The Brits are invading Beirut, in style. After the royal arrival of Vivienne Westwood and Burberry of London, now Molton Brown hits the shelves, exclusively stocked at Downtown’s latest beauty store, Faces. Starting life as a small boutique in London’s Mayfair, the brand offered a natural alternative to the 1970’s synthetic trends. Classic packaging, seductive fragrances and ingredients sourced from around the world are Molton Brown’s trademark, making no stylish bathroom complete without a silver-capped hand wash or shower gel. For gentlemen who appreciate fine grooming, we recommend their recently re-launched men’s range (Silverbirch, Buchu and Cassia are just a few scents available). Try their spicy Re-charge Black Pepper kit, including bodywash, bodyscrub bar and body hydrator. Each is steeped in Madagascan black peppercorn oil (amongst other things) that works to invigorate the skin - and will surely satisfy the most macho nostrils.
