Sabon: Cool Store, Skin Products

Oooohhh weee. I love accidental shopping successes. After an impromptu tour of Steinway Pianos on 57th St. with a mysterious and handsome stranger with a Spanish accent, we stumbled upon Sabon on the west side of Sixth Avenue between 55th and 56th Streets.

The kind salesgent ushered us over to the Sabon Sink in the back, where he directed us as we tried out the fantastic soaps, scrubs, and lotions that they have to offer. Talk about effective selling! Not only did I emerge feeling clean, smooth and fresh like a daisy, but I also emerged with the bottle of Ginger Orange Body Gel Polisher ($16) pictured here.

The products are made in Israel and there are a few other locations in NYC and a few more spread out across the U.S., including everyone's favorite state: New Jersey.
