Hello dear readers!
About shower gels, which we will talk about today, I have written on the channel for a long time and more than once. They have a rather rare and solid aroma, not even in the collections of perfumers who are constantly looking for something unusual in their sound, especially among niche perfumes.
And these shower gels perfectly cleanse the skin, do not dry out, moderate durability - the aroma does not fly off after a couple of hours, but lasts throughout the day.
Judging by the fragrances, these gels are naturally inexpensive compared to popular perfumes. Judging by the expense of funds, everything is individual here. Enough 1-2 peas for cleansing. But there are people who "lather" their body in full: apply shower gel from the whole palm. With such a consumption, the gel will quickly end :-)
Let's talk today about the English stamp Molton brown. Few people know about it even among perfume enthusiasts. Their products are delivered to the royal court (there is a special badge on the bottle) and to expensive hotels. But because of the pandemic, when hotels are closed, they began to export their products to other countries more willingly.
Molton Brown has a lot of gels with different flavors. The brand positions itself as a supporter of everything natural. And the fragrances in their gels are not synthetic.
There are many good options, but the aroma fades quickly. There are some rather strange ones, for example, with eucalyptus - you leave the bathroom and become a walking clinic for half a day.
I selected several gels with such an aroma that there was no luxury lying around. You will not find such a scent in any perfume.
1. Molton Brown "Delicious Rhubarb and Rose"
I have not ordered a 300 ml bottle yet, for a year and a half the small bottle has not ended yet.
Rhubarb in perfume is a rather rare note. And in combination with a rose, due to its acidity, it makes it more expressive. It is very unusual, interesting and has a train for the whole apartment. A real garden rose, rich, without powderiness, sugar and other confectionery, which is fashionable to "shove" into a rose now.
2. Molton Brown with ginger and lily extract
For those who this year does not have a holiday by the sea, but mentally wants to go there. The aroma can be briefly called a resort. Spicy ginger with lily adds exoticism and authenticity to warm weather by the sea.
There is a very beautiful tuberose here: a little creamy, the smell of coconut oil and tanned skin.
That feeling when the native bathroom of the house turns into a bathroom of a five-star hotel.
3. Molton Brown "Russian leather"
Or how Siberians smell in the opinion of the British :-))
Here's what I noticed. An interesting detail: in any foreign products where our country is mentioned, it is always done with conscience and is very popular abroad.
Molton's "Russian skin" is being swept away, you know who? Believe it or not - in addition to the British, the Japanese are buying it.
Perfumers were inspired by Siberia and conveyed the aroma beautifully: strong black tea, purple basil, tobacco, burnt pine, and all this is wrapped in white birch birch. Brutal, attractive, unusual and mysterious. Lovers of niche perfumery will appreciate it.
Well, for the price. The last time I ordered a set of 8 small vials within 2500 rubles. And full sizes (300 ml) for 1800-2100 rubles. (depends on the aroma).
This brand is not represented either in L'Etoile or in Rive Gauche. He is not very well known, which means that it is impossible to face fakes. I ordered it on a foreign website, since there is support in Russian there.
Such gels will be mostly of interest to those who want to learn something new about perfumery. Or he likes to give his family and friends (and himself too) something original and unpopular, where you can't buy in a store near your home.
