Blanche Byredo Hand Cream (featured image)
This brand has been a long time favorite of ours so its no surprise one of their gorgeous scented hand creams has made the list. Beautifully scented with Byredo’s award-winning Blanche Fragrance, this hand cream is the perfect addition to any handbag and winter beauty routine. The formula itself leaves your skin feeling hydrated but without that oily residue. The scent contains notes of white rose, pink pepper, aldehyde, violet, neroli, peony, blonde woods, sandalwood, and musk. It’s not overpowering yet strong enough so you can smell their signature scent which is a lovely fresh awakening smell. You can always trust this Scandinavian beauty house to deliver exquisite products with the highest quality ingredients, and this product is a perfect example of that. 30ml is priced at HKD $320.
