Not many people are willing to drop almost $40 on a bottle of hand soap. However, for the devotees of the bath and body brand Aesop, that hefty price tag is well worth it. The cult-favorite company, which is known for its minimalist packaging and apothecary-chic design, is adored by those who can detect the rich fragrances from yards away.

But of course, that decadence will cost you: the popular Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash goes for $39 a bottle. Seen as an instant indicator of luxury, it’s no wonder why the Gramercy Park Hotel reportedly uses 250,000 units of Aesop product a year. Looking at our house tours, though, we’ve spotted the familiar bottles on the vanities and counters of a wide range of homes, from San Francisco studios to Australian artist’s abodes to a former London pub.

Whether you’re just one of us normals with a taste for the finer things, or you’re Jessica Simpson’s children using Aesop hand wash to wash her car, here are a few tweets you probably relate to.
