Molton Brown TSV 06/10/24

[Mazza]

I think it’s this set I bought as well in April 2021. Only £11.75 a bottle at the time.

I got this set at the time and they are all very nice except Flame Tree and Pimento. Although that has a nice earthy smell, it just didn’t lather at all. In the end I converted it to a handwash.

I bought the current quad the other day. I like them all, although lemon and mandarin handwash was a little bland. I tried the apricot one in the MB shop and it was lovely, adore rhubarb and rose and like to use pink pepper too. If the lemon one doesn’t come up to shower expectations, I shall convert that to a handwash as well.

A shame about the Flame Tree & Pimento. I hate it when body washes don’t lather. It happened with Liz Earle for me and I’ve never bought theirs since. I know there may be additives that cause them to foam up but I’m willing to accept that, I’m afraid, as long as they don’t make me itch like some do. I have tried mine and didn’t notice a lack of foam but we shall see next time (2026?].

We should start getting some hints about this one soon surely?

Calm down, young lady!

sadly it dont always work like that most aint allowed to hint till a week before but it is being worked on

 

[ClaireKelly]

Still no hints? I’m really surprised…the MB Christmas TSV is always a big seller and we are just a week away now if it goes on advance orders… I do like to have time to mull it over and work out which one I’m getting! And moan about the useless tiny sizes of course….

I spotted the MB Xmas range on their website. For me, very boring and no interest. No new fragrances just Elderflower, Orange Spice

I’ve never seen Orange Spice before..
Just been to look on their website..of course I have and you are right, it all looks very boring.

As I said, i was presuming the TSV would be on advance orders as usual, so would go on sale next Tuesday ready for the weekend.
And it’s very usual for there to be no whispers at all about such a big brand Christmas TSV.
But I guess we will just have to wait!

It is indeed unusual to not have any hints yet. Last year TSV was known two weeks before and it was on pre sale.

 

[Battiola73]

Haven’t bought. A Christmas MB TSV for years. I wait until they have one on early December which usually has smells I like (and no Rhubarb and Rose or Heavenly Gingerlily!)

I am interested in the Orange spice handwash/lotion. Think I saw it on QVC? It's on my Christmas list

[donna255]

So, my crystal ball says, a choice of two different mixes of scents. Two or three 300mls bath/shower gels, plus 2 full size hand washes and 5 mini sizes of bath/shower gel.

In other words, the same one they offer as a TSV every year.

I HATE anything that smells of orange spice.

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.

I could be interested in the orange spice. I ran out of the frankincense and allspice set purchased many years ago, last Christmas. Used it from beginning of December until end January each year. Still smelt the same as I kept it in a dark cupboard

 

[MrMarple]

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
