Looking for a nice perfumed liquid soap/handwash that doesn't smell cheap and yet is not dear! If there such a thing! {smile}

I use Baylis & Harding. £2.25 for 500ml in Sainsburys but most supermarkets sell it. It doesn't make your hands dry and they have a lovely range of fragrances.

I agree, and some pretty containers too 👍🏻

'Next' do a lovely scented one in a pink container. It's called 'Just Pink' and smells lovely. It's £6 I think. Lasts for ages.

Yes thats lovely. The perfume is nice too.

I think you very much get what you pay for, especially if you want the scent to last - Aesop is lovely but pricey, Scottish Fine Soaps (?) Sea Kelp also lovely and considerably cheaper.

We are fans of Aesop too and always add it to ‘gift lists’ for Xmas etc. It is expensive but bottle has 500 ml and it is so concentrated that you need very little. And the smell really lasts.

and I love the Lavender one. Such a big bottle for the price -it lasts for ages and the fragrance remains true to the end.

I've started using Lidl's Cien dupe of the Molton Brown handwashes. My husband bought for himself the Aromatic Handwash which is lovely, although he actually didn't like it so I used it instead. They're not expensive and smell amazing.

I was going to suggest the Lidl ones. I love the Ginger Lily one.

oops - attached it to the wrong post so here I go again

Another vote for Lidl the bergamot and orange smells lovely

L’Occitane handwash for me, refilled from their recycled pouches. I like the lavender in bathrooms and citrus is the kitchen.

Alteya Rose or Faith in Nature - both organic. As we probably wash our hands more often than anywhere else on our bodies it's important to me not to put chemicals on them. An organic soap that's not full of stuff that makes it foam, preserves its life or gives it an unnatural colour is the answer.

Since I downloaded the Yuka app, I zap the bar codes of all soaps, shampoos and conditioners before I buy. It tells you, going on their ingredients, what's Excellent, Good, Poor or Bad. A real eye opener.

So many fabulous ideas. I might go bankrupt on handwash now.

Scottish Fine Soaps, could be found cheaper at TK Maxx, possibly.
