There’s nothing better than a candlelit bath with a bath bomb or, if you’re feeling extra indulgent, a bubble bar. Now, Lush fans can now enjoy their favourite fragrances in a new way after the bath-bomb brand has turned one of their best-selling scents into a candle.
It comes as the bath and body brand have released a line of three home fragrances perfect for burning while you enjoy a soak. Following the success of their limited edition Snow Fairy candle last year, Lush launched the three scented candles online and in their stores on April 21.
Now, one of the brands most popular fragrances - Sleepy - has been turned into a candle, offering up to 15 hours of soothing lavender scent.

Fans have been calling for Lush to create a Sleepy candle for years, with one writing on Twitter in 2018: “Still wishing Lush would start making candles. I need a Sleepy candle.” To which the high street retailer responded: “A sleepy candle would be amazing! It's not something we currently do, but we have explored it before. You never know what the future may bring!”
Four years on, the future has brought fans a Sleepy candle, poured into a frosted glass jar with a purple label, costing £12 for 75g.
The candle base is made up of rapeseed wax, coconut oil, coconut wax, and castor wax and remains palm, paraffin, soy-free, and 100 per cent vegan.
Sleepy is made with lavender oil and ylang ylang to help relax users, helping them unwind after a long day with a ‘sweet and heady fragrance’.
Lush product inventor, Gary Shears, said: “At Lush, we believe in long candlelit baths so we wanted to create the perfect candle to accompany your bath time. It was an exciting process to modify the Lush fragrance from perfume and bath bombs to candles. This is our first permanent launch of candles with more scents to follow in the future.”

Two other fragrances that have had a candle transformation include Orange Blossom and The Olive Branch, with hopefully more of their popular scents to follow.
Orange Blossom features a blend of orange blossom, neroli and sandalwood, with zesty bergamot works to offer an uplifting calm.
Lush uses regenerative neroli from Lebanon, adding: “It takes at least 1,000 pounds of orange blossom to produce just one pound of Neroli oil. Lush sources the neroli oil in this candle from Lebanon, where it’s the by-product of the orange flower water industry, meaning no additional pressure is placed on the environment for its production.”
Meanwhile The Olive Branch is said to help those who burn it ‘find their peace’, with help of comforting citrusy woody notes of bergamot, orange flower, and oakmoss.
Customers can also take advantage of the new Lush Delivery Pass, which provides a whole year of unlimited Lush deliveries for £15. With UK standard delivery costing £3.95, shoppers only need to make four orders per year for the offer to be good value - even better for serial Lush shoppers.
The pass has been launched in the UK and Germany, allowing customers to have unlimited standard delivery for 12 months to offer convenience as well as help with rising delivery and Royal Mail stamp charges.
The Delivery Pass appears as a product available for purchase on lush.com and will appear as an option when selecting preferred delivery at checkout.
