Autumn Leaf was one of the bath bombs that really stood out to me in the new Halloween collection for 2016 as it wasn't typical of Halloween tropes, but more of Autumn itself. Falling leaves, colours of leaves changing from green, to yellow, to orange and red and the scent of what can only be thought of as a walk though a field of freshly mown grass. This bath bomb smells and looks like the story of Autumn's falling leaves.
This product shares its scent with Lush's popular Grass shower gel which I think is perfect for this bath bomb. This bath bomb contains bergamot oil is a citrus oil that is uplifting for the mood, and as Lush states, "encourages a sense of wellbeing." It is cleansing of the skin and also very soothing.
Autumn Leaf also contains neroli oil, one of the most expensive oils that Lush use in their products, it has a very 'green' floral scent and is used to tone the skin and is famously known for being uplifting. As stated on the Lush website, "Neroli is one of the few essential oils to be scientifically proven to increase serotonin production in the brain, which makes us feel contented and cheerful".
As well as this, sandalwood oil is also used as it gives the product a woody and warming scent adding to the natural scent of this bomb. The oil is antiseptic which cleanses the skin leaving it soft and protecting it.
Finally, this product the only product (available at this moment in time) that contains Japanese maple sap, which supposedly has many beauty benefits.
The scent is perfect for all year round. Using it in the winter, the scent can make it reminiscent of warmer months but also remind you of the beauty of the autumn and its falling leaves. And in the summer it is very refreshing on the skin. I think this is a great one for the cooler months however, due to it containing many uplifting oils, which can help with seasonal affective disorder (SADs).

In the water, this is beautiful. It slowly releases shades of green, yellow and reds and as the bath bomb is a slow fizzes, it makes amazing swirls of autumnal colours on top of the water. However, I was slightly disappointed with the murky browny water. Yet saying this, I wasn't too bother due to all of the other brilliant factors of this bath bomb, one of which was the strong scent of the bath bomb throughout the bath. And teamed up with Grass shower gel, the scent stayed with me for many, many hours.
Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone that is a fan of the Grass shower gel, or even just the autumn season. I think this would also make a great gift for perhaps a stocking filler or even just a treat for yourself.
