Sabon
Written by Roxanna Sarmiento on 8/23/06 in Pretty, Shop
I was walking down the street one day, minding my own business, when I was overpowered by the decadent scent of soap - really good soap. It was irresistible! I had to follow it, and it led me to the beautiful new Sabon store on Newbury street.
This is my kind of store. Everything is gorgeous - the calligraphy on the labels, the fluffy white towels, the large crystal and brass chandelier hanging over a stone sink - everything inspires you to treat yourself right. As I took it all in, a friendly employee led me to the sink and invited me to try their Body Scrubs. She opened each glass container and let me take in the delicious aroma until I made my selection (Tropic). As promised, it made my hands very soft and the delicate scent lingered pleasantly on my skin.
I think I’m in love. I love the Bath Sea Salts with real rose petals. I love the champagne-scented Aroma diffuser. The Bath Milk made me want to bathe like Cleopatra. Nothing is too extravagant, except for the prices. Considering the obvious quality and the attention to detail, I think that the prices are very competitive.
Sabon is all about the little details. The products, packaged in clear glass to showcase their beautiful colors, are artfully displayed in dark wood shelves. You are invited to smell, touch, feel for yourself how good natural skincare and home care products can be. Who knew all-natural products would be so decadent?
