Molton Brown shower gels

BaconAndAvocado · 29/08/2023 07:33

Would like to have a bit of a splurge!
Mostly use Aldi or Radox gel.

Can anyone recommend a gorgeous smelling one?

Then I will store it in an undisclosed location for my personal use.

I love the rhubarb one but my all time favourite is the eucalyptus. Lidl do dupes of both unbelievably cheaply, about 50p. It's a thinner consistency and doesn't last anywhere near as long but the scents are pretty much spot on.

Rhubarb and rose is my absolute favourite, but will look at the M&S version!

BaconAndAvocado · 04/09/2023 10:46

Looking forward to trying the eucalyptus one.
There are a couple that aren’t really doing it for me, they have more of an after shave smell.
Think I might give them to DS1 for a stocking filler.

What is the Tabacco one like ?
I presume not like cigarettes?

Yettisrus29 · 04/09/2023 20:05

Pink Pepper is my go to, I'd have everything if I could afford it!

Have a look at QVC as they have lots of offers and multi packs and if you don't like it you can send it back.

Magnoliainbloom · 04/09/2023 22:48

Rose Dunes is magnificent - rose and oud.
Anither vote for the cypress one.

Niftythrifter · 04/09/2023 23:02

If anyone knows a cheap lush dupe of Pink Pepper, please post!

I love Molton brown shower gels. I love the orange one and MIL normally gets it for me for Christmas. I have just ran out. I now have the Lidl knock-off version......it's really good Blush As is the hand washes. Same scents and bottle shapes etc.

Niftythrifter · 05/09/2023 07:35

That should have said a dip for Pink Peppercorn.

Yes the Lidl rose and rhubarb hand wash smells exactly the same as MB. I was surprised how good it was

BaconAndAvocado · 05/09/2023 11:11

I discovered a great dupe for Lush Snow Fairy!
It's Treacle Moon Candy. It's only £2 in Boots and ,to me, smells exactly the same.

Molton Brown has gone down the toilet. They used to be lovely but are big standard now.

I prefer Rituals which is a similar brand.

I find rituals overpriced tbh.

Whohashiddenthebiscuits · 05/09/2023 14:10

Completely agree re Rituals - over priced and sickly scents.
Never tried the Lidl MB knock offs but the Aldi ones are ok but the scent fades really fast.

BaconAndAvocado · 05/09/2023 14:47

Just got the MB rhubarb and rose dupe from Aldi, it’s fab! Smells identical, waiting to see what the lather situation is.

MB are lovely. Love rose one. My friend got me a lovely one last xmas fabled juniper its lovely.

ZolaBudd · 05/09/2023 21:24

The dupes never last as long

Lovebeingamummy2 · 05/09/2023 21:28

coastal cypress & sea fennel or heavenly gingerly x

Member968405 · 05/09/2023 21:30

M and S also do an orange and bergamot one which to me smells exactly like an MB one. V strong refreshing scent

MMMMMaria · 06/09/2023 09:50

Hard to describe but not tobacco at all, more woody, sandlewood, rich and warm,

True but at the price Lidl charge for a big bottle I can live with that!!

I'm another fan of the rhubarb handwash

ZolaBudd · 06/09/2023 16:55

Lol. Rhubarb hand wash sounds funny typed

hattie43 · 06/09/2023 17:01

Blissful Templetree is always in my bathroom . MB have lots of nice ones .

BHRK · 06/09/2023 20:02

I love MB, the shower gels all have long lasting smells and the consistency is great. They last ages
