(MALIN+GOETZ) earns strong reviews for distinctive, sophisticated scents and solid bath-and-body staples, while mixed feedback questions skincare efficacy and certain fragrance longevity. Reviews highlight standout Dark Rum, Bergamot, and Leather across soaps, lotions, candles, and perfumes, yet note some products feel “meh,” a deodorant that’s gentle but not very strong for heavy sweaters, and confusion over “oil-free” labeling on Vitamin B5 moisturizer containing mineral oil.

I first discovered Malin+Goetz while staying at a boutique hotel, where their Rum Hand + Body Wash was in the shower. I loved it so much I went home and ordered the full-size bottle. The scent is clean, warm, and a little sweet-spicy. It’s really unique. It’s one of those everyday products that feels quietly luxurious. I also tried the Fragrance Discovery Kit, which was such a fun way to explore the brand. * Bergamot – fresh, citrusy, and perfect for spring/summer. A favorite for me. * Cannabis – really well done but leans more masculine on me. I’d love this as a candle or home scent. * Dark Rum – sweet and addictive. I couldn’t stop smelling it, though it might be better for home than wearing. * Leather – warm, nostalgic, and perfect for fall. Another great home scent. * Strawberry – fresh, modern, and not too sweet. Easy and wearable. * Vetiver – clean, earthy, and interesting, with cardamom notes I really enjoy. One thing I love about fragrance is how personal it is. The scents always smell different depending on the person and the season. That’s why I’m a big fan of discovery kits and why this one really worked for me. Overall, a great mix of unique scents, thoughtfully curated and a joy to use. Looking forward to trying Malin+Goetz’s other products, including their candles!

I have bad ingrown hairs on my neck and needed a face cleanser that was soft, great for sensitive skin and could help me keep my neck and face clean. Ever since I found this face cleanser, I've been addicted to it. I refuse to try any other brand because this one is perfect for me. It's not marketed for ingrowns or for men with coarse, curly hair - but damn, it does the trick for me!
Sweet but fresh, with a realistic strawberry scent that doesn’t feel too young or artificial. It’s light enough for daytime but has a nice warmth as it settles. Unexpectedly chic and not overpowering. It's a great summer scent

The scents feel sophisticated and the minimalist packaging looks perfect in my home. In larger rooms the fragrance does not always fill the space but I like the understated quality. I got their candles, but I heard their other stuff is great too.

I’m obsessed with this line of lotions and hand soaps. The smells will last forever. First discovered this in a high-end restaurant and the one I ended up loving was the rum Hand and body wash. I only keep this in my bathroom because it’s such a nice luxury item.

Malin and Goetz is a top tier brand. Their fragrance, candles, and skin care are all excellent. My favorites include the cannabis candle and grapefruit face wash. The fragrance sampler is a great value and will aid in picking out a favorite full size scent. Their lip balms are decent, but not quite as good as their other offerings.

I have the Cannabis candle from this brand I really love the scent! The moody colour and translucent jar make it super cute to style in any room of my home <3 A little pricey - but one of my favourite candles!

Not only is everything from this brand saturated with lovely not cloying fragrances, the packaging is so special. You really feel like you’re being treated. I’m going to be so sad when this candle burns down. The smaller size washes are great for not so spacious shower storage. The best collab BY FAR is the Braindead Cannabis fragrance. Can’t stop smelling myself when wearing 😅


Overall strong brand, but some products are definitely better than others. I have tried body wash, lotion, hand cream, lip balm, candle, and perfume from this brand. Most products are lovely and I enjoy them but I wouldn’t describe as luxury.

Nothing special. Maybe the styling cream just doesn’t work for my hair texture and length. It’s decent for styling my bangs though. The hand cream is also just okay! Not super thick. Both of these were pretty pricy for what they are, but they do have nice scents, just nothing out of the ordinary to make me shop this brand again.

Went to a sample sale and tried this Mojito scented candle. The smell was minty, sweet, pleasant, and pretty close to a real Mojito. Perfect gift for your Mojito-obsessed friend. Didn't end up buying it though.

This is the first time I have tried one of their products and I am really enjoying their oil. I am 48 going on 49 but my sister who is 4 years younger looks like my older sister. It's also time for me to start sharing with her so she can look like my younger sister again. I love telling people my age because they never believe me. I get anywhere between late 20's to mid 30's because of how I took care of my skin in regards to the sun (lack of or use of protection), very little alcohol and I have never smoked. These products just help even further with natural aging. You can even use this product on men. Who by the way love the smell. It is a lemon citrus scent and very nice. Not strong, just refreshing, and you only need a drop or two. I use mine with my Dermalactives Diamond Face Lifting Therapy Device (Elastin & Collagen Rejuvenation).

I tried the malin+goetz collaboration with Kith lotion and hand soap vapor. Very unique smell. I also bought the fragrance starberry which is why I gave it a 4 out of 5. I dont feel like the Parfums last very long and is pretty pricey so I do recommending going to a department store that let you sample it. Maybe it's just me but it fade pretty quick. The smell is does not smell like strawberry at all but it's refreshing and great for the summer.

Frankincense could last longer

I just received their Dark Rum hand soap/body wash and it smells lovely and left my hands very soft. I'm looking forward to trying more of their products.
I like this brand, I like the branding, but I just feel like the skincare isn't super effective. I've used a few of their products and they all just felt sort of meh to me. I like some of their newer products, but I'm not sure I'm just kind of indifferent!
I have had many candles from them. I love the vessel. I reuse it all the time.

I don't love their personal care products and think they are not worth the price point.
Every product I have tried from M+G I like. Luxurious products and typically worth every penny. Candles are always a hit and make for a great gift.

The Malin+Goetz Eucalyptus Deodorant is a great product for everyday use. Love the smell and the roll-on application is bueno.

The candles and fragrances are amazing. The skincare products are not as great.
I love their Dark Rum perfume, it's so nice and unique and I found the scent lasted for a long time.
