MOLTON BROWN FIERY PINK PEPPER EDT {REVIEW}

Over the decades Molton Brown has established a reputation for being 

London's bath, body and beauty connoisseurs.

 From humble beginnings in South Molton Street in 1971, to a globally

 recognised brand today.

Molton Brown regards themselves primarily as a perfumery house, 

producing some of the UK most celebrated perfumes, shower gels,

 body lotions, candles and hand care products blend exotic ingredients, 

with a touch of London eccentricity for bold fragrances and bright colours 

that stand out on the shelf.

You'll find Molton Brown in five-star hotels, stylish homes and high-end 

department stores across the world and yet their heart remains in London

 with a flagship home on Regent Street. 

Expertly created fragrance collections proudly hold a Royal Warrant for the 

supply of toiletries by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen.

Having recently received a sample of their hugely popular

Fiery Pink Pepper Edt, I was excited to try the fragrance variant of the 

same in the Bath & Shower Gel which I already adore, but then I

enjoy all the fragrance options in the Bath & Shower Gels.

Classified as a fresh, sultry, woody fragrance with:

Top notes

 of pink pepper, tangerine and elemi.

Heart notes

of nutmeg, ginger and jasmine.

Base notes

 of patchouli, cedarwood and oakmoss.

From the initial spritz I thought I was going to like this fragrance, but sadly

 as it developed, it turned into another "nice" fragrance and this is why it's so

important to give fragrance time on your skin, thus allowing the

notes to develop during each phase.

I'm personally looking for more than a "nice" fragrance and I could pick up

on the over riding pepper and ginger aromas, which

I didn't enjoy, however everyone is different as your "nose"

hones in on different elements of a fragrance.

Many fragrances today are unisex and I feel this fragrance would smell

better on my hubby than Moi

It just goes to show, despite liking the Fiery Pink Pepper Bath & Shower Gel,

 it doesn't automatically mean that you will enjoy the matching scent.

SUNDAY SAMPLE

 Having been given this MOLTON BROWN fragrance sample

by Skins Cosmetics, I'm looking forward to trying a new fragrance and

 using a sample is the very best way.

I don't think I have tried any Molton Brown fragrance before, so this

will be a first.

I'm already a huge fan of the same Fiery Pink Pepper Bath & Shower Gel,

 but if there is one thing I've learnt over the years, that doesn't guarantee

  I will enjoy or even like the Edt format.

Pop back next Sunday to find out if it was a "Hit or Miss"

MOLTON BROWN HEAVENLY GINGERLILY BATH & SHOWER GEL {#TBT REVIEW}

Whilst scrolling through past posts, in search of a review or article to feature

 in my#tbt post, I came across this review on the Molton Brown

Heavenly Gingerlily Bath & Shower Gel, however upon re-reading it made

me feel sad for various reasons.

Despite only going back to 2012 (8yrs), it mentions 3 powerhouses on the 

South African beauty landscape that sadly are no longer with us.

1.

 Glossybox

 the international monthly subscription beauty box that just didn't

thrive in SA.

2.

Stuttafords 

the department store that had been around for over 100 years.

3.

Red Square

The stand alone beauty store arm of Edgars has recently closed and re-located

their beauty back into the Edgars stores.

On a brighter note I have re-purchased the Heavenly Gingerlily

Bath & Shower Gel several times along with many other of the fragrance

 variants and Molton Brown has become one of my favourite go-tos for 

luxurious indulgent bubbles.

*I have amended the price*

~~~~~~

Molton Brown has been available for over 2 years now in South Africa, but this quintessential British export has been "wowing" its followers worldwide for 

nearly 40 years....so what or who is Molton Brown?

The natural and alternate hairdressing salon opened in 1973 and took its 

name from the street it was situated on...Molton Street London. 

Soon the salon created their own natural hair & body products and as the

 saying goes "the rest is history".

Molton Brown consists of luxurious product ranges for the bath, body, hair, 

men, home, gifting and travel using the finest plant and marine extracts. 

Over 85% of their products are produced in England. 

Expertly created fragrance collections proudly hold a Royal Warrant for 

the supply of toiletries by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen.

Now available in 70 countries worldwide this brand remains proudly British!

I remember fondly of a trip to London in the late 70's as a trainee 

Beauty Therapist making a "beeline" for Molton Brown on Molton Street,

hoping to walk in and get an appointment to have my hair cut....

Oh dear! what naivety.

The reason for this post, is that way back in May I received an exclusive

 Stuttafords "Glossybox" that contained a travel size (30ml) of the

 Heavenly Gingerlily Bath & Shower Gel. 
I cannot believe this was lying in a drawer begging me to try it for 

over five months! 

What is so nice about the Molton Brown product line up, is that it extends to

several products with the same fragrance, so once you have found you're

favourite, it can truly fragrance your room or whole house.

Those that know me well, I am a lover of my bath much preferring it 

to a shower.

For me a Foam bath must be as much about the fragrance and it benefits, 

as the staying power and volume of the bubbles, as you can't have one 

without the other and all of these I found to be great in this product.

 

The name heavenly is also very apt, as the fragrance is absolutely heavenly,

escape to exotic beaches with fragrant lily, warming ginger and cardamom 

in this alluring bath and shower gel.

Paraben-free, gluten-free, cruelty-free and vegan

No ingredient of animal origin

Would I buy it? Yes as the fragrance is far too "yummy" to resist...
