Molton Brown TSV 22/04/18

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

the next Molton Brown TSV is on the 22/04/18

 

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

first up

RHubarb & rose body wash

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

Rhubarb and Rose seems to have taken the place of Heavenly Gingerlily, it's in every bleedin' TSV these days.

I love rhubarb, and I like the smell of roses, but the combination smells nauseating to me. Smells are so personal - what one person loves is vile to another.

My MB stash is so huge I am glad I won't be tempted. The full sized ones are already here and need to be consumed before I get repeats. I know the Davana is regarded as an outlet perfume but I think it is very nice. I also like Rhubarb and Rose and I am pleased it has replaced the Q mania for Gingerlily of which I have never been overly fond.

Mazza, what does the Davana Blossom smell like? I also have a decent stash of MB but work my way through it steadily so I could be tempted as long as I like the sound of the main scent as I like everything else in the TSV (I also don't especially like Gingerlily, to my nose an insipid, generic scent).

 

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

i wouldnt mind getting that davana blossom especially in that 500ml size but its nice to have a more unusal one in a bigger size in a tsv so thats a good sign

 

[AndiK]

It's gong to be about £50, isn't it? I can't justify that with the amount I already have (MB and non-MB). A shame because it's a nice configuration and selection of smells for me.

I am going to remind myself what the Davana Blossom smells like when I walk through the local department store with it in today. Before Christmas, I sniffed loads and made a note of likes and dislikes and DB is on the former list. Your description of Gingerlily as "an insipid, generic scent" is spot on - I'm afraid there are quite a few like that for me, including Orange and Bergamot which from the name, I thought I would love, and the more unisex or male ones like Blue Maquis.

Totally agree re Orange & Bergamot, it should be a riot of the senses but it just smells flat and a little 'off' to me, do not like! However, my least favourite MB scent is a toss-up between samphire (so bland) and honeysuckle and white tea (so cloying, makes me gag).

As I believe we are in agreement on all these, I think/hope you would like Davana Blossom too then!

 

[China Girl]

Samphire is my favourite, but can't get it anywhere now.

Love the rhubarb and rose handwash, but not the shower gel or handcream.

 

[boffy]

China Girl, it's available in this trio from Q...hopefully you also like the other scents otherwise a lot of money to spend just to get one!

Sorry about delay, I have been to see Sunset Boulevard. Excellent and Danny Mac a far better singer than I expected. Now as far as I recall Davana Blossom. Is a very pretty floral but I couldn't give you any specific notes. But I know I thought it a very feminine floral number (I hope Im not getting confused!!!) I have just used up a box of minis and I rather liked the Orange and Bergamot, I thought it had a bit more oomph than I remembered. I cannot abide the purple.one.


Ps just dug it out if the stash.... It says jasmine and neroli on the bottle and I wou would say jasmine is the more prominent.

What, Davana Blossom has Jasmine & Neroli? The very two things I avoid! How odd that I like that MB fragrance!
They didn't have it in the shop here today. I tried a couple of others as hand/body lotions on my hand and could barely smell them.
