Molton Brown's latest collection: Vetiver & Grapefruit. "The warm sophistication of Haitian vetiver conflicts with the cool, tonic freshness of grapefruit, resulting in a tense union… vetiver oil reveals subtle grapefruit undertones - just enough to relieve this tension and convey a sense of effortless elegance." Available in Bath & Shower Gel, Body Lotion and Deodorant spray.
