this bath bomb is supposed to warm the body, relieve aches, loosen muscles and relieve stiff joints with powdered cinnamon, powdered ginger, ginger oil, ylang ylang, and juniper oil. it also has coriander oil and gardenia extract.
im not a fan of coriander at all, so thankfully i smell none, but i dont necessarily smell any of the other ingredients in particular. the smell of this bath bomb is very light, and it sort of maybe smelled like cinnamon. it fizzed more than any other bath bomb ive tried recently, so i doubt the smell was light because it was past its prime.
it colored the water a fun reddish orange, but it left an astounding ring around the tub the likes of which i havent seen since reading the cat in the hat as a child. its absolutely full of pieces of cinnamon stick, so i suggest putting it in an old pantyhose leg before adding it to the bath.
to sum up, this bath bomb curiously doesnt smell of coffee (or much else), it doesnt have the claimed therapeutic properties, it stains the tub, and has pain in the ass imbedded chunks to deal with. not a winner.
