This Mini-Luxury Home Splurge Will Make You Happy Every, Single Day

by The Candidly Team



Ok, maybe not happy. But…happier. Every day. 

And instead of making you scroll for miles to find out what it is, we’ll just be nice and tell you now. 

It’s hand wash. 

It’s so hard to justify it. But when you think about it, even the priciest ones whittle down to about a PENNY per pump. A penny! And yet all of us are being “sensible” and buying had soap at target when we could be having a near-erotic olfactory experience every single time we wash our hands?

It doesn’t make sense. It’s a luxury that is capable of creating such an enormous thrill, not to mention that it’s a USEFUL product, not just some mindless objet d’art that we plunk down on a bookcase and never think of again.

And yet our bathrooms and kitchens have the most hideous bottles of supermarket soap known to man. 

Again, it’s a penny per use. Our hands are worth more. WE, are worth more. 

Here are the 5 most beautiful, best smelling, best feeling hand washes on planet earth. And Aesop is nowhere to be found…

 

1. Best overall

Le Labo Jumbo Hinoki Hand Soap

Just get this. Don’t even read the rest. It’s almost…ashy? But green. But fresh. But warm. We don’t know. It’s perfect and you need to experience it. 

Price: $46

 

 
 

Freshest, subtlest scent 

Kiehl’s Grapefruit Liquid Hand Soap

Gorgeously bright and fresh, we’re sure this is the soap on Nancy Meyers’ sink. And a big pouch to refill it!

Price: $20

 

 
 

3. Most iconic scent

Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Body & Hand Wash

If you know, you know. 

Price: $32

 

 
 
 
 
 

4. Most long-lasting scent 

Homecourt Neroli Leaf Hand Wash

This is Monica Gellar’s line of home products! Oops, we mean Courtney Cox. But how genius that CC created a line of cleaning products. And how exciting that they’re all actually good. This one’s our favorite by far. And we have the matching DISH SOAP because why wouldn’t we. 

Price: $32

 

 
 

5. Most spa-like 

Molton Brown Orange & Bergamot Fine Liquid Hand Wash

The reviews say it best. 

Price: $32

 

 
 

6. Best “clean” hand wash (you get it)

Youth To The People Superfood Antioxidant Hand Wash with Kale + Green Tea

If you won’t do a single not-clean ingredient, this is hands-down the best. And the smell is haunting!

Price: $39
