What is your favorite expensive soap/cream?

[Ryan82]

Yes folks, you read that correctly. So much space is wasted talking about the cheapest of the cheap products that I thought I'd mix it up a bit and start a thread devoted to the top tier products that we know and love. So pack away your Williams, Arko and VdH, because we're busting out the good stuff!

Obviously, I will go first with my selections.....

1. Domenico Caraceni - much has been said about this King of Creams, and I can't add anything else other than everything you've heard about DC is true. I'm glad I was able to purchase a tub from the Lucky Scent before they discontinued it, and it's worth it. Simply unbeatable.

2. Xpec - a close second to DC. I've yet to try the reformulated version, which I'm told is every bit as good as the original. The price per ounce for Xpec is actually higher than DC, making it one of the most expensive creams on the market. Another product that is worth every penny.

3. Penhaligons - specifically Endymion, which is the only fragrance of theirs that I've tried. Great scent, great performance - what else can you ask for.

I've yet to try Martin de Candre, but it's on my radar. I still find it hard to justify a product with a shipping cost almost equal to the product itself. Hopefully I get a good tax return this year....

So, what's on your list?
