For me, Molton Brown is one of the much loved brands that was passed down from my Mum when I was gifted my first product at around 15/16 years old. It has luxurious, grown up and nostalgic feel that reminds me of high end perfumes, 5* hotels and exotic places.

So when I was given the opportunity to review their new GingerLily range, I jumped at the chance of to be taken back 10 years and be reintroduced to the brand with some indulgent much needed relaxation time.

First of all the packaging of Molton Brown products hasn’t changed and still looks as expensive, classy and gift worthy as I remember.  The Gingerlily range itself has a warm spiced floral scent with woody notes, which to me smells similar to a popular perfume brand! The sharpness of the scent is mellowed by tamanu nut oil to balance and marry the top and base notes.

A thick liquid body wash with a beautiful orange/ brown golden tone and warming ginger scent. The product itself lathers up beautifully on application with a small amount going a long enough way to savour the contents of the bottle. The body wash gently cleanses the skin whilst leaving a soft touch and incredible glamorous and pampered feel after rinsing. I love the passionate and sensual scent of this product, I actually put I small 50p size amount under the tap as I ran a bath and the lather foam was pretty impressive for a body wash not to mention that small drop filled the room with a familiar spa like scent.

For me personally, body polishes are by far the best product when it comes to exfoliating as the granules used typically massage deeper into the skin and aid ridding unwanted cells. The Heavenly Gingerlily Body Polisher does not disappoint with its use of micro exfoliating volcanic Tahitian sands, binding gel that grips to the skin and silky milk formula that that leaves the skin feeling flawlessly soft. Just like the whole Gingerlily range this scent is blissfully enticing with thoughts of unexplored islands, spice markets and warm summer sun.

A nourishing and body lotion with blends of warming ginger oil, spicy cedar wood, exotic tuberose, white lily and tamanu nut oil. The lotion itself has a medium consistency that sinks into the skin beautifully leaving a glamorous perfume like scent. After using this product I feel as though I’ve stepped foot out of a 5* hotel bathroom with silky soft skin (no tacky after feel) and a glamorous aroma, I just needed a white bathrobe and hotel waffle slippers!
