Molton Brown has launched Bluebell & Wild Strawberry, a new fragrance collection.
The crush of leaves underfoot and ripening wild strawberry arresting the air: spring’s arrival is a quiet, sensuous assault. A time when Senior Perfumer Véronique Nyberg feels grounded, energised by walks in nature, gardening and memories of Alpine bluebells. Subtly scented, the bluebell is rather a state of mind, planted at this fragrance’s heart and intertwined with wild strawberry, earthy violet leaf, warm amber accord and soft driftwood. This is a modern floral-fruity fragrance, a stride into the forest when the shoots are new and the bluebell reigns supreme. Let’s walk.
“It all started in the countryside. I wanted to have a very contrasted fragrance to highlight the energy and the feeling I had in the forest. This vivid colour of all those little flowers on the green carpet of the forest is amazing. Spring is the right moment.” — Veronique Nyberg, Senior Perfumer
Molton Brown Bluebell & Wild Strawberry can currently be found only in gift sets in the UK, in 7.5 or 100 ml Eau de Parfum plus body products. It will officially launch next month, at which time there might be an Eau de Toilette version as well.

A strawberry note always gets my hopeful attention – I’d love to try it. Maybe I’ll see it while traveling or, eventually, on FragranceNet, which has a big selection of MB’s offerings.
Hope this one will be the ticket then!
