The booklet also has a short summary of  Molton Brown's origins. This iconic London brand is also a staple in Buckingham Palace. Just sayin'.

The key fragrance families are clearly explained, making this whole box feel closer to a wine tasting than a beauty box. Very fancy.

Now onto the bath and shower gels!

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set body wash lineup

Just look at how beautiful and colorful they all are!

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set bergamot

Molton Brown Orange & Bergamot Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

This scent is bursting with orange and neroli and has a base of woods. It reminds me of living in SoCal years ago and picking lemons and oranges from the citrus trees growing in my backyard. It is fresh and clean and filled with sunshine.

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set sun rose

Molton Brown Jasmine and Sun Rose Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

This is Molton Brown's new scent this season. Expect more jasmine than roses. There is also a little berry in there that I thought was unnecessary. It is very feminine and just a little powdery.

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set rhubarb

Molton Brown Delicious Rhubarb & Rose Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

I don't know that I have ever bought a rhubarb scent before and apparently, I have been missing out. It is sharper and just a little green, but the soft rose easily balances it out. It is a sweeter scent but still mature enough to feel sophisticated.

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set gingerlily

Molton Brown Fiery Pink Pepper Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

I love anything pink pepper! This is a spicy scent with hints of jasmine, woods, and patchouli. If this scent were a person, it would be a girl in a floral bell sleeved blouse paired with leather pants. Basically, shes really cool.

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set body wash

Molton Brown Heavenly Gingerlily Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

I didn't love this one, but I have an aversion to anything with cloves so it never really had a chance. I can appreciate how complex this scent is because it somehow has notes of clove and cardamom but still manages to smell incredibly tropical and beachy.

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set black pepper

Molton Brown Re-Charge Black Pepper Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

Now we are getting to the good stuff. I want to smell like this scent every day and forever and ever! Admittedly, I tend to like pretty polarizing scents, but this is still a Molton Brown best seller! This gel smells like campfires, dark flowers, spices, and a good book.

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set tobacco

Molton Brown Tobacco Absolute Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

Another dreamy scent! Think leather, citrus, and deep woods combined with sweet tobacco. Instant memories of sticky summer nights, sweet tea, and porch swings. Swoon. I fully expect my husband to steal this one and I am totally cool with it.

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set cypress

Molton Brown Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

I avoid tropical and beachy scents but this gel evokes a cold coast and reminds me of walking the beach during the fall in Rhode Island with a thick wool sweater. It smells like salt and ocean mixed with musk and cedar. It also has some soft floral notes which add to its nostalgic charm.

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set templetree

Molton Brown Blissful Templetree Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

I really like this scent. It reminds me of incense and relaxation. It has a strong sandalwood and patchouli base but the first thing that hits your nose is citrus and gardenia. It is unapologetically bohemian. It immediately puts me in a really zen state of mind and I plan on using it with a candlelit bath.

Look Fantastic Molton Brown Gift Set ylang ylang

Molton Brown Relaxing Ylang-Ylang Bath & Shower Gel, 100mL - Estimated Value $10.67 (Buy 300mL for $32.00)

Ylang-Ylang is a sexy scent in general and this quality is amplified by adding in some musky florals and a little orris. Although this is named "Relaxing Ylang-Ylang" I recommend it before date night.

The Verdict: This box was INCREDIBLE! What a great way to try out a ton of Molton Brown scents without the (expensive) investment of buying a full-size bottle. Even the scents I didn't love were still intriguing to me as a scent nerd and I loved the booklet with all the note information. The box itself was impeccably packaged and felt oh so luxurious. This $45 dollar box has an estimated value of $106.67.

The Wrap Up:

Can you get this box if you sign up today? Sadly no, this box is sold out, but there is a very similar gift set here with some scent variations.

Value Breakdown: At $45.00 for this box, each of the 10 scents costs an average of $4.50.

I love natural/vegan beauty products, Korean skincare, unique jewelry, and weird candies from far away places. When I am not waiting for my next exciting box you can find me painting or taking photographs of interesting people. I never leave home without pug hair somewhere on my shirt and a bold lipstick on my smile.

❤️ this! Got mine with a coupon so paid $3.80 each and am putting them in gift bags for coworkers. There will be a few left over for me, hard part is deciding which ones to keep!

this box is the start of a likely unhealthy addiction to the pepper scent for me. I am obsessed.

I wish I had bought like 5 of these when I had the chance! The smaller sets are still a great value IMO.

I’m a huge Molton Brown fan and I would urge anyone who likes highly scented products to give this brand a try. Their products smell amazing and just an fyi, two of these shower gels are for men.

Probably my two favorites actually! I like a masculine scent 🙂

I would love this box, but not willing to pay that price. It’s a good deal, just don’t need them. If they mark it down not sure how I could resist.

I just don’t understand why they didn’t do more product variety. This is a great deal for stocking stuffers or gifting, but I’m not sure most people could get through 12 shower gels that quickly. When I am trying a new brand that has many scents, I like trying a variety of their products with their scents as well. That way I can more easily determine what my favorite scents are + my most liked products, plus how the scents might come off differently with different product types. (Maybe that’s why I like the Margot Elena boxes so much?)

Plus there is the risk with sending only one product type that it will be a miss – and even if I like one or two of the scents I would doubtfully re-order from a company if I disliked the only product from them I had sampled.

But all that said, it’s a neat idea to do the partnership boxes even if I think it could have benefited the brand itself more to offer a more varied curation.

It really is quite a lot of body wash, but I plan on gifting many of them. Its a pretty awesome stocking stuffer!
