Sabon

I was in love with all of their products until I found a cockroach inside this roll-​on deodorant bottle. Glad that I found it before applying it. I immediately returned to the store to get a refund, told them about a cockroach inside the bottle. However, I was not asked about my choices but to exchange. I didn’t want to make a fuss so just asked for the refund, and the sales has apologized about it. She told that the products are made in Israel and therefore the insect has come from there. But that only brings another question of the hygienic condition and working environment of the original factory of Sabon. This review is just to let others aware of what they are purchasing and using for their body. I highly doubt if anyone would like to get anymore of the products when they are in the same situation.

This is a gorgeous store with helpful, knowledgeable staff. Not to mention the products are delicious. My boyfriend and I were greeted immediately and warmly by a staff member who approached us without being pushy. She asked us about our individual scent preferences and helped us find products to try using the sink in the middle of the store. After showing us a few products she stepped away and gave us space to browse. I ended up buying a handsoap, milky soap, and shower body brush/​loofah. All three products work wonderfully and the soaps smell great. The prices are on the high end side, but the products are of such high quality that if you’re a beauty junkie it’s totally worth it. I will definitely stop by again.

Lapin and I passed by the store and were lured into it by the sweet scent that was wafting by. We walked in and was immediately greeted by the one sales rep working there. He was energetic and friendly. He offered to wash our hands and let us try out the different salts, scrubs, lotions and shower gels. We walked out with a couple of items [the carrot lotion being my favorite] and Lapin getting a men’s shower gel. Overall, it was a nice shopping experience but the products are expensive so they will be more of a once in awhile treat.

A bit expensive but it’s a nice splurge on yourself. Everything smells great and toxic free. Staff is friendly also, the store looks beautiful!

This store is tiny! They have everything they have online though except online they don’t have the smaller size for the body scrubs. I would rather buy the larger size but then again who wants to pay for shipping when you can just go to the store?!

Just bought a Christmas present here, and was pleased with the experience. The manager was extremely nice and helpful, and was very knowledgeable about all of the products.

Fun store. Can try all the scents and they have a huge sink in the middle so you can try the scrubs.
So I like the scrubs and the lotions. But I’m not really a fan of the scents… but the lotions really do work…
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The store is also nicely decorated.
Just make sure you try before you buy…

The place is small. There’s a sink in the middle of the store and a little bit of walking space outside of that area.
The scents are subtle, but not washed out. They’re not your bath and body works kind of smells, which can be quite overpowering and wear your nose out quickly. You can find Jasmine, Mango Kiwi, Musk, Vanilla, Tangerine, and much more.
The prices for each of the items (shower oil, body scrubs, facial cleansers, etc) are $ 17 – 40. It’s a little out of my budget.
But if I had the money, I would definitely go back and buy the ‘La Mer’ room spray ($ 20); I tried all of the room spray smells and that is the best one — I know I won’t tire of the smell after many uses. It’s a natural and clean scent. The fruity room spray is also quite good but it has a tad sweet aftersmell that I personally might tire of. But it’s refreshing nonetheless.
The musk body scrub, oil, etc is a great smell. It smells very clean, only a hint of manliness but it’s barely there.
Overall, I had a great experience. I loved the young lady who guided us through the hand washing. My hands were so smooth and creamy afterwards.

Usually I take a free soap sample and scurry away like the poor student I am, but recently I went in with a friend to buy a gift. They have a beautiful fountain in the center of the shop where you can wash your hands and try new products. The lady helping us was super sweet and we each tried a scrub and a lotion. I tried the carrot lotion at the suggestion of the saleswoman and was pleasantly surprised! It smells like carrot flowers, apparently, which I wouldn’t even know was a thing that smells good until now. I left with a carrot lotion as a gift and a free hand cream that came with my purchase (and like three soap samples, ok).

I am a LUSH social, window shopper. I’ve always been curious about Sabon so decided to finally check it out. Great first experience especially with the outrageously friendly staff. I got the hand treatment/​sale pitch which was ok. Ended up purchasing some products for a friend and myself. The pricing was lower than expected for the area in Manhattan. Sabon has an App Card that you sign up via phone number. Its worth trying conaidering they give you a free body lotion sample. Also they do provide gift wrapping services including bubble wrap — just ask.
I would recommend and come again. Disclaimer: Do not expect there to be adequate space, especially to ladies with big handbags and tourists with a bunch of shopping bags.

I am always a fan of Sabon. I am glad to find one so close to my new office. I stopped in today specifically for the Lavender Rose Hand Cream. The store has a small front but it is actually on 2 levels. The staff was busy filling the shelves when I went in and they apologized for the mess politely. Of course I am happy the store is well sto9cked and appeared to be clean; under the boxes of course. They also have the traditional Sabon hand wash station and plenty of samples to try as you shop in the store. Staff was friendly and I did no feel like I was bothering them. They could have been a little more attentive but like I said they were busy unpacking the days deliveries. All in all a good experience and I will come back to this location again!

Free soap says a girl in front of the door as I passed by. I take the tiny soap sample and then the fresh clean smell lured me into the store.
Do you want to wash your hands? says a girl inside… sure! I know I’m dirty.
She then tells me:
1) Step on the floor pedal to start the sink and wet my hands.
2) Dumps some sea salt that has been soaking in jar that smells awesome.
3) Rub my hands and get rid of all my dead skin cells that I never knew I had on my hands.
4) Rinse my hands
5) Use one of the hand lotions
I came out feeling like I have baby hands and with a jar of $ 33 sea salt bath wash, and a $ 1 wooden spoon to scope the magical salt out.

Love sabon products — i think it has better quality than LUSH and smell really good– not sure if it’s organic or not though–
Like you in Hampton– this place smells like Hampton. cant explain but yeah.
i personally like this location because it’s near my apartment and it is not as popular as other locations so the staffs are not bother me as much.
i would recommend shower oil — only 18 $ but it comes in glass bottle –really nice and pretty big will last you 2 – 3 months.
for scents i like ginger orange and kiwi mango
they also carried men line — the body wash smells really good, my uncle loves it as a christmas gift last year.

I bought a Sweet Bath oil bar for the bath, vanilla coconut. Its shaped and molded in a chocolate bar, yea cute but doesnt sud or dissolve in tub… so its just a regular body butter thats way overpriced in my opinon

If you truly want to take a quick step of relaxation right in the middle of the Soho in New York, you MUST step in to one of Sabon stores! I guarantee, all the dirt, filth and noise of NYC will be left behind. The scent, the feeling, the service and the products: AMAZING scrubs from the Dead Sea in Israel, most unique body lotions and body butters to treat your body like you never did before, many high quality products for THE perfect bath and if that’s not enough, they have natural face & hair products. One warning: once you try it, your body wants more and more and more!!! Do yourself a favor, and step into one of their stores — it’s the best thing I’ve done during my last visit in NY!

**Impressive** store for both rustic/​hand-​crafted soaps and high-​end European bath products made with a natural bent. A great place to go simply to browse and refresh one’s olfactory… uhh.faculties. Wonderful smells and scents abound.
A bar of fine soap can be had here for about $ 6; but it will enliven your weekdays for a whole month. That’s a bargain. Gets my morning off to a soothing start. Forget supermarket soap forever after visiting here just one time.

I love love Sabon! I tend to have a bit of oily skin so I bought their Jojoba Facial Wash for Combination Skin for only $ 11 and it smells amazing! It’s gentle, natural and leaves my face feeling extremely fresh. Highly recommend!

I was an original fan of Sabon when it came to NYC a few years ago. However they have slighted me recently and I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon. I ran out of their night cream, a great, thick moisturizer with a faint vanilla scent which allowed me to drift off to sleep and enter calming, pleasant dreams. When I ran out, I went to one of the locations in SoHo on Prince and Wooster who said that they were out of stock, and suggested I go to the second SoHo location, the one on Spring Street.
I arrived, after making my first stop, and after a stressful nine-​hour workday, only to be told that if one store is out of stock of a product, it means a new shipment from overseas has not arrived yet. They never get notified when a new shipment will come in, which basically means that the who NY metro area is without certain Sabon products at any given time, with no way of offering customers to place back-​orders or search for the product online. So the first store location gave me some misinformation and the second store location, while honest, had little to offer in terms of a contingency plan for my current needs.
I love supporting small business with all-​natural ingredients, but this type of unhelpful customer service just really frustrated me. I think their products are extremely high-​quality and well-​priced, a win-​win, and I have enjoyed their body scrubs, mud masks, and especially their glycerin loofah soaps that come in all sorts of natural scents like lemon, amber, and lychee. I still stop in once in a while for a little treat like a bath bomb or some new body cream, but for staples that I need to replace as soon as I run out, I’ll be going elsewhere. Which is too bad, because I really loved their night cream. And their white tea eye cream is pretty awesome, too.

Anyplace where I can go to get a free hand wash, free hand sugar or salt scrub and free hand massage is a great find in my book.
I had just spent a LONG day shopping for my sister’s graduation gift (thank you Coach!), and I needed some relaxation for myself.
The sales women were so nice — they watched my shopping bags, they showed me *all* of the sulfur free products that Sabon carries and helped me pick up some patchouli candles.
Even when the store suddenly became busy, I never felt like they had stopped paying attention — when I went to check out, the women even remembered to add in the bath salt spoon to go with my peach bath salts. I just wish I wasn’t allergic to half of their products — otherwise, I would probably live in the Sabon store!

I always get a ton of free Sabon soap samples from outside their various stores, and this night, I decided to go inside. We had a whole soap demo for the four of us, where we tried some soap, scrubs, and lotion. It did leave me with a minor cut on my finger, however. My friend also started getting a reaction, which turned her hands red, and they immediately counteracted that with carrot lotion. Hmmm guess it’s not for everyone.
The lady took my two rings I placed on the sink, yet we both forgot about it. I called the next day, and they were super helpful, giving me the manager’s cell # and calling me on a Friday night-​Sat morning. I got my rings back, but watch out when you do a demo here. They had other rings that were left behind, so don’t forget!
