gel hand wash – ORLA KIELY fall limited edition
indulge your hands
hand washing isn’t typically regarded as an indulgent experience, but it’s time that changed. with the bold, graphic prints of Orla Kiely paired with our naturally derived, biodegradable gel hand wash, your hands will be soft, clean and delicately scented in our most exclusive fragrances. if that’s not indulgent, we don’t know what is.

bay leaf
if you look up "fresh" in the dictionary, there would have been a photo of this herbaceous mix of bay leaves, eucalyptus, rosemary and green vines, but Webster’s wouldn’t accept a scratch + sniff. luckily, you can enjoy our refreshing bay leaf anytime you like.
-
pear ginger
this bright, clean mingling of bartlett pear with ginger root and just a touch of peach will have you longing for your days frolicking through your granny’s orchard with a breeze blowing through your hair. if your granny didn’t have an orchard, you may find this scent a suitable substitute for real memories.
-
primrose
it would be a mistake to assume that because it’s called primrose this scent is prim and proper. because its delicate combination of sterling rose petals, valencia blossom, magnolia and garden ivy is as cool + modern as biking in a dress. and everyone likes a girl biking in a dress.

vanilla chai
cool days call for wool sweaters or cuddling up with an alpaca. and is there anything that goes better with sweaters and alpacas than vanilla chai? we think not. especially one mixed with vanilla sugar, allspice, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. we’re warm already.

Dear Method People,
Please consider making this part of your permanent product line. The vanilla is very subtle, giving this a wonderful spicy scent. Simply amazing!
vanilla chai
OMG, love this scent!!!! They need to put this into a body line. I smell more of the chai than the vanilla which is wonderful.
