Why Can’t We All Have Nice Things?

This is the question that started LeNOSE.

You see, we’re 3 friends who love fancy scents, fancy design, fancy everything.

The only problem: fancy is always expensive.

And this might sound crazy, but fragrance and soap are two of the worst culprits of all.

I mean, look around. Overpriced soap has become an incredibly bizarre status symbol for the rich and famous — because if they can afford fancy soap, then they can literally afford to wash money down the drain, right?

Well, sure, but that doesn’t make it make sense...

At LeNOSE, our secret ingredient is lower margins.

That’s it.

We use the highest quality ingredients, and we work with the world’s top perfumers to craft even finer fragrances than you can find in $50+ soaps, and THEN we sell our soaps for significantly less money.

Maybe this is silly. Maybe it's crazy. And maybe it's bad business. But we think it’s the right thing to do.

Because we’re building a world where everyone can have nicer things.

One soap at a time!

Thank you so much for considering LeNOSE,

Carol, Lindsay & Zee

Complex Fragrances

To be extra clear: LeNOSE is a fragrance brand that happens to have a passion for soap. That’s why our scents are crafted like the ideal ménage à trois (with a top, a bottom, and a middle).
World-class perfumers

We work with the absolute best fragrance artists in existence, le geniuses who have literally designed fashion scents that make J’Adore smell J’Snore.
Zero Nasty Ingredients

Big corporations love to use chemicals that can harm your children. Our soap was designed to make your children smell rich enough to buy those corporations.
Women-owned & led

Why are most companies still run by men? We like men (particularly their hands), but our small business is run by women because women are obviously better at making cute things.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't you sell single bottles of soap?

Short answer: the environment. Longer answer: our minimum order is 2 soaps because it's wasteful to ship 1 soap to a house, especially when almost every single house in America has 2 sinks. But don't worry, we promise you'll use both bottles! It's not like soap is going to become less important anytime soon.
Why is LeNOSE so much less expensive than other luxury soap brands?

Because our margins are tiny. That's literally the only reason. Even our moms think we should be charging at least $50 per bottle, but whatever. More soap for everyone!
Is LeNOSE soap antibacterial?

LeNOSE soap is not specifically "antibacterial" because it doesn’t include harsh active “antibacterial” ingredients. All soaps help to remove bacteria from your skin, but only medical products labeled "antibacterial" contain chemicals designed to kill germs, such as benzalkonium chloride. Normal soap is just as appropriate as antibacterial soap for everyday handwashing because normal soap molecules lift germs and bacteria off skin and rinse them away, according to both the FDA and CDC.
Is LeNOSE luxury hand soap safe for sensitive skin?

LeNOSE is formulated with gentle surfactants and ingredients like aloe vera and olive oil for a smooth and hydrating handwashing experience. That said, if your skin is particularly sensitive, you'll still want to moisturize after washing your hands. No matter how gentle a soap is, it's always going to strip some of the excess oil off your hands. That's literally what soap does!
How much LeNOSE hand soap should I use per wash?

1 pump is usually enough. 2 pumps is nice if you want to have a li'l handwashing party. 3 pumps is honestly unhinged, and we only recommend it if you're washing an ex off your hands for good.
How long does a bottle of LeNOSE soap typically last?

Like 30 days. But it really depends on how many hands you've got living in your house. If you're a family of four, that's a lot of hands, and you may go through a bottle every 25 days. If you're a family of 2 and one of you is super OCD about germs (like I am) then you might wanna smash the subscribe button next time you order.
Are LeNOSE hand washes vegan and cruelty free?

Yes. LeNOSE products are never tested on animals and are formulated without any animal-derived ingredients. Because we believe luxury and ethics go hand-in-hand.

Do androids dream of electric soap?

We're not sure. I guess we could ask Claude, but there was no AI used in the making of our soap, our photography, our packaging, or anything else.
