£40 is an awful lot.l.

 

[donna255]

Don't forget the £3.95 postage on top.

But Donna, surely that's the smell of Christmas? I hate the smell (and taste) of blue cheese and everyone tells me THAT'S the smell of Christmas I really like a gift of MB so I shall punt it out around my family.

And that is why I hate it! Well, I don't want to smell of any food if I can help it, especially orange. Last year I loved the Merry Berry and Mimosa set and even bought a back-up in their sale as it did not smell of Christmas.

 

[Letz-be-avenue]

Not everyone's cup of tea but my favourite scent is Amber Cocoon, I think it's now discontinued, luckily I have a small stash, I just love the warm, slightly spicey scent

 

[donna255]

Yes, only the Amber Neon is still around.

£51 from Molton Brown

 

[Battiola73]

They seem to have discontinued all my favourites. I like the more citrusy fresh scents and don’t like the current offerings. All too rich and leaning towards oud type scents. Perhaps they’re more suited to the 1001 different genders.

Bloody hell

After being very disappointed with the last two Christmas TSV's from MB I'm not holding out much enthusiasm for this offer to be honest.
I really hope I'm wrong but I don't think I will be unfortunately.

Although if it contains full sizes of Coastal Cypress, Eucalyptus, Vetiver & Grapefruit and either a Dark Leather or a Pink Pepper all for under £40.00 including postage I might just be tempted

Dream on

 

[Totally Loopy Lou]

I might buy if it has full sizes of Bushukan, Eucalyptus, Silverbirch, Lemon and Mandarin, Pink pepper shower gels and Amber Cocoon handwash. Or if it’s has the new Clementine & Vetiver one. There’s also a new Rosemary one but it’s an oil in gel and I’d be worried that it might make the bath slippery.

I’ve put the same question to QVC many times if the l’Occitane almond is safe to use in the shower. No response. I’d like to try but fearful of slipping in the shower.

I don’t know what the official line is, but I’ve often used L’Occitane almond oil in shower - in fact I thought it was a shower oil!

I would say it does/ can make bath a bit slippery. Obviously if you’re aware of it, and are extra careful it’s better but if you’re very unsteady on your feet, maybe don’t risk it?

Or sit down to do your feet and legs with it?

It’s not like pouring cooking oil into bath as it’s more viscose than that and does rinse away to some extent but..!

 

[Toril]

I’ve got enough MB to last me for a couple of years, as well as quite a few of the Lidl “copies” so I don’t think I’ll be tempted by the TSV.

As Totally Loopy Lou mentioned the L’Occitane Almond shower oil, I tried it a few years ago and can confirm it does make the bath very slippery. That was not my plan when I bought it. I slipped and only by the grace of God didn’t injure myself or break anything, despite having a non slip bath mat in the bath. Not ideal when I was recovering from a total knee replacement. Thankfully I lived to tell the tale (obviously) but would never buy it again although it did smell quite nice.

Batti, I use the Aldi dupe of the almond oil shower wash and I find it safe to use, no slipping! It turns to a milky liquid on contact with water.

 

[Battiola73]

Thanks everyone for your input. I have a shower stool and a non slip mat in my bath as well as grab handles as m not so good on my feet these days. I think I’ll give it a miss and stick to my stock of MB and Faith in Nature.

Here are my predictions for Saturday 5th October at 9.05pm as the launch show begins :

Battiola73: “Well, there’s no Bushukan, Eucalyptus, Silverbirch, Lemon & Mandarin, Pink Pepper or Amber Cocoon, so I’m giving this one a miss.”

MrMarple: “No Vetiver & Grapefruit or Dark Leather either, and it’s £54.95, but there’s a 50ml Coastal Cypress, so I’ve just ordered two sets.”

I’ve already decided I’m not buying because I’m a saint but some on the forum are weaker than others. That’s all I’m saying.

From you Andi, I'm definitely taking that as a compliment

I really like option 1, and it will be nice to have the festive handwash again.

 

[Sarahmccrossan]

Love this. Great for keeping and also breaking up for little Christmas gifts. I normally use the little ones with a candle and a selector from hotel chocolate for little gifts for all my team at work x
