Let me start by saying that I'm not above using an affordable, drugstore hand soap. In fact, that's what I've used for the majority of my life. It was only recently that I started dabbling in high-end handwashes, and the rumors are true: The right one can instantly elevate your bathroom and make you feel like you're staying at a luxury hotel. In fact, after a few months of only using luxurious, scented formulas, I don't know if I can go back. There's just something about seeing the chic bottle next to the sink, breathing in a soft, perfumy scent, and feeling a silky lather between your fingers… I mean, it's the little things, right?

After a lot of research and weeks of testing, I'm confident that I've found the most luxe, sensorial handwashes on the market. And because I'm a beauty editor who refuses to gatekeep my favorite products, I'm sharing them with you. Ahead, see the 10 high-end handwashes I keep on rotation next to my bathroom sink. Yes, they're pricey, but if your budget allows it, they deliver a next-level experience that others just don't.
