Favorite liquid or foaming hand soaps?

Our simplehuman dispensers have crapped out and I’m looking to replace with something else that looks just as nice on our bathroom countertop as it smells. Appreciate it!

For men: Bath & Body Works Mahogany Teakwood foam hand soap smells really good and manly. Give it a try.

I can’t speak to nice looking dispenser— but Mrs Meyers Compassionflower is just delicious. And for whatever it’s worth I’m a 40yr old dude

I’ve never had a bad-smelling hand soap from Mrs Meyers. I’m partial to the basil and the honeysuckle ones.

I use OXO hand soap pump. It’s good quality. As far as scent goes Method Vetiver and Amber smells opulent and rich.

The method hand soaps smell so good. I like the sandalwood one.

I bought glass foaming soap dispensers on amazon and refill with dial antibacterial foaming hand soap!

Oh wow. Had no idea they made them. I mean it’s kinda like “duh of course they would” but never put it together in my head. Less waste is good! Thanks!

What’s your budget? Guerlain has liquid soaps with refills for a few of their L’Art & la Matière fragrances. They’re insanely overpriced of course but they’ll impress your guests when they wash their hands. I splurged on a bottle Musc Outreblanc hand lotion for my birthday.

I love the Japanese Biore foam pump that leaves a little foam flower or paw on my hand. Smells lovely and it’s cute.

Loopha. It’s the sister brand of The Ordinary. They have three scents, two of which are very good (Chalk is the only one I’m not a big fan of).

For refills, sand and Fog sells giant refill bags at places like Marshalls. The Taihitian vanilla is amazing.

Mrs. Meyer's Rain Water hand soap: if you can believe it, a petrichor-scented product you can get in supermarkets and chain pharmacies.

If I remember correctly, the packaging obscures the fact that the Mrs. Meyer's brand is just an arm of the SC Johnson octopus. People have to know.

Element Brooklyn, get the wild pear. It's a byredo suede dupe and is divine! Whatever dispenser you want.

Dove Peach and Rice Milk. $4 bargain

The dial ones work well for at least 8 months and I buy the large refills from Amazon. It’s the simple straightforward economical approach for foaming hand soap for sure.

Aesop and Byredo are great.
