For the most part, hand soap gets the job done—nothing more, nothing less. Rarely does it stop you in your tracks, so when it does, it lingers on your skin and in your mind. Over the years, I’ve kept a running list of the best soaps, candles, and diffusers I’ve encountered at restaurants, scribbled down in a long-forgotten note on my phone that I’ve finally resurrected so that I could finally share it with a larger audience. (You’re welcome!).
Turns out, I’m not the only one hoarding a wishlist of these little luxuries. Apparently, the urge to take home a restaurant’s soap or candle is practically universal. Everyone I’ve asked agrees that a great bathroom scent can make a dining experience unforgettable. In that spirit, I’ve rounded up my all-time favorites, plus a few recommendations from my fellow editors and friends. Whether you’re looking to impress guests or just want your bathroom to smell like a five-star meal, these soaps and candles are sure to do the trick.
