What's the best liquid hand soap?!

[Flingmoo]

Wasn't sure if this comes under S&B or housekeeping but what's the best liquid hand soap?!

I'm basing this on 2 main factors, smell and poshness of the bottle Basically, what smells nice AND looks nice on your bathroom sink.

(Have tried decanting into a dispenser and got bored of it after a year or two so now I'm just interested in ones that already come in a nice bottle...)

I really like Pears, it's not posh of course but it's a classic and smells nice.
I have the bar in the bathroom and the liquid in the kitchen, they smell different.

Molton Brown Rhubarb and Rose

Well it kind of depends what smells you like and how much you want to spend!

TK Maxx do hundreds of posh-looking hand soaps from about £3.99, that's where I'd try first! Just sniff them all until you find a bottle and scent you like.

Method pink grapefruit

Method - I like sweet water and the foaming version is really soft on your skin.

When I lived in Paris there was an amazing rose hand wash that I used - it was so good my non-French speaking friend apologised that she thought she had used the wrong bottle because it was so nice

Aldi version of Molton Brown.

I like method for my kitchen sink and Espa or Elemis for the bathroom, Espas hand washes are the nicest by far and i have tried them all. Pricey, but they last months.

"Poshness of bottle" definitely TK Maxx. Lots of lovely apothecary looking bottles with French labels. I might have bought one or 10 too many.

Noble Isle. Outrageously expensive though.

I generally get method. They smell nice, they don't dry out your skin and I like the look of the bottle. I do have some Waitrose own soap on the go at The moment too, that is also very nice.

If your budget is higher Neals Yard make a lovely hand soap

White Company Verveine hand and nail set (hand wash and hand cream) or Jo Malone.

Neals yard orange and geranium hand wash. Heavenly!

For me, none of them. Either the smell bothers me, or they irritate my skin.

Same as PickAChew. I buy whichever unperfumed one is on special offer.

Jo Malone or Molton Brown can't be be beaten on smell!

Ladyp, i think Espa has the edge on these for quality and fragrance now.

Method or Waitrose own brand here, generally.

Came on to say Dr Bronner's as I bloody love that stuff, but the bottles are more WTF than posh

Homesense always has a great selection. I like Molton Brown, L'Occitane, and Liz Earle. Also Pears as someone mentioned, Original Source & the Waitrose Essentials ones.

My preferred hand soap is l'occitane verbena, you can get refills too if you are eco conscious? I like neals yard too but worry about glass bottles on tiled floors as have clumsy husband and dc!

I watched a programme just before Christmas where they did a blind test with handwashes - Molton Brown actually came last! I like the Neals Yard but do worry about it falling into the basin...

I use radox or the carex sweetie scented ones

The Radox grapefruit one is great too

Head to TK Maxx - lots of really lovely unusual brands

We're currently using a particularly fabulous lavender, thyme and rosemary concentrated handwash by Om She in a huge 500ml bottle in our kitchen - a mere £3.99. Will last us months!

Second TKMaxx, I had lots of visitors over Xmas so wanted nice soaps and shower gels available, got some lovely Pecksniffs liquid soap that will last months after impressing my guests!
