Before this hand wash was available to order online, I know people who used to drive to Canada, just to get it! The Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash is not just a hand soap—it’s a luxurious, sensory experience that elevates the mundane act of washing your hands into a moment of indulgence. This cult-favorite product has earned its reputation for being both effective and indulgent, and here’s why it’s worth the hype:

1. Exfoliation Meets Cleansing

Unlike traditional hand soaps, the Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash is formulated with finely milled pumice, which provides gentle exfoliation while cleansing. This formula ensures that your hands are not only clean but also smooth and refreshed after every wash. The exfoliating properties are perfect for removing dead skin cells, leaving your hands feeling soft and rejuvenated. Despite the pumice, it's still great to use all throughout the day!

2. Botanical Ingredients that aren't drying

This hand wash is infused with botanical extracts that not only cleanse but also nourish the skin. The carefully selected ingredients work together to maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance, ensuring that your hands don’t feel stripped or dry after use. The inclusion of these botanicals also contributes to the product’s signature earthy and aromatic scent.

3. A Luxurious Fragrance

The scent of the Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash is a standout feature. It combines woody, smoky, and slightly citrusy notes, creating a fragrance that feels sophisticated and calming. I think it's addictive, it's that good. This makes it more than just a hand wash—it’s an olfactory experience that lingers subtly on your skin, making every wash feel like a treat. While the scent does hang around awhile after wash, it's not too perfume-y either. It will have you sniffing your hands later lol!

5. Aesthetic Appeal

Let’s not forget the packaging. Aesop is known for its minimalist, apothecary-style bottles that look stunning on any countertop. The sleek design of the Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash bottle adds a touch of elegance to your bathroom or kitchen, making it as much a decor piece as it is a functional product. I have even been to restaurants where they reuse the bottles and refill them with regular soap!


Why You’ll Love It

If you can rationalize spending $40+ on hand soap (or if you happen to receive it as a gift), the Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash is a must-have! It does actually last quite a while too.

It’s more than just a soap—it’s a skincare product for your hands, a sensory delight, and something pretty to look at in your home. Whether you’re gifting it to a loved one or treating yourself, this hand wash is sure to impress.
