Happiness for me comes in the smallest of forms. I found myself quite excited to see a recent post on social media pop up from a company called Treacle Moon. I’ve tried products from them in the past such as their bath and shower creams/gels. But my favourite bath treat from them is their bath salts. Last year I bought and received some limited edition bath salts and they’ve just released their new fragrances for Winter 2020 exclusively available from Aldi. So guess where I visited? And what do you think I bought? All FOUR of the new salts with the first one I tried being called Christmas Dreams.
Christmas Dreams. Pomegranate, vanilla and fig scented.
Packaging. It comes in a sachet which you need to tear to open. Super cute and festive in design on the front ( mainly white in colour ) of quite brightly coloured reindeers in a snowy looking white forest.
Scent. Once I opened the sachet I could smell this straight away. So much so it shoved me sideways! I haven’t smelt or used a Jo Malone fragrance with the pomegranate element to it. But I know its very popular. Many people I know have bought it and loved it. Where I work we sell something that apparently smells like this and this I have smelt. It’s never been my favourite scent to be honest as it can be quite overpowering, but these salts scent wise remind me of this.
And this is where this shoved me sideways! Yes its quite strong. It has a musky, woody, masculine element to it yet has an underlying fruitiness to it. I find that this in these bath salts is a more balanced combination for me strength wise. And the slight sweetness from the pomegranate and vanilla lifts it for me and I’m shocked to say I like it! So although I can’t confirm this is similar to the well known fragrance, if you do like THAT one I can’t see you not loving how these salts smell!
Texture. Don’t think of your typical Epsom, Dead Sea type salts. They tend to be clear, almost crystal like. This is a fine, almost powder like in texture. Definitely has a mineral look to it, with it being coloured in a cool, earthy hue of blue almost grey.
How to use. Into a warm bath, pour the whole contents of the sachet into it.
In the bath. I poured this into the warm running water. As it went in it remained the same colour as it was when I opened the packet. But when it hit the water it immediately turned into an aubergine purple. Unexpected and very eye catching. With the colour came foam. And when I say foam I mean lots of foam! It’s important to add I didn’t use the whole packet it was more like half. My bath tub was full of bubbles which was a glorious sight.
The scent was very much there too which made my bath time enjoyable. I didn’t find it heady even though it still had a great strength to it. But it just added to the sensory experience which is what I always hope for when I have a soak. On the skin it caused no problems in or out of the bath. No irritation and my skin didn’t dry out. Result!
Recommended? 100% yes! You really don’t need a full sachet of the bath salts, half will do. The scent is strong but not overpowering, and long lasting. The amount of foam is INSANE and the salts are gentle on the skin. Did I mention its only 79p? There is NOTHING I don’t love about this product. Perfect stocking filler or just great and affordable for everyday use without breaking the bank!
