Who isn’t a sucker for pretty packaging? Fancy soaps aren’t a new thing, but Fresh’s Cucumber Baie Oval Soap ($15) lured me in with its delicate wrapping, which is tied and topped with a semi-precious stone. And, that’s before I got to the supersized vegetable-based soap, which is milled multiple times to last much longer than any fruity bottle of shower gel. Scented with a refreshing burst of water lilies and hyacinth, the soap is a fantastic wake up call first thing in the morning.
