Taking a fragrant, warm bath is so instantly relaxing. Putting on some great music. Maybe lighting a candle. And adding a beautiful, fragrant bath bomb is the frosting on the cake. I love to slip into the pretty colored fizzy water.
So when I think about Mother’s Day, bath and body products are often at the top of my list.
Aprilis Bath Bombs
I was happy to be introduced to Aprilis Bath Bombs. Instead of glittery, girly bath bombs, Aprilis Bath Bombs are feminine and sophisticated. They make a stunning presentation.
They are exquisitely packaged in a lovely, well-made, tastefully decorated aqua box. The minute you remove the top of the box, you can smell the heavenly fragrances. Inside, there are six generously sized bath bombs.
Each one is beautifully wrapped in paper and nestled in paper straw. After removing the paper wrapper, each bath bomb is wrapped tightly in lightweight plastic to protect it from damage.
The scent is identified with a pretty label on the paper wrapper so you can select the bath bomb that suits your mood.
The six scents are:
- rose
- lavender
- pot marigold
- green tea
- milk
- osmanthus.
Aprilis Bath Bombs are handmade. They are natural, organic and made from premium ingredients. In fact, they have natural oils and citric acid bubbles to relax your muscles, soothe your skin, increase circulation, and excite your senses. Some have dried flower petals, and all are scented with essential oils. They provide a spa-quality experience in your own bathroom!
What’s It Like To Use Aprilis Bath Bombs?
Here’s a little video I made of my first experience with Aprilis Bath Bombs. The fizzy scene is probably a little too long, but I don’t know how to edit yet!
Of course, I went with rose first. Because the bath bomb is so big (3.88 oz.), it fizzes for a looooong time in the video. The next time, I will get into the tub while it’s fizzing and that will be more fun than watching and videoing it! The rose bath bomb has a wonderful floral scent. Plus it has little, dried rose petals that are released into the tub (and they were easy to wash down the drain afterwards). What delighted me most in addition to the deep pink rose color was the oil that was imparted onto my skin. Not at all greasy, but the right amount that made me feel that I didn’t need to apply more oil or body butter afterwards. A totally wonderful experience.
Tonight, I’m going to use the green tea bomb.

Are you a fan of bath bombs? Do you know someone who would love these fragrant, relaxing bath bombs?
I am not a fan of bath bombs or to be more specific, Lush bath bombs because most contain so much glitter and I hate having to clean the shitz after a relaxing bath. These sounds amazing though!

I feel the same way about LUSH bath bombs, Shireen. I don’t want glitter all over my skin or my bath tub. The Aprilis Bath Bombs are for grownups: the scent is lovely but not overpowering and the little rose petals washed down the drain with one swish. Plus I was thrilled that the bath oil in the bomb was enough to help my dry skin but did not leave a slippery coating on my tub. I’m sold on these.
These look absolutely luscious! They would definitely be perfect Mother’s Day gifts!

I definitely think they are a great Mother’s Day or hostess gift. The bath bombs smell great, the colors are lovely, the ingredients are top notch, and cleanup is a breeze!
Great review! I’m not into bath bombs, but after reading your review I have to try these!
I would use these in my shower. Would make your room smell so so nice. Like “aroma” therapy. Waving Hi to everyone. 🙋🏻☕️☕️🍩🍩
You’re right, DiEtta! I keep the box of the ones I haven’t used up yet open in my bedroom because they smell so fantastic! Please enter the Facebook giveaway! With 30 winners, you never know xoxo
Allison, I don’t have a Facebook account. 😩❤️
So that’s why I couldn’t find you on Facebook, DiEtta!
Yep….No Facebook and No Instagram either. 😱
SM is not for everyone 😉
These are absolutely beautiful! I love the packaging.

The packaging is exquisite, and the bath bombs themselves are equally wonderful
I’ve been wanting to try bath bombs and the rose sounds so nice! My only worry was how hard it would be to clean up the tub after using one but it seems like it’s not going to be too bad.
It’s not hard it all. I ran the water, swished my hand a couple of times and all gone.
These look lovely. I really wish I took bathes more often. I used to do it in my 20s all the time. If I did I would tell my husband this would be a great gift idea for Mother’s Day!

It definitely is a great gift or self-treat for those who take baths. Or a great incentive to start taking baths if your husband will occupy your little girl while you do so 😉
I love baths and enjoy an occasional bath bomb, with two kids I should do this more often. Thanks for the intro to this brand.

I know it’s tough for moms to find the time for a bath, but it sure is worth it if you can. These are sooooo relaxing!
Oooh I can imagine how lovely these must smell! Of late, I’ve been preferring bath soaks (I discovered these soaks for taut muscles) or old-fashioned bath salts, but I do reach for bath bombs for some fun.

I’m a fan of the fizz so these loooooong fizzing bombs that make my skin feel so good are terrific. I do get some relief from sore muscles too from the citric acid that makes the fizz. They’re a good all-around adult-style soak!
That’s a sophisticated package so I think Mother’s Day would be perfect to use this for a gift. I’m always amazed when people like glitter in theirs.

Yes, when I first tried one of the glitter bombs from another brand, I thought it would be cool. But then I realized I had to shower afterwards to remove the glitter from my skin and from the tub. I’ll take flower petals that don’t stick to me anyway!
I LOVE bath bombs and baths in general. I need to drop a hint to my kids about these. LOL! I agree that these make the perfect gift.
The Aprilis Bath Bombs are sooooooo good, Stacie! Definitely a great gift!
It sounds like a great gift for mom’s! Mine doesn’t have a bathtub but if she did I’d gift her these

That’s so interesting, Kimmi. No tub! But I guess that is more common these days where most of us shower most often 🙂
These are fabulous, I’m going through them quickly!

I love using bath bombs; I never was one for baths but now working a full time job I’ve come to appreciate a nice bath

Does a nice warm fizzy fragrant bath make such a difference at the end of a long day? These bath bombs from Aprilis are so fabulous!
Bath bombs are great for relaxation! I never seem to have the time to enjoy them these days though 🙁

I hear ya, Anastasia. I’m trying to make time for a bath every now and then. It burns more calories and it helps calm me down
The packaging is so cute on these.
Erika recently posted…Hi Mirror Plus — A Tech and Skin Care Fanatic’s Dream
It’s beautiful packaging. I think it would make a great hostess gift for a bath lover as well as a Mother’s Day gift
they sound and look pretty cool. I think I might even be tempted to put parts of two different bombs in the tub and concoct my own special blend.

That’s a creative idea, Shelley! I just wonder if I could cut through one of these big beauties without it falling apart 😉
I love the way these are packaged (like giant fancy chocolates!) The milk and green tea ones sound like they’d be my type of scents.
Bailey recently posted…Lovely Lashes and Bomb Brows with RapidLash & RapidBrow
Yes, you’re right, Bailey! They do look reminiscent of a box of fancy chocolates! I haven’t used the milk one yet but the green tea is wonderful.
I just like the selection of the scents mentioned and counting down the months that I can finally used perfumed bubble bathing (medical reasons)!!

These definitely have a scent, but they are natural scents from essential oils. Why not enter the giveaway on Facebook and if you win, you can save them or give some to your mom?
Ohhh, these look heavenly! I also dislike glittery bath bombs, what a mess! I’ve been eyeing a few homemade ones on etsy. My daughter loves bath bombs, so I need to find a more wallet friendly alternative than Lush lol
Julie recently posted…Fake Your Brows with Full Brow Brow Products
Why not enter the Facebook giveaway, Julie! With 30 winners, you may win. Since these are natural and have organic ingredients, they are better for children’s skin.
I simply love bath bombs! So relaxing and the scents are divine.
Rose, these are really nice bath bombs! I love ’em. Please consider entering the giveaway on Facebook. I think I have a link to it in my post. With 30 winners, you never know! Plus you get a $5 coupon. I want to get a couple of boxes to keep on hand as hostess gifts. They look so beautiful in the box. 🙂
Allison, I’ve already checked them out via your link and plan on ordering some. Not only do I love them but my granddaughter and daughter in law do too!
If you do order them, hope you’ll use the coupon! And I hope all of you enjoy them! I’m wondering if it would be cheesy of me to use the coupon since they sent me a free box, but I want to order a couple of boxes to keep on hand as a hostess gift. 😀
I don’t think that would be cheesy at all! I’m sure they will appreciate your business! I know I would!
Glad you think so too, Rose!
These would be great for any gift-giving occasion!
Yes!
I love bath bombs, but our tub is super small, so I don’t generally take baths. I do still buy them though because if I use a new sock and pop one into it and put it under the passenger seat of my car – the aroma is heaven
What a great idea, Lisa!
I could totally use a nice long bath right now.
I hear ya!
