There’s a particular hush to early autumn. Light thins. Evenings arrive on soft soles. It’s the season for small ceremonies the bath run early, a candle coaxed to life, steam ribboning the room. Lush’s Halloween capsule understands this instinct. Less costume, more ritual; a study in warmth and mischief.
Begin with a flame. Pumpkin Spice Candle sets the register: nutmeg, clove, ginger—an ember-bright trio that warms from the corners out. The burn is clean and steady, poured from fully vegan vegetable waxes (paraffin-free, GMO-free, soy-free), giving a low, companionable light that flatters steam and stone. The room settles; the evening decides itself.

For velvet water, choose a charm. Punkin Pumpkin Bath Bomb is a small act of theatre, fizzing with cinnamon leaf and sweet wild orange, softened by organic pumpkin powder. It smells like laughter carried indoors. Bright at first, then cosier, as if the bath itself remembered summer and chose, kindly, to let it go. Shadows step back; the surface blooms.

Scent the night, lightly. Pumpkin Spice Body Spray wears like knitwear you’ve warmed on the radiator. Carrot seed gives a sweet, earthy hum; carob resinoid adds plushness; ginger runs through with peppered lift. Mist scarf, cuffs, the inside of a coat—places where fabric holds secrets—then let the day’s chill yield. It blooms cosy, dries to a gentle spice, and lingers just long enough.

When the week asks for cocooning, reach for The Alchemist Bath Bomb. Fine sea salt smooths the edges; benzoin and styrax resinoids lay down a gourmand warmth vanilla , ambered, quietly cinnamon-adjacent. The water goes velvet-dark; the room hushes as if listening. You get out softer than you went in, which is all anyone can ask of an evening.

For a tender landing, crumble generosity under the tap. Pumpkin Crumble Bubbleroon hides real pumpkin purée in its soft centre and melts into plush foam with organic, Fair Trade cocoa butter—fully traceable, smallholder supporting so skin feels held. A lift of fruity oils keeps the mood bright; a lantern against early dusk. It’s festive without noise, kind on cold-weather skin, and quietly habit-forming.
£9 / €9.50 — available in Lush stores and online
What Lush achieves this season is equilibrium: spice without cliché, play without clutter, comfort with intent. Each piece feels considered textures that flatter ritual, scents that warm rather than shout, details that respect the small luxuries of an ordinary night. Run the water. Strike the match. Let the windows fog and the world recede to the other side of the door.
