Dont be fooled by the great marketing and social media they have - it comes NOTHING close to any of the Aesop hand soaps, either buy cheaper ones or spend more money as its nothing like it im afraid.

It's ok the only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because they let me return the products and offered a full refund but otherwise the products smell only just a little bit like the original, nothing exact, it's only a slight resemblence so it's not a good replica or replacement and it also dries out your skin

Doesn’t smell even remotely like Aesop like they claim. They also delete any negative comments from their instagram. Save your money and shop elsewhere!

I am sorry to give one star, but there are reasons: I recently purchased Desert Bloom Body soap, which should resemble Aesop Geranium Leaf. Not even close! A fragment of foam got in to my eye, they must be using some harsh chemicals, my eye is still sore!

I use Aesop all the time so the idea of halving the cost by purchasing Dessert Bloom was an exciting one. Unfortunately it’s been £25 literally down the drain. Not only does the smell not even come close to Aesop, it has a really cheap fragrance. It reminds me of service station hand wash. Not wanting to waste money, I used it anyway and now I have come out in a very nasty rash. Sadly I think this company is jumping on the dupe bandwagon but with no intention of trying to make a good product. I’ve used Noted Aromas before and they do excellent dupe products. Sadly they don’t do Aesop though.

I loved the concept of bottle-free refills that have scents similar to famous brand products. Unfortunately, the quality of these items does not match that of the originals. The soaps tend to be too watery, and some only vaguely resemble the branded products. The selection that is advertised versus what is available online in the UK is disappointing; many items are sold out, and it seems like these products are rarely in stock. While the soaps work okay as hand washes, I found them too harsh for use as body washes, which left my skin feeling dry.

I wanted to like this - I dig the packaging and the idea is super neat because Aesop products are eye wateringly pricey but alas, the Desert Bloom, which I spent £50 on, and which touts itself as an Aesop like for like is literally nothing like Aesop - watery, less unctuous, and with a kind of nothing scent. Disappointed.

yes it does smell like my usual favourite australian brand of body soap. But the smell was very watered down and did not fill the bathroom as my usual. There was a lot of foam and definate dry skin after I got out of the shower. You go cheaper and you get cheaper.... worth the money, yes! But I will reorder my more expensive, more luxury wash when is is done
