded me somewhat of Christmas cake batter. The muscovado sugar added to the sweetness of the product and dampened the bitterness you might expect from the addition of all those citrus ingredients.
As you can see from my video, I chose to use the whole bar, which I simply dropped in under the running tap and left it to work it's magic. However, this bar could easily be halved and used on two separate occasions, both producing a surplus of bubbles fit for royalty.
The bubble bar turns the water a lovely shade of orange and creates a delicious warming orange scent that lingers for the entire bathing experience. Much like the traditional Scottish Hot Toddy beverage, which is made up of whiskey, lemon juice, honey and hot water, and drunk to warm you up in cold, Hot Toddy Bubble Bar does wonders at revitalising your skin and bringing life back into those cold limbs.
After my bath, my skin felt lovely and soft and I found that the scent lingered on my skin for a number of hours after use. However, it wasn't anywhere near as moisturising as most other bubble bars I have tried, which meant I had to use body lotion afterwards. I loved using this bubble bar, which I think would work wonders when used alongside Cinders or Lil Lush Pud. It's one I'd definitely pick up again; ideal for use during those cold winter evenings!
