TUESDAY MARCH 31, 2009
Bath Bomb

It's always a bit worrying when a purveyor of bath and body products decides that, quite apart from producing your favourite supplies, they're going to start putting them on for you. Kind of like someone from Scholl applying your corn cream. Or a Johnson & Johnson rep personally dealing with your piles. Or the Andrex puppy… well, you get it.

But how could anything distasteful come out of the perfumed goodness that is Lush? The only store on the high street you can smell before you see?

Through the Looking Glass, their first holistic spa, opens tomorrow on King's Road. And their signature launch treatment (with more to follow), is a massage based on synasthaesia - subconsciously stimulating all of your senses to achieve a chosen state of mind. Working with bespoke music and specific essential oils, it's all a bit Alice in Wonderland as you choose from bottles labelled everything from 'Esteem' to 'Humour'.

Whilst it might sound a little like hands-on brainwashing, as long as they're not planning on a bath-bomb submission tactic should we fail to wake up enthused/ delighted/mouthing "LUSH" unconsciously, we'll give it a go. Better than sh*tting on a puppy any day.

Through the Looking Glass
123 King's Road, SW3 4PL. Launches 1st April.
Through the Looking Glass massage, £125.
