Hi.

I bought a couple of these to split up and give as gifts at Christmas. I thought I would post this in case it helps someone. I know Molton Brown is not for everyone.

2 hand washes for £25

2 bath and shower gels for £26

If you use the code here it takes 17% off the bill.

Using the code the hand wash works out £10.37 per bottle and the bath and shower £10.79 per bottle. Normally £18 per bottle at Molton Brown.

That is a brilliant offer - thank you.

Just curious - why would anyone pay these prices just for a brand label, when the contents are no different from the equivalents as sold in Aldi, Lidl etc at well under a tenth of the price?

Me personally, I spend £3000 or more on a bathroom, I don't want "cheap" things in it. Just my opinion though.

It is not just a brand label though.

I use cheaper ones usually Boots own brand for everyday use but I do like a bit of luxury now and again and they are different.

We've had this conversation every single time on here when anyone posts molton brown. It's got a higher concentration of perfume in it. Why does anyone pay £60 for perfume when you can buy a bottle from Pound land?! Personal taste. If its cheaper than it normally is then its a bargain and deserves to be here. And noone should have to justify their own tastes.

No question of justification. As I said, just curious.

I can see the point with perfumes, but handwashes and shower gels are all pretty much identical chemically, hence the question.

I would diasgree.

I have some Chanel No 5 shower gel that I use on the rare ocassion that I have a night out.

It is much different to the one I use on a daily basis.

So different. I agree some expensive products just aren't worth the extra, but I personally find the MB hand washes worth every penny. You need only the tiniest amount, it lathers so nicely, its non drying and your hands smell amazing for hours afterwards. I've not found any other hand wash that does this.

Interesting that they did a comparison between MB and another hand wash (Aldi or similar, I think) on one of the TV shows looking at people who are seduced by brands. The two containers were swapped and - guess what! - the MB was dismissed as unpleasant, sticky, poor level of perfume...

That said, I entirely agree that MB scent lingers like no other and smells divine, although I do wonder if I too would be fooled by such a swap. Probably!
