Molton Brown Delicious Rhubarb and Rose Bath and Shower Gel

 Continuing on with Molton Brown- a brand which had a royal warrant. Meaning it was a favorite of the late Queen Elizabeth. I wonder if this particular scent was a favorite of hers?

Molton Brown claims:

Be irresistibly indulged with a tempting slice of our just-baked summer dessert, complete with an utterly moreish recipe of bright grapefruit, tart rhubarb and creamy vanilla. Vivacious. Fizzy. Tempting.

Drift into a rambling garden with our signature fragrance; this body wash has the distinctive delicacy of Yorkshire rhubarb leaf and soft rose, finished with zesty grapefruit.

Made in England

Rhubarb is not a scent you encounter much in the bath and body/beauty world. In all the years of buying, trying and reviewing I have only used one of Rhubarb scent- Lush Rhubarb and Custard.  I don't remember thinking the Lush one smelled of Rhubarb- more of a sour/sweet candy. I did really like the scent. This shower gel does smell like Rhubarb though. I tried a Rhubarb Soda a few weeks ago and this scent reminds me of that. 

It smells very off from the bottle. Even a bit strange. The first time I used it, I wasn't a fan. The Rhubarb was a very unique scent with its's tart and sour scent, the grapefruit was a bit too room spray smelling, and the rose was barely there. I'm not sure what happened but it grew on me and I really enjoy it now. The grapefruit scent didn't stick out as much as it did the first time...and I still don't get as much rose as I want but I like it, and always look forward to using it. I can't explain it. I went from disliking it...to now liking it. 

I think my favorite thing about the scent is how unique it is. I don't think I will ever come across anything similar. Even though I don't like repurchasing...I feel like I would repurchase it. I want to try the scent in the hand soap and the candle for sure. I almost forgot to mention that the scent of this lingers in the bathroom, the scent is medium in the shower- but lingers so nicely after (not on the skin though).

As for the gel itself, it's a pretty light pink color. Lathers nicely, rinses clean, and doesn't feel drying. 

I bought mine in a sampler set for about $5 or $6 a piece...they are currently on sale for Labor Day so a good time to order.

The ingredients are fine. Shower Gel never has ingredients that will blow you away. There are a few extracts in it that I like seeing, it even has Rhubarb AND Rose extract.
