The Scent
With rich floral notes at the heart – lily, tuberose and tagetes – and gently spiced top notes of cardamom and ginger, this is a truly unique scent. It’s both cocooning and nostalgic but also makes you think of far flung exotic locations drenched in sunshine. Whilst a heady base of cedarwood and musk give it a little masculinity, warmth and make it last on the skin all day.

The Story
It seems the ‘90s trend that’s everywhere right now has extended to fragrance too. Heavenly Gingerlily is a scent that defines the era, taking inspiration from the aquatic scent trend of the time that so many of the top perfumes lent into – think salty sprays, notes of algae and fresh sea air.
Master Perfumer Jacques Chabert also drew inspiration from a visit to a botanical garden, where he become captivated by an exotic type of ginger lily. Marrying the floral with the fresh marine notes created what went on to become one of Molton Brown’s most successful lines.
Today, the brand’s focus looks to sustainability, manufacturing all their products in England at their carbon neutral facilities in Elsenham. Processes they are currently carrying out to ensure they are being as kind to the planet as possible are using bottles from 50% recycled plastic; giving customers incentives to recycle their empties in-store with 10% discounts on their next purchase; and adding to their refillable range.
