From the outside, it portrays an electric green colour and inside the bottle, the liquid tells the same story. What attracted me to this shower gel is the description on the bottle: "Danger! Danger! High Voltage!" It is reminscent of the hilarious song by Electric Six called 'Danger! High Voltage!' This song is a very fond childhood memory of mine, my parents and I used to sing this song all the time, laughing at the video and how the song is sang.
So as soon as I saw the description, I knew I had to get this shower gel and see what it was like, so when I grabbed a bottle in the Lush Kitchen, I was eager to try it out.
B-Electro has a very full smell; full in the sense that there is a lot going on. Lush mentions that it has a zesty, floral smell and reading this description, I was confused. How can a shower gel have both of those smells at once? Wouldn't that be disgusting?
Squirting it onto my shower scrunchie, I noticed the floral smell straight away and it shared similarities with Ghost shower gel. The rose petals, rose absolute and jasmine definitely make their appearance in B-Electro. Underneath the floral aroma, I could smell a woody element which comes from the tincture of benzoin. But all in all, I was quite disappointed with the smell because I couldn't smell any citrus in the product like Lush said, it was a woody, floral smell instead. Still nice, but not what I was expecting.
The bright green liquid has the 'normal' consistency that you would expect from a shower gel: it wasn't too thick and it wasn't too thin. It created a light foam and because I'm used to thick foams coming from Lush's shower gels, B-Electro's light foam was slightly disappointing. However, it still lathered up quite nicely and the jojoba oil made sure that the shower gel moisturised my skin and made my body feel soft.
The aroma of B-Electro lasted on my skin for about half an hour which was good and my skin stayed moisturised throughout the day.
Overall, I wasn't too impressed with the false advertising of the smell - I don't know, maybe other users of this shower gel smelled the citrusy aromas of the grapefruit oil - but the shower gel still did smell amazing with it's floral, woody smell. And it's the smell of B-Electro that will make me want to keep using this product. It's not on my list of top 10 shower gels, but it still is very good and I was thoroughly impressed with how moisturising it was.

Danger! Danger! High voltage, a lather's best, when full of zest!Charge on full power by sneaking into a steamy session with enlivening grapefruit oil.

It sure is exciting, but there's no risk of short-circuiting when you have grounding fennel on your side.
