My search for an awesome shower bomb continues
This would make a great hostess gift - because it's the thought that counts, and the thought behind shower bombs is a really nice one.  Sadly, while the scent is as good as any when you stick it right under your nose, I barely notice it once I'm in the shower with it.  If you're envisioning being enveloped with scented steam, nope.  Just steam.  I did try different temperatures, and it doesn't matter. The bomb dissolves in about 6-8 minutes (depending on how much water is hitting it) so it lasts long enough; the scent just doesn't fill the area.<br /><br />The foil out covering is easy to remove, but you do need the little lime green pointy tool to open the inner plastic wrapping.  It's easy enough to use when your hands are wet.<br /><br />This set has a few unique features about it that make it better than some other options, though.  For instance, there's some shredded paper at the bottom which makes it seem a little more gift-like.  And there's a little sticky-backed hook to hang in your shower to hold the organza bag and opener that comes with the set, and you can fit two bombs in the bag as well.  That helps keep your bombs handy.<br /><br />Summary: I tried the lavender first, and then tried the eucalyptus the next day.  Just not enough scent for me.  And while I did put the hook up, and hang the bag, 2 bombs, and the opener, I know I'm going to forget to refill the bag.  I normally keep all my bombs in a container on the shelf that holds my shampoo and that makes more sense to me.  I think hook and the bag are coming down shortly.  Better idea in theory than in practice.  But again, I've been looking for a year for a shower bomb that truly works the way I want it to and haven't fond it yet.  These bombs are in good company!  And they really would make a thoughtful gift even though they don't really do much.
