The National Trust's new toiletries collection

The National Trust, the iconic national guardian of coastline, countryside and 350 historic houses and gardens has over 4 million members, 55,000 volunteers and 64 million visits a year.

The new toiletries collection captures the essence of the evocative and naturally beautiful landscapes in the Trust’s care and is made in England using fragrance extracts from British fruits, flowers and plants. Featuring four distinct fragrances, the range embodies the spirit of some of most spectacular natural beauty from the coast, countryside, gardens and woodland. 

Each line features a unique design created by British artist Claire Curtis for refreshing, striking packaging that has universal appeal. The collections each include an Eau de Toilette, a Hand & Body Wash, a Hand & Body Lotion, a Soap and a Candle.   

National Trust Coast – Rock Samphire and Driftwood reflects the stunning setting of Holnicote Estate in Somerset, with its spectacular coastline and panoramic views from some of the most dramatic cliffs in England. RockSamphire grows on the shingle beach which sweeps around Porlock Bay. Its fleshy, aromatic leaves deliver an invigorating aroma with a spicy kick that encapsulates the fresh sea air and rugged coastal beauty. Driftwood creates a full scent that adds depth and blends with refreshing Rock Samphire to produce a richly aromatic fragrance.   

National Trust Countryside – Cowslip and Meadowsweet is inspired by the unique setting of the Golden Cap Estate in Dorset. The traditional hay meadows on the estate are filled with fragrant wild flowers and are amongst the most precious natural landscapes in the care of the National Trust. Cowslips mark the arrival of spring; their bright yellow flowers add a flash of colour to the scenery. Their fresh, clean scent is delightfully uplifting and perfectly complements Meadowsweet, a member of the rose family with a strong, sweet scent, renowned for its medicinal properties.  

National Trust Woodland – Beechwood and Bramble, is inspired by the Ashridge Estate in Hertfordshire with its beautiful, sprawling two thousand acres of ancient woodland forest. This scent is infused with the musky notes of Beechwood, which conjures up a strong and rich fragrance. The prickly sweetness of Bramble works in tandem, creating a blend that truly captures the essence of the forest.

National Trust Garden – Wild Rose and Camomile is inspired by the internationally renowned garden at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent; developed by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson within the surviving boundaries of an Elizabethan manor. Fragrant Wild Rose and Camomile merge to create a heavenly floral paradise and a delicately blended, romantic scent.
