Is this lotion expensive? Will I never not have it in the house? No. It sits in my entryway table and every one who walks by always takes a pump on their way out because the smell is divine and it hydrates so wonderfully without leaving a greasy residue. It’s luxury that I can’t live without.

The Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm is one of my favorite luxury hand creams. I received this as a birthday gift and I am so thankful for it. It’s rich and moisturizing but sinks in quickly without feeling greasy. The herbal citrus scent of mandarin and rosemary is so calming, and it leaves my hands soft, smooth, and nourished for hours. Plus, the minimal, chic packaging looks gorgeous on my nightstand or desk.
