Molton Brown is a brand that is synonymous with luxury and pampering, my aunties are long time fans of the brand but this is the first time I've tried anything from Molton Brown. They have recently launched their new Body Polishers collection which consists of the following four scents: Gingerlily, Pink Pepper, Eucalyptus and Ylang-Ylang.
I am very lucky to have received the *Molton Brown Ylang-Ylang Comforting Body Polisher (£34, 275g) as well as the *Molton Brown Ylang-Ylang Nourishing Body Lotion (£25, 300ml) and the *Molton Brown Ylang-Ylang Body Wash (£18, 300ml). All of the packaging and boxes look so fancy and expensive and they would make such an indulgent treat for yourself or someone else.
Let's start with the main product, the Molton Brown Ylang-Ylang Body Polisher which comes in a large, heavy tub and it contains Madagascan black vanilla grains, ylang-ylang and cedarwood oils. The scrub smells heavenly, it is floral and slightly sweet but it mainly musky, deep and creamy - it's the best smelling scrub I've ever used! The scent to me personally is so relaxing and calming so it is perfect for a pamper night. The scrub is so effective and exfoliating without being extremely abrasive. I've been using the body scrub on my legs before shaving and it helps to get the skin as smooth as it can possibly be and it also helps with extra dry areas such as elbows, knees and especially the backs of my arms which are always slightly bumpy - this scrub evens out my skin texture, smoothes and pampers the skin. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5!
Next up, the Nourishing Body Lotion which has the same scent although it's much more subtle. The lotion is clinically proven to hydrate the skin and it definitely does - the lotion feels very lightweight but it packs a punch of hydration like a thick body butter! It absorbs quickly, it doesn't irritate my skin and it leaves my skin SO velvety smooth, soft, moisturised and lightly scented. I love the pump dispenser as it is so handy and it's also easy to control just how much product you want use so there is no waste. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
Lastly, the Ylang-Ylang Body Wash and again the packaging looks so fancy and the scent is divine! The body wash contains extracts of yuan zhi to cleanse the skin as well as sweet cardamon. It lathers so well therefore a little goes a long way and it feels very luxurious to use, for a body wash anyway! It doesn't strip the skin or dry it out but it leaves my skin clean and ready for lotion. Sadly the scent does't really linger with this particular product but using all three together definitely does and I love using a matching set of products as it makes me feel far more organised and put together than I actually am! Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Overall, for my first experience of Molton Brown products I can say without a doubt that it is one of the most luxurious, indulgent and decadent brands I've used. The packaging is so fancy and the products themselves not only look gorgeous but they smell gorgeous too! I adore the body polisher and the nourishing lotion, I know I will get so much use out of them during the upcoming colder months when my skin is dull and dry. The scent to me to also quite autumnal as it is musky, deep and creamy as well as having sweet feminine and floral notes. I'm going to have to keep these lovely products under lock and key as I know my friends, aunties and my mum will want to use them! I definitely recommend the Molton Brown Ylang-Ylang range for yourself or a special gift for someone else! Here's my mini Molton Brown wish list:
