Disadvantages: The Price.
Price and Availability
I purchase my Molton Brown products directly from their website (www.moltonbrown.co.uk). Molton Brown also have their own range of shops dotted about the country and they are also stocked in various department stores such as House of Fraser and John Lewis. This product retails at £18.00 for 300ml. Molton Brown occasionally issue discount codes to be used online and I used one for a free shower gel with any purchase meaning I got two shower gels for the price of one alongside the 30ml free sample that comes as standard from the website. I got to choose between two free shower gels and I had a choice of four options for my free sample so overall I did get a bit of leeway to choose products I would use. I like Molton Brown as my special treat and although I think it is expensive ordering it like this means I get more for my money. I don't think I would order Molton Brown without it being on offer.
Packaging
All Molton Brown bottles are very similar. This shower gel comes in a sturdy, clear bottle with a silver push button top (you push one side down and it tilts to reveal an opening). The cap is embossed with 'Molton Brown' around the sides, this adds to the brands luxury image. It has Molton Brown London written on the front and small writing underneath revealing this particular fragrance in this case 'Blissful Templetree'. The Molton Brown brand is very concerned with it's 'British-ness' and so where it is made features prominently on the packaging and the website. The back of the bottle has the Molton Brown logo, contact details, ingredients list, bar code and a description of the benefits of the product.
The majority of the writing on the bottle is white and unassuming. This means that all the colour of the product comes from the shower gel itself. This is a really nice touch as it allows the consumer to see the product prior to purchase. This particular product is a gorgeous vibrant blue colour reminiscent of cleansing ocean waters and relaxing spas. The product really does sell itself in this case as it's the gorgeous colour and name that enticed me to choose this particular fragrance.
Product
As I just mentioned this product is a gorgeous sea blue colour. It pours out of the bottle easy with minimal squeezing, which is good as the bottle is very sturdy (although not puppy proof as I found out the hard way!). This product is described as being for 'bath and shower' and I successfully use it as both. A small amount under warm running water produces thick, luscious bubbles and an aroma which fills all corners of the bathroom. A small amount on body puff produces enough lather to coat yourself generously and more to spare. The fact that a little goes a long way makes the £18.00 price tag a little more bearable.
The fragrance is delightful. It is a very sweet floral scent but is definitely not sickly. It doesn't smell artificial like some cheaper shower gels and it has subtle strength to it rather than being overbearing. It has a warm balmy feel to it like a relaxed summer evening in an exotic location. The product contains 'temple tree' and 'sea silk proteins' designed to calm 'sun flushed' skin. I can't vouch for the product helping with sunburn as I live in England but this product definitely soothes my skin leaving it clean, fresh and moisturised.
Overall, £18.00 is a lot of money for a shower gel but you get what you pay for. I don't drink, smoke or socialise all that often so a little treat every once in a while is never a bad thing.
Summary: A blissful bath-time in a bottle.
