POTW – Molton Brown Orange & Bergamot Room Fragrance €28 for 100ml

I really should be awarding this Product of the Year because it has literally made my 2015 and transported me back into a little piece of my history.  Although I can't remember which segment of the past this is; I’ve moved house 10 times since I’ve been married (13 years this month) and I can’t remember which house I lived in (or even which country) in which I salubriously squirted my bedrooms but in any case, I have very fond memories of it so I was ecstatically enthused when I realised that the department store I was working in, back in the new year, stocked Molton Brown and I would get staff discount.

I wandered across the shop floor to the Molton Brown stand in the hope that they would still do the room fragrance that sent me giddy with joy.  I couldn’t remember what the fragrance was called but I was confident that I would know the scent as soon as I smelt it.  Hurrah!  I found it.  The name has changed and it is now called Orange & Bergamot and I was suddenly transported back in time so strongly that I just couldn’t stop smiling and I’ve been smiling ever since. 

I normally like to squirt it across my side of the duvet and pillows just before climbing into bed (thank goodness the hubbie doesn’t seem to mind.  Well, one night he did mind, when I accidentally sprayed him in the face as well as the pillows.  Note to self, spray in an empty bed).  The box does say to avoid contact with the face and fabric but I’ll just avoid a face as the fabric of my duvet covers and pillowcases haven't been ruined by the constant fragrance (my bedding isn't expensive due to my little house bunny running around on it sometimes and I wouldn’t want her to ruin pricey fabrics).



The sultry fragrance comprises of bergamot, mandarin and oranges from Seville.  As well as lemon, ginger, orange flowers and musk.  I need to find a perfume like this for me as it really does comprise all the aromas I love.


As you can see from the photo, I am half way through the bottle and I bought this February so it is lasting pretty well with regards to the price of it (those Glade plug-ins aren’t cheap, you know) and I spray it every day avoiding hubbie and the bunny and we're all smiling.
