There is something decadent about beautifully packaged soaps. While some reserve particularly special bars for houseguests, more self-indulgent personalities (read as: us) may use a luxurious soap daily, taking cleansing rituals to new heights. Enter Shiffa Dubai’s trio of extravagant, organic bars: Each is handmade with local olive oil and pressed with mint, sandalwood, and Damascan rose (an ancient Middle Eastern bloom). Crafted with only four ingredients, they are gentle enough to be used on the face and body “and won’t dry out your skin,” says company founder and Dubai native Lamees Hamdan, a medical doctor whose interest in dermatology led her to create her own skincare line. “It was important to keep alive the wonderful practice of cold-pressed, [artisanal] soapmaking,” says Hamdan, who adds that in addition to their exquisite smell and colorful packaging, her soaps are inlaid with a protective charm “to ward off the evil eye.” Pretty and powerful—with the holiday season looming, what could be a better foolproof hostess gift? Your powder room (and hers) will thank you.
