Road Test
In the decades since 1973 when Molton Brown was first established, it has earned a reputation for being London's bath, body and beauty connoisseurs. And it’s a reputation well earned. Having lived in London for many years, it was always a key luxury brand which many people turned to when it was time for gift giving or simply to spoil yourself. To receive a box of goodies adorned by the Molton Brown seal was always a thrill, and when travelling, to see a lineup of Molton Brown products in the bathroom of your five-star hotel felt a bit like coming home. Molton Brown’s perfumes, shower gels, body lotions, candles and hand care products blend a long list of exotic ingredients with a touch of London eccentricity, resulting in a combination of bold fragrances and bright colours which really stand out from the crowd. You’ll find the brand in five-star hotels and high-end department stores across the world, and they’re also available Molton Brown’s boutiques in countries ranging from Europe to North America.
Popular in its lineup of gorgeous gift sets are the Women’s Travel and Men’s Travel Luxuries Set, London Via The World, an exotic collection of travel sized essentials featuring some of its best loved blends to pamper you for head to toe, inspired by some of the world's great destinations. The women’s set, inspired by Tahiti and Bolivia, contains a 50ml Heavenly Gingerlily Caressing Body Polisher, a 100ml Gingerlily Body Wash, a 100ml Gingerlily Nourishing Body Lotion, a 40ml Gingerlily Replenishing Hand Cream, and a 100ml Indian Cress Purifying Shampoo. In contrast, the men’s set, inspired by Bolivia and Madagascar, contains a 100ml Black Peppercorn Body Wash, a 100ml Indian Cress Purifying Shampoo, a 30ml Ultra Light Bai Ji Hydrator, a 30ml Balancing Face Wash, and a 30ml Skin-calm Shaving Cream. A key thing about all these products is that not only do they smell wonderful and are lovely to use, they actually do the job they promise.
