To many people, hand wash can just seem like an everyday essential that is only there to keep hands clean. However, at Aybury we strongly believe that hand wash can be so much more and with the right blend of ingredients, you can enjoy many benefits from using a luxury hand wash.

Frankincense - also known as Olibanum - is a fragrance with a rich and colourful history going back at least 5,000 years. As one of the two elements of the Aybury Limenence range (along with mandarin), frankincense is characterised by its spicy balsamic fragrance with sweet lemony undertones.

Mandarin oil, a prime ingredient of Aybury’s Limenence range, has “a fragrant odour reminding of sweet orange oil…” according to Verrill’s authoritative Perfumes and Spices (1940). It’s obtained “by expression from the peel of the fruit of Citrus madurenis, a small tree found in nearly every lemon garden in Sicily. One tree produces about 1000 fruits per annum and these yield about 400 grams of a bright golden-yellow oil.”
