Vega: Bath & Body Gift Set

I adore Molton Brown so I admit I was probably already a little biased going into testing the Vega: Bath & Body Gift Set. This limited edition kit includes two bath & shower gels and two body creams in differing scents, the soothing Relaxing Yuan Zhi and the invigorating Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod.

This was my first time using Molton Brown body washes and they did not disappoint. The body wash is light, silky, and creates an enriching lather that left my skin feeling ultra clean but not dry.

The lotions are equally lovely with a thick, creamy, moisturizing formula that made my skin supple and soft. Rich in antioxidants and natural skin conditioners, these products are meant to soothe and keep skin healthy.

But what really makes Molton Brown such a standout are the unbelievably intoxicating and exotic scents! Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod has deep, rich undertones of patchouli with surprising peaks of gingery, peppery spice. It definitely has a kick!

Closer look of Relaxing Yuan Zhi

On the other hand Relaxing Yuan Zhi is a warm blend of vanilla, rose and ylang ylang that is heady, dark, and soothing. These formulas are not shy in their impact and have significant staying power. But the second you smell either one you will instantly feel like you’re being enveloped in a warm, aromatic blanket.

Pros:

High quality
Beautifully packaged
Great gift for that person who has everything
You can avoid the crowds and order online

Cons:
The price is little high, but these are really nice sets and they won’t disappoint

So, this holiday season, avoid the hectic malls and give your loved ones (and yourself) the gift of soothing, unwinding bliss with Molton Brown’s holiday bath & body gift sets!

  1. Moltn Brown products always ooze with luxury! Love them!! This set looks like no exception. What a great gift idea!

  2. Mmm those sound wonderful! When it comes to shower items, I like minty scents (LUSH Dirty) and foodie scents (pumpkin spice).

    1. If you like foodie scents then I think you’d like the Pink Pepperpod. It has a really nice spiciness to it! It smells amazing!

  3. Oh, yeah! Molton Brown products are awesome.. I love so many things that I have from them.. You just reminded me that I need to go there and get some gifts! Thanks for the great post.. and I am as bias as you are @kari!

    1. I have you to thank @irene for introducing me to Molton Brown! I still remember the first time I visited the South Coast Plaza location and being giddy with glee at the bath and body selection.

  4. Oh Molton Brown, how I love thee. This holiday set is covet worthy (as is pretty much everything from this brand). I like to spulrge on lux body washes and would love to find this gift set under my tree.

    While I haven’t tried a Molton Brown body wash, I have used a few of their body scrubs – and they’re amazing. Lush formulas + intoxicating scents + the perfect size/amount of exfoliating scrubbies – they’re the cream of the crop for bath and body fanatics.

  5. I’ve used (and loved) Molton Brown hair products, but their body line is a total mystery to me, so I really appreciate this overview, @kari . I especially like the idea of Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod (as long as I don’t have to say it out loud!).

    1. That’s funny – I’m the exact opposite. I’ve used lots of bath and body products and no hair. Frankly, I just don’t think they can make a bad product!

  6. These are REALLY nice quality bath products. I’ve gotten my share of body wash/lotion gift sets in the past, but this MB set is by far one of the best in terms of quality and fragrance. Both the Relaxing Yuan Zhi and the Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod are awesome but if I HAD to choose one I would say the Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod is the hands down winner. It is such an unusual scent and my husband also commented on how good it smelled. Neither scent is overtly “feminine” which is nice because sometimes overly cloying lotions and body washes get a little tiresome.
