Molten Brown Smellalikes?

Flirtini_2

Hi all,

Am hoping to find some knowledgable people out there - google has so far revealed nothing!

My boyfriend recently discovered that I have a ton of stuff in the bathroom because, well, I have some nice bottles of stuff in there. Amongst them, a couple of small Molten Brown Suma Ginseng shower gel bottles - which he has now claimed as his own.

I know he would like more as he loves the smell. I also know that he is the type to happily wander into the MB store and pay nearly £20 for a bottle of shower gel without blinking (and then happily splash around in the bathroom, tipping half of it down the drain...):rotfl:

Anyone around to help me nip this in the bud and find a cheaper smellalike alternative?

Thanks!

I dont know about a smellalike (I think the major cost in the product will be the fragrance and packaging so much cheaper alternatives are likely to have to concede on the fragrance quality). If you sign up to the Molton Brown site though they do quite frequently have offers on to save money on Molton Brown, either in store or online.

Otherwise Bayliss and Harding try and set out to look like a more budget friendly version of MB. I'm not a fan but it could be brand snobbery on my part .

No, it's not brand snobbery on your part: can't speak for their shower gels but I bought a big thing of hand cream and it's awfully thin and fairly useless. Smells OK though!

There's a site called beautyexpert (sorry, can't do links yet), and it lets you use your Tesco reward vouchers- £10 to spend on site for £5 of rewards.
Bought a few things today and saw it had a few good sale offers for Molton Brown. From the homepage, click on "sale room". Free P&P, too...

Hi. I have noticed that the Bayliss & Harding handwash and body lotion - can't remember name but it's a clear yellowy colour - smells just like Naranji of molten brown. i always keep this pair in the kitchen - a lovely cheaper version of naranji. i haven't compared the rest of the range - but i'm sure that B&H have a close dupe for MB
