Byredo
Looking for a body wash that will transport you to a faraway land? Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique Body Wash is just the ticket. This luxurious shower gel is infused with the warm and woody scent of Bal d’Afrique, Byredo’s iconic fragrance inspired by Ben Gorham’s father’s diaries of his years spent travelling the continent. As you lather up, the intoxicating aromas of African marigold, vetiver, bergamot and Moroccan cedarwood will fill your shower, and thanks to a blend of natural moistursers, your skin will be left soft and smooth whilst smelling sublime.
NÉcessaire
Nécessaire’s The Cleanser is a minimalistic masterpiece for those who appreciate simplicity and quality. Seen splashed across almost every Insta it-girl’s and (celeb’s) shower shelfie, its fragrance-free, non-irritating, pH-balanced formula is packed with skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, vitamins C and E and marula oil, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin who want a high-end, fuss-free shower experience sans stripping the skin of moisture. A nécessaire-y addition to your body care arsenal? Without question.
Oribe
For those who love the scent of the Mediterranean, Oribe’s Côte d’Azur Replenishing Body Wash is a match made in heaven. This opulent body cleanser exudes the fragrance of the French Riviera, with hints of Calabrian bergamot, white butterfly jasmine and sandalwood. The scent was also created by one of the oldest French fragrance houses, FYI. Not to mention its formula, which is enriched with ingredients like sweet almond oil, vitamin A, carrot root extract and glycerin, to leave skin radiant and silky soft.
aesop
Go find a bougie bathroom that doesn’t feature something from Aesop. Nope? Thought not. It wouldn’t be a best cool luxury body washes guide without including this cult Aussie favourite. The Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser is the embodiment of understated elegance, with its botanical-infused formula enriched with geranium leaf, mandarin rind and bergamot to create a fresh and herbaceous fragrance. This body wash leaves your skin feeling refreshed and clean, making it a staple for those who appreciate minimalist sophistication.
Salt & Stone
For the ultimate in eco-luxe body care, look no further than Salt & Stone’s Antioxidant Body Wash. This gem is a radiant revelation for those who crave organic goodness without compromising on luxury. Packed with a potent blend of antioxidants, it does double duty by cleansing your skin while protecting it from environmental stressors. The invigorating scent of eucalyptus and cedarwood creates a refreshing aura, turning your shower into an aromatic oasis. Plus, with its cruelty-free, plant-based ingredients, you can feel good about your skincare choices.
OUAI
Indulge in the glamorous essence of Beverly Hills with Ouai’s Melrose Place Body Cleanser – a shower companion that’s as chic and seductive as the iconic neighborhood itself. A signature creation from celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin‘s beauty empire, this body cleanser promises to elevate your daily shower routine with a spa-like scent of rose, bergamot and lychee. It also boasts a sulfate-free formula to ensure a gentle cleanse, and a pretty pale pink bottle to boot. Yes ouai.
Le Labo
When it comes to one of the biggest cult scents of our times, it doesn’t get much better than Le Labo’s Santal 33. When we say everyone wears it, we mean everyone. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Alexa Chung, Justin Bieber and – of course – GRAZIA’s very own beauty editor included. So, naturally, we’re all for lathering up the body wash version of this iconic scent, which blends spicy, leathery notes of sandalwood, cedarwood, musk and leather. Not forgetting its nourishing formula, which contains antioxidant-rich vitamin E, aloe vera, flaxseed extract and olive leaf to gently cleanse without stripping away moisture.
