Molton Brown Comice Pear & Wild Honey 300ml Fine Liquid Hand Wash $49
Smells as warmly inviting as biting into the sun-ripened fruit. A limited edition seasonal temptation from the English maker, along with deliciously tart Rhubarb & Rose or charmingly traditional Violet & Vanilla fragrances. Also in lotions and trio gift sets. From Smith & Caughey's stores.
MOR Bohemienne 500ml Hand & Body Wash $35
A fresh and fruity new fragrance called Bohemiene joins the smart-looking Emporium Classic range. It combines goji berry extract and coconut oil in a wash and lotion. Healthy food fans rate goji as a superfood, but we like that this fruit-come-herb has a zingy aroma that melds well with the richness of coconut.
