Raising the Bar
By Edwina Ings-Chambers

There really is no need to soft-soap this issue. No amount of flattery can change the fact that, right now, liquid soap just doesn't cut it in the beauty stakes. Nope, currently it's all about a good old-fashioned bar of the stuff. You know, the kind that you can cradle in your hands while you inhale the smell; the kind you can tuck away in your undies drawer so all your smalls smell of roses the kind that, as you always manage to forget, eventually turns into a gloppy mess in a soap dish...

... For a serious retro infusion, log on to kuati.com for its You Smell soaps, which are handmade from shea butter, goat's milk and olive oil (£8). Both the lemon verbena and lavender mint smell wonderful, but frankly, they look so adorable wrapped that you may never actually use them. At least not outside your undies drawer.
