About Men & Colours: a study in Molton Brown

Ever since 1973, the London house of Molton Brown has delivered fine fragrances, bath and body items and lovely candles to the world. They proudly state that they are against all animal testing and also holds the Royal seal of approval, meaning they deliver to the British Royal family.

The first time I ever visited a Molton Brown store was in London, and I just got sucked into it! All the vivid colours, the exotic names of equally exotic ingredients where just intoxicating. You wish to have a little bit of everything, make your bathroom look chic but fancy and put out matching hand wash and lotion on your guest toilet. Basically, Molton Brown means status. A little bit like showing of your Orange Kitchen Aid for everyone to see…

One more thing that Molton Brown is, is unisex. I can’t particularly think of one single scent that would only suit women, even though the website suggests a selection of the range extra popular by men.

While a lot of products aimed for men comes in monochrome, hard packages, these products are different. My husband has always loved colours; cufflinks, ties, loafers…colours seems to make him happy! I like it. This is his preference when it comes to a very nice, male body wash: Molton Brown Caju & Lime. He like to use it after a morning by the pool.

Super fresh with antioxidant-rich caju extract it both smells and feels divine. The small micro beads inside helps the oils inside to spread evenly.

With a top note of energizing caju fruit, loaded with vitamin c, a middle note with mint aroma oil and base note with a huge puff of lime it is really a bestseller and still it’s limited edition. Not so easy to get hold of, and in Dubai it has been sold out for several periods of time.

When I see this one in stock, I tend to grab a bottle. It’s the perfect gift and my husband appreciates to always have one at hand. A small bottle of love if you will!

Soon, the new series for men, Tobacco Absolute will hit the stores. It’s already available online and with Argentinian grapefruit, rosewood, leather and tobacco extract I believe it will be a huge hit under the christmas tree!  I urge you all to read more about this cool launch over here. Next time you spot a store or a counter, spend some time there. All stores do have sink and towels for you to properly try out the products all lather up with water. A very nice touch which makes it so much easier to get your husband to come with you into the store in the first place 🙂
