Every year Molton Brown releases Limited Edition products and curated gift sets to bring the feeling of wintry festivities into your home. The latest holiday editions include much loved Vintage with Elderflower, Fabled Juniper Berries & Lapp Pine, and Festive Frankinsense & Allspice collections. Today I wanted to share my thoughts on a few products featured in these collections, and maybe inspire you to pick up a treat or two as a little gift for yourself, or for someone special.
Molton Brown Vintage with Elderflower Bath & Shower Gel ($33) won over my heart last winter, and I’ve been using it sparingly ever since whenever I needed a quick pick me up. It took me almost a year to finish the bottle, so you can say I’ve been really ‘babying’ it, and rightfully so, because this is such an exquisite body wash! It sparkles and shines with thousands of tiny shimmery particles that give the skin a little glow that stays – not too much, but it’s definitely there. It also smells amazing! Bright notes of grapefruit, petitgrain, vetiver, and English elderflower make up a festive and sophisticated bouquet.
“Capturing the essence of a refined celebration in a breathtaking French chateau, the blend inspirits that moment of anticipation and ultimate effervescence ahead of parties.”
Molton Brown Vintage with Elderflower Scented Candle ($49) is very fragrant even when it’s not lit. I originally had it burning in the bathroom to make the space smell nice, but quickly realized what a waste that was. If you tried other Molton Brown candles, you may be used to a more subtle outcome, so keep in mind that this one is really potent. It can single-handedly scent the entire floor, if given the chance [with open doors & good air flow].
Molton Brown Fabled Juniper Berries & Lapp Pine Bath & Shower Gel ($30) makes the perfect addition to my hand wash from the same collection. I saved half of it from last year, and pulled it out again after the first snow. This fragrance definitely reminds me of winter. The blend includes notes of juniper berry, pine tree, oakmoss, and Lapp pine bark, and they come together so beautifully to add a little spark to the snowy landscape outside.
“Inspired by the arctic landscape of Laponia, Fabled Juniper Berries & Lapp Pine captures the essence of wintry Christmas. As snow falls on the old-growth pine forests, a magical winter playground comes to life.”
The scent is fairly masculine, that’s why I am only using the hand wash from this collection. My husband totally adores the body wash though. He can skip cologne and still smell great, and as a minimalist he appreciates the opportunity to use one less product and still look groomed and put together for the holidays.
Molton Brown body products are among my favorite indulgences, so I feel like you really can’t go wrong no matter which line you try. I am always impressed with the depth and longevity of the fragrances that are uniquely English, and I look forward to making the holiday feeling last longer with these limited edition scents.

Their scent combos always awaken my senses! I have 2 that i’ve gotten in past advent calendars and am too scared to use them since they small so good! 🙂
I know what you mean, I feel like their body wash scents are better than so many actual perfumes out there.
I love Moulton Brown shower gels. The first one with the sparkles sounds amazing!
Aren’t they wonderful? A steep price point, but the quality is definitely top notch.
These are so elegant. What a nice hostess gift they’d make.
I thought so too. Everybody can use some body wash 🙂
These look like lovely additions to anyone’s stash this time of the year
They look beautiful in the shower caddy, with those cute little bells 🙂
Everything about these just look so classy!
Right? Their products look so luxurious!
These look so absolutely classy!
I agree! Love the packaging design, and those little bells are adorable.
You know I’m a huge Molton Brown fangirl. I just bought a full-sized Pink Pepperpod shower gel for myself as a treat. Vintage With Elderflower would be right up my alley!
It’s such a wonderful scent! They should have it available all year round, I bet it would be a hit.
I pretty much never splurge on bath products, but you just sold me on the Vintage wash!
I sometimes splurge on shampoo, rarely on body wash, but when I do, I try to catch Molton Brown on sale.
These sure sound and look indulging, and I love pine tree scented products this time of year.
Me too! Pine is so perfect for the holiday season.
These are beautiful gifts. I need to catch them on sale
That’s what I do, too. The price is a bit steep, but a good sale makes it more wallet-friendly.
The Elderflower shower gel looks so magical! I don’t blame you for wanting to make it last! 🙂
It’s one of my favorite products from the brand!
these look so luxe
They feel very luxe to use too. A perfect guilty pleasure!
