In fact, it sat in the bathroom for two months until it was packed away (size over dedication to the body wash was the deciding factor) for my holidays. I tanned nicely, a bit too nicely around my shoulder and tattoo which meant using harsh or abrasive body washes would have been agony.
As a little background, I’m not committed to the brand, I’ve tried and written about their Seamoss Stress-relieving Hydrosoak in the past so was intrigued as to how this would react. My initial thoughts where why the hell would I want to smell like a peppercorn!
So how do I rate this?
A 300ml bottle of the body wash is available here from the Molton Brown website for £18. This is what the site has to say about the body wash:
‘A luxurious bath and shower gel with Madagascan Black Peppercorn oil.
The fragrance
Top note: Refreshing coriander.
Middle note: Black peppercorns.
Base note: Aromatic vetiver.
Formerly known as Re-charge Black Pepper.’
Not much waffle is there and what is this? Notes, for a body wash. Have I fallen into a different dimension? This is the first body wash or scrub I’ve seen that has notes!
On holiday I found this body wash a godsend. After spending all day in the sun fishing lets just say I smelt, erm,…..ripe. As soon as I unscrewed the lid the most masculine, deep warm amber smell hit me. You can detect hints of coriander but the base notes of vetiver punched straight through to the fore. This has a powerful fragrance, and it matches this in the washing stakes too.
After pouring a little onto my hand I found that it lathered up really well making washing very easy. The rich lather maintained its strong aroma and after a good scrub it worked its magic. Despite being a little tender the body wash seemed to soothe it slightly and didn’t irritate my skin.
The strong aroma dies down really quickly, within around 10 minutes of drying off but it lingers ever so subtly on the skin. Not only did the face leave me feeling refreshed I loved the earthy fragrance notes and the warmth that it produced while showering. Only a small amount was needed and even now with regular use (amongst the other many products I have to try) I have half a bottle left.
Personally I really like this and wish I hadn’t waited for so long to try it.
As an aside, in the lead up to Christmas 2014, Molton Brown have a bauble of the body wash available as a limited edition gift here.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I think it sounds really refreshing, I can see why you liked it!
ReplyDeleteDo you think that you would buy it? How much does it retail for? A lot I'd imagine. I'm sure I've seen cheaper brands with similar scents, such as Original Source. I agree that these sort of scents are traditionally very masculine but clean - I love them for the men in my life!

Yes, I would buy it again, and at £18 for 300ml it is a bit expensive. Stephen :o)
DeleteI buy this for my hubby, it smells just amazing. if you like it, try Pep noir by Bodhi too.

Thanks for the tip Emma, I'll give it a try. Stephen :o)
DeleteA body wash with notes is something.. I'm glad you enjoyed using it. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you found your thing! Hmm 18 pounds for a bodywash? Not my thing I guess. I also don't love strong scents, unless it's chocolate of course..nomnomnom

my OH tends to prefer Original Source - he's not a fan of these 'masculine' scented products as th're generally a bit too much
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to find I liked the scent of this too, though I wouldn't use it x
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely, bit pricey for a body wash though.

I do like Molton Brown products and this ones sounds really lovely! I like to switch up body washes as I love lots of different scents. Something I always gravitate towards though is anything from Soap & Glory
