Molton Brown isn't a brand I regularly shop for. But I can't deny the pull when you walk past one of their stores and smell some of their amazing products. It's the aroma of luxury and elegance.
Apart from handwash, I've not tried any of their products, so when the 2024 Molton Brown Advent Calendar landed on my doorstep, I couldn't wait to delve inside. The Molton Brown Advent Calendar 2024 costs £225 and is available from Molton Brown's website directly , or LookFantastic and John Lewis . Inside there's 24 luxury products - ranging from bodycare and fragrances worth around £313.

Beauty Advent Calendars 2024 Reviews Boots 12 Days of Luxury Next 25 Days of Beauty Marks & Spencer No7 25 Days Beauty Secrets It arrived in a dark brown Molton Brown bag - but inside was where the surprises really started. The packaging is completely luxurious - and one of the nicest I've seen out of the beauty advent calendars on the market this year.
The stunning golden marble box, finished with a gold plaque and ribbon. Inside you'll find 24 numbered drawers packed full of products. I won't immediately tell you the entire contents, so if you're keen to know what's inside keep scrolling - as I've included a huge list.
I managed to pick five (or six) favourites from the Molton Brown Advent Calendar too, which you can find below. The advent calendar costs £225 and the contents is worth around £313 (Image: Dayna Farrington) My first favourite was the Sunlit Clementine and Vetiver Bath and Shower Gel . This smelt amazing.
It is such a refreshing scent with the citrus layers. It is one of those shower gels that will be perfect to perk you up on a cold winter morning. Second was the Marvellous Mandarin and Spice Festive Bauble .
First off, how cute is the bauble bottle? The shimmer and the scent immediately drew me in. It's like Christmas in a bottle/bauble. It's a warm and spicy scent which I'll be popping in my shower in the weeks up to Christmas.
There were two other festive baubles included in the calendar, but disappointingly they both arrived broken with the loop on the lid snapped and the string not attached. It won't affect the products themselves, but was still slightly disappointing. Third in my top five was the Fiery Pink Pepper Body Lotion .
The Fiery Pink Pepper scent is always one of my favourites in Molton Brown - and I always head straight for that one. I find it quite a simple, fresh and woody scent - with the added spice. I've heard the body lotions from Molton Brown are really good too - so I'm excited to give it a try.
My five (or six) favourite products from inside the Molton Brown Advent Calendar (Image: Dayna Farrington) Next up is the Delicious Rhubarb and Rose Eau De Toilette Travel Case Refill . There's six fragrance refills in the calendar - but this was my favourite. There's also the Fragrance Travel Case to store them in - which is great as it won't get lost in your handbag.
I'm always a big fan of the rhubarb scent - so this was immediately a win win for me. There's also hints of grapefruit and vanilla too. I was surprised how long it lasted too.
And lastly, two products - which really, I think you can team as one. The Purifying Shampoo With Indian Cress and the Purifying Conditioner With Indian Cress . When I think of Molton Brown, hair products don't come to the forefront of my mind - so I was shocked to see them included.
The scent was beautiful and quite delicate. When I first used them it felt like a spa treatment - my hair felt refreshed and nourished. And you couldn't deny the silky shine.
Beauty Advent Calendars 2024 Reviews Part 2 Molton Brown Glossybox 2024 I couldn't believe the contents inside the Molton Brown Advent Calendar , I was completely blown away. There's such a range of products - and some new items I didn't even know the brand sold. Compared to other advent calendars on the market though, there is quite a high price point however, which as a buyer I would be put off by.
Yes Molton Brown has packed the advent calendar with some amazing products from shower gel to body lotion, hand wash to a candle but it's a lot of money and a real expensive treat for yourself or a loved one. I guess you could also break it down to use as stocking fillers for friends and family this Christmas though.
