Editor’s Pick: Molton Brown’s Londinium and Limited Edition MMXII Collections

For Molton Brown there is no place like home. With the London Olympics being less than two weeks away, Molton Brown didn’t have to look any further than their own backyard for inspiration for their Limited Edition MMXII hand and body wash products. Known as the quintessential connoisseur of hand and body wash products, since 1973, this London-based brand has traveled around the world for rare ingredients for its products.

In honor of the London Olympics, Molton Brown has reissued hand and body washes from the Naran Ji, Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod and Re-Charge Black Pepper Collections, packaged in gold, silver, and bronze bottles. Infused with sweet Florida orange oil and a squeeze of grapefruit, ‘Gold’ Naran Ji Fine Liquid Hand Wash is Molton Brown’s original blend, brimming with naturally deodorizing citrus antioxidants to keep hands clean and fresh. For her, try ‘Silver’ Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod Bath & Shower, packed with a fresh ginger and patchouli punch. For him, choose ‘Bronze’ Re-Charge Black Pepper Bodywash, blending fiery Madagascan black peppercorn oil with lively bergamot for the ideal wake up call.

Molton Brown continues to celebrate the London Olympics with Londinium, its limited edition unisex fine fragrance. As a part of its Navigation Through Scent collection Molton Brown draws inspiration from ancient spice routes with ingredients ranging malt accord, myrrh, wild juniper, bergamot, and peaty oakmoss.

Londinium combines the old with the new, the old London of fine cigar smells, smart Savile Row suits and whisky cocktails paired with the New London and its rich tapestry of world cultures. All packaged in a limited edition, gold banded bottle.

Londinium retails for $140 and is available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Molton Brown stores and at moltonbrown.com. The Limited Edition MMXII collection retails for $28 and $30, respectively, and is now available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Molton Brown stores, and at moltonbrown.com.
