Basil Hand Lotion & Hand Soap Set

I had to return this. The smell is over-powering . . . like a rotting lime grove. I never did pick up any notes of 'basil' as advertised. It was a cloying smell too -- one you could not get rid of no matter how many times you washed your hands in something else. It was also very drying. And in a teeny tiny bottle thus WAY over-priced. Give it a miss!

I purchased this as a gift for my manager who enjoys luxury hand lotions. When gifted we noticed that it was clear and sticky like soap. After much confusion, we realized that the bottle that we purchased was in fact filled with soap and not lotion. I reached out to their customer service team about exchanging it but haven't heard from them in over 48 hours. I'm extremely disappointed in the poor quality control because it was so embarrassing. Imagine us in his office with sticky soap in our hands trying to apply it like lotion :( Can someone reach out to me to fix this?

This soap has a bright clean distinctively Le Labo fragrance that is great. Your hands are actually fragranced when you finish using this so you get to enjoy the smell beyond your hand washing session. I use this in the kitchen and I think is absolutely fantastic for tough smells like garlic. Definitely has citrus characteristics but in a sweet way, not sour like bergamot.

Le Labo’s hand soap has been a staple in my home for 2 years now - tried it at an upscale restaurant next to Nordy’s a few years ago and immediately went to purchase. Makes washing hands a joy. Have it in basil and hinoki, side by side so depending on the day (mood / season, whatever) I pick and choose. Love giving this as a gift. This moisturizes, cleans, and smells fantastic.
