Antibacterial Hand Wash - Indulging Oud & Frankincense

This is a very nice smelling hand wash (Oud Wood and Frankincense) - which was the main reason for buying it. I've always liked Imperial Leather products for their simple, understated, elegant luxury and this doesn't disappoint. This is quite a thin liquid which produces a reasonable lather that's close to the skin and initially I thought it was unremarkable, but it does nevertheless do an superb job of hand washing. I yesterday, for a change, had to use a supermarket own-branded one which cost less than half the price and I couldn't help but notice how I had to use more than twice as much, and even then it didn't feel like it gave such a good wash. This made me realise how much this hand wash represents excellent value for money, even if one is viewing it purely from the dispassionate perspective of a product costed to serve a function. In the past I have experienced serious problems with Contact Dermatitis so I have to be extremely careful about every detergent I use. This IS a very powerful hand wash so you don't need to use very much. I DO find it slightly drying to my very sensitive skin, leaving my skin feeling a little tight/dry, but I have been using it for a week now with no irritation. The scent lingers for ages on the skin - at least an hour or two. It's nice. The outside styling of the container is very attractive imo. My only criticism is that it would have suited a metal-looking outer ring on the pump dispenser part such as Baylis and Harding do. Even Lidl have a chrome, Cien embossed ring on the pump action of some of their Cien brand hand washes. I've tried swapping for a nicer looking pump mechanism but the screw thread is a proprietary size. These are an excellent touch of refinement, especially at this price. If you like the smell of incense / sandalwood then it is very worthwhile, and if sandalwood isn't your thing, maybe one of the other scents might appeal. Regarding delivery and packaging... this was six bottles shrink-wrapped together in plastic, rattling around in a box at least two times too big, with a little bit of scrunched up brown paper to keep it company in the journey; akin to a football in a tumble dryer. Poorly packed by Amazon and I can see from photos that others have had a similar style of packing. I was fortunate that my delivery arrived safely, but Amazon really should consider packing these a bit better.

This hand wash is lovely. Fragrance and lather is lovely, easy to use. Great value for money

Good value for money and for once l have bought something that smells pleasant 😂. It’s a good thick liquid that is gives plenty of lather. I’m happy

A manly hand soap that you won't run out of. It has a good scent, not as strong as I was hoping for, but I can't complain, for the price. It's not explicitly masculine and is used by my whole household. Washes well. Great price.

Lovely fragrance, smells expensive. Good price, large bottles, foams easily Only complaint is a drippy spout but wouldn't take a star off for that.

Imperial Leather's Indulgent Hand Wash in Oud & Frankincense is a luxurious addition to any bathroom or kitchen sink. From the moment you dispense it, you're transported by the rich and exotic scent of oud and the comforting warmth of frankincense. Not only does this hand wash smell divine, but it also provides the reassurance of antibacterial protection. The signature oil blend leaves my hands feeling not only clean but also pampered and moisturised, making it gentle enough for frequent use without drying out my skin. The sleek packaging adds a touch of elegance to my countertop, and the pump dispenser makes it easy to use while minimising waste. I appreciate that Imperial Leather prioritises both efficacy and aesthetics, elevating the everyday task of handwashing into a moment of indulgence. Overall, Imperial Leather's Indulgent Hand Wash in Oud & Frankincense is a true delight for the senses, combining effective antibacterial properties with a decadent fragrance and gentle care for my skin. It's a product I'll continue to reach for, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their handwashing experience.
