🤣 I love the emotional struggle he expresses, he is all of us. I use about half a pump and it’s enough, and enjoy the luscious, luscious washing. It truly is a mini moment of mindfulness.
@@jollofforbreakfast Good question. I think I bought it in December and I have a little more than 1/3 right now. I anticipate it would last about 6 months. It’s in my master bath and I use a little in the morning and at night. Maybe a bit more on the weekends.
@@uhcoogie5775 Awesome! To clarify- you believe the 1/3 will last 6 months? So the entire bottle would last longer than that (ie 18 months)? Or are you saying a full bottle lasts 6 months?
Hi Mark. Yes agree. $40 (£27) is soo expensive and this has been much hyped & has spawned many imitators with the same type of bottle. However, I got fed up with my Pound Shop (Dollar Tree) anti bac hand soap destroying my hands. So I caved today. It smells gorgeous & left my hands noticeably fresh, clean & subtly scented. It looks fabulous in my bathroom, making it look like a boutique hotel. So is it worth it? I say, yes!
It gives you joy. It gives zing. It doesn’t sound you have any regrets if you use this soap. You might even regret not buying it. Well done on living life to the fullest.
You should fill your life with what you love! If you’re using it and you’re really enjoying the simple process of washing your hands, I find that quite grounding. For that alone, you can justify the price tag
I totally agree with your video. I just splurged on this item, hand balm and Parsley Seed Cleanser. I've been eyeing them for YEARS but never bought it because I couldn't afford it, now that I'm earning a bit more I said why not, just this once! Plus I don't have kids, haha, so why not?! Their packaging is crazy aesthetically pleasing though.
😂 I hope my laughter will make you laugh as well. I am not new to easop products so I know how pricy this items are . Also I am also not even half rich, bit I still manage to buy a couple things from there skin line. , love the review and honesty. Now I want this $40 hand wash experience even more that I don't need 😊 but why not YOLO 🙏💯
I just bought a body balm because I love the nutty sandalwood scent in it. Quite expensive and there are lower cost products which can deliver the same or even better effect but I just dig the scent and aesthetics. It's all my psychological drug.
Love your personality! Totally subscribed. Btw I think that if there is something, as you said “mundane”, as simple as a hand soap that brings you joy, totally go for it. I find soap usually lasts a while anyway. Life is too short to not enjoy the little things such as washing our hands. Plus I find that when you enjoy soap so much you spend a little longer scrubbing....which we def need to do these days.
I only brought Aesop for the bottles, I will most likely refill with cheaper but similar products. The design is stunning and makes me happy looking at them in my interior haha
I buy this and it lasts me a year or so. It's in my en suite bathroom, so only I use it. The one with the pummice stones in is the best. I agree with you that it's a nice-to-have, but if you're going to select specific Aesop items to buy, this would be at the top. I also had a hand lotion that I loved. I even got the Poo Drops and they work. Haha
Finally someone said it! I didn't know I can LOVE a hand wash until I used this one at a nice restaurant in Tokyo. Now I am constantly trying out other ridiculous $30+ hand wash(thanks to IG ads). It's definitely something that you really like but somehow feel ashamed to tell others. 😂
We are paying for the look, the amazing smell and the bougie experience for $40.... and like what you said the memory😊 I enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing
Everybody who finds out how much I spend on soap thinks I am crazy, but I must say that I love paying a premium for high quality functional basics like soap. I mean how often do you wash your hands? I guess at least 5-6 times a day while being at home. If just $40 can make every time a little experience for a couple of months, this is money well spent.
Oh man, I remember loving their Tacit fragrance when I was in the shop, but no long term experience yet. Now some of their other products, I do have a lot of experience so definitely expect a couple more reviews eventually :)
@@donnaprincipal1114 Whole Elise is a TH-cam channel that has a video where she makes it herself. I love her channel. th-cam.com/video/FiriLkStGpI/w-d-xo.html
What i do is i buy cheap soap and place them next to these and only use them when I feel fancy. But when i have friends over I just hide them outright lol
Cost isn't merely a function of utility. For Aesop (and other similarly premium products) consider the following: Is Aesop using authentic aromatic materials (natural isolates, essential oils, absolutes, c02 extractions, etc.) or are they using synthetic materials? How much is a real essential oil compared to a synthetic variant? Beyond the price of the good itself, what is the process for obtaining a high quality natural aromatic material, vs its synthetic equivalent? How much time, money and resourcing did it take for Aesop et al to become specialized in using these materials thereby creating a core competency? How much does it cost to retain these skilled resources who make these products for Aesop? Is there competition for said resources which creates a premium? I'm doing research on this segment, and I'm truly perplexed at how today's consumers are completely lost on the material cost of goods and their role in creating IP worth buying. I'm no huge fan, but one walks into a luxury hotel, uses an Aesop product and all of a sudden, it's impossible to forget this luxury hotel, which somehow helps justifies its cost, along with other variables, which create an immediate association to my time at the luxury hotel, which is then forever etched in my mind as a pleasurable experience that I need to do again, and again, and maybe for the rest of my life if I can afford it. How much does this effect impact cost? Well, IMO Aesop is underpriced, all things considered. I hope their margins are as wide as the red sea.
I recommend you wholeelise she made a dupe of aesop resurrection cost is 6$ only with a same scent and much milder surfactant used but she used sodium lurayt sulfate too but she said sodium lurayt sulfate is harsh and irratable on skin
Nothing worth having comes easy I guess.. 🥺 Who am I kidding $40 is insane but I bought it and I’m ashamed. I stayed in a snazzy Air B&B and they had this for all the products and yeah, I bought em.
I haven't done extensive research on this but I'd imagine it's a bit of both (honestly probably a higher weight on the second point where it's branding, marketing, r&d, etc.)
@@MarkKwak LOVE. Like you, I'm obsessed with it but such a hard game to justify $45 bones for a body wash but the scent is just on another level (I purchased the Geranium). Would def recommend but feel a little guilty doing so..haha!
@@MarkKwak just recently used their body cleansing citrus 🍊 melange and I was surprised by how a little press of gel can super-foamed and the scent can last all day long. You have to try it to understand. It’s not anything you have already experienced. To conclude I think used reasonably It can last two month and half. At this price tag and the experience it fulfills it’s also great. Fragrance side, Eidesis eau de parfum and Miraceti eau de parfum, reign supreme. At this point I have gone insane and just talking to myself 😂
I went into Aesop and spent 300£ on shower/shampoo/hand soap/ moisturiser etc.. altogether 6 products. I did this because I just bought a new lux apartment and I believe it’s fitting. Love the product and I stand by design and productivity at its best. I’m a graphic designer and chef so I understand the price tag. I wish it was less but you have to pay to play for quality. The product speaks for itself. If you have the money, buy. If you can’t and need to second check your pockets then stay away. Like all things high end. I’m not rich by all means, but I’ve worked hard for it and I’ve had enough of saying no. Treat yourself! I did contradict myself in this post, fuck it! 😂
Thanks so much! Ah, haven't been active on Instagram so not really unfortunately. That being said - I'm definitely thinking of starting it back up so will update this comment if I do. Thanks for the interest!
Perhaps this Kwak also developed insomnia too as other Kwaks did after deliberately trying to make envied colleagues eat after 10PM from karma lol or did some angered other colleague created insomnia with manipulated psychiatric meds too by bribed South Korean Asian psychiatrists? Lol and puke they had been hated by brands more when they buy or own them as people need to avoid jinx Kwaks quacks Amys so hated never envied lol perhaps this Kwak too has a day revolving around thinking about food

Guilty as charge, i bought it only to make my bathroom look nicer. Lol!
Aesop reminded me what good design looks like!
I treat it like an expensive gym membership, their stuff also works on my skin which is difficult!
You spoke my mind! It’s a dilemma that consumes us. Too expensive, too delicious. It’s hard.
I buy this soap once a year and when it runs out I just get cheap soap 😂
Definitely not a bad strategy :)
ugh same! But you can def stretch it out to a year which is good news :)
@@sophiaottley7203 howwww
I LOVE this review so much. You have expressed my inner thoughts so perfectly whenever I walk into an Aesop store.

Thank you! Yeah definitely, I'm with you on this type of mentality hence my wallet getting lighter for this. Life's too short :)
I purchased it and love it. Makes me feel good. wash my hands so much in covid that I think it's worth it. I got the hand balm as well.
Hand balm next for me...
I tried this at sightglass coffee and fell in love. The smell is so soothing
Yeah, it's a dangerous thing isn't it?
I only brought Aesop for the bottles, I will most likely refill with cheaper but similar products. The design is stunning and makes me happy looking at them in my interior haha
The quality of their products is amazing though
A bit late to the party, but Element Brooklyn has a dupe for this (mandarin hand soap refill) you should try out at a much reduced price.
i saw some many beauty bloggers recommend this product... but you are the one sold me on this 😂 😂 😂
Love it, glad I could help!
Me, watching this after experiencing Aesop soap for the first time at a fancy SF restaurant 👀
I just bought this too. First time visiting an Aesop store and I left the store w/ my wallet a bit thinner. But I do love the product and the smell.
I'm right there with you!

Hello from New York great honest review I just also heard that L’Oreal is buying Aesop?

great review.! 😂 i super love aesop.! and btw i love the design of your house looks cozy and neat and your aesop hand wash blends in your house 😝 👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words :)
I woud say yes, it is worth it. Have you tried Aesop's fragrances yet? Would love to see you do more videos about their other products :)
Oh man, I remember loving their Tacit fragrance when I was in the shop, but no long term experience yet. Now some of their other products, I do have a lot of experience so definitely expect a couple more reviews eventually :)
It’s one of my favorite things too! Buy it for yourself!
Love your Living space, looks really cozy !
I recently saw a video of a lady recreating it and her total was about $6. Maybe you could try that and save a lot more in the long run.
Can you link me pleaseee

Its on the way!excited to see it on my counter lol
Enjoy in good health!
Same bro. Same. I got the travel sizes so I wouldn't feel too bad about buying stuff from Aesop. Still makes me want to get the full size. T___T
Try the Reverence one.. it has got tiny exfoliant and smells amazing (earthy and woody)
Lovely as well - though a better change of pace soap than the Resurrection in my opinion

Perfect review. Product is amazing, but not worth it, but I keep buying it.
The Apple of skincare
Great take on it. I felt the same way seeing it at restaurants 😂
it’s true it makes a mundane task extra special hahahaha
Completely agree lol
Love love love aesop!
Just so you know, it’s pronounced e-sop. The “a” is silent. :)
Ahh been saying it wrong all along… thanks!
Who's here from you-know-where?
Awesome channel and aesthetic man!
Its expensive but it’s honestly lasted a good year on my counter. You don’t need much to get a good amount of suds.
Definitely agreed
I recommend you wholeelise she made a dupe of aesop resurrection cost is 6$ only with a same scent and much milder surfactant used but she used sodium lurayt sulfate too but she said sodium lurayt sulfate is harsh and irratable on skin
38 dollars for the bottle, 2 dollars for the soap..
Dude! I love this guy! Subbed!!
Hah thanks my man!
Nothing worth having comes easy I guess.. 🥺
Who am I kidding $40 is insane but I bought it and I’m ashamed. I stayed in a snazzy Air B&B and they had this for all the products and yeah, I bought em.
i leave this out for the guests to impress them he he
Would there be anything in the ingredients that drive the cost up or does it appear that the company caters to a higher class shopper?
I haven't done extensive research on this but I'd imagine it's a bit of both (honestly probably a higher weight on the second point where it's branding, marketing, r&d, etc.)

I live in the basement and still buy the hand wash because it's smells great 😂
like your honesty . im the same way
Who's here because of D'Angelo?
Not sure who this is, but I love this dude already.
But their packaging is like those extra virgin coconut oil on the shelves....pure glass.
Also it ruins you and you get disappointed whenever you go somewhere that has regular soap and not a luxury one like Aesop or le Labo lol
I use this product to wash my Rolex.............I think it's worth it now..............LOL......
these products are not for people who think 40$ is a lot of money. Quite the opposite!
They have lost my support for selling out to Loreal and frankly $75 for an air freshener lol rediculous. And btw the soap retails for $50 now
I work at aesop and the Reverence soap is better I think.
^it exfoliets too

malin goetz hand wash is a close second for me
Used to own the Rum handwash and was definitely a fan, though doesn't take the cake like Aesop for me.
Is it worth it? Let me work it. Put my thing down, flip it and reverse it.
No. It's over priced. It smells great but for the i can find something comparable for 1/3 price
Is the bottle glass or plastic? For that price it better be glass! Lol
Why would some evil=worthless strangers bully some indifferent innocent stranger artist woman? I HATE EVIL ENVIOUS CREEPS.
