leanliness is a lifestyle choice.”
-Chet (Eric Stoltz) from Noah Baumbach’s
Kicking and Screaming
Though Chet was speaking of housecleaning, the thrust of his quip can extend to one’s body. In the post-Grunge era, greasy (aka greezy) bodies no longer have the cool cachet they once held. Nowadays (I’ve always wanted to use the word “nowadays”) freshness has become a sought after quality. To create a well-scrubbed populous, a number of soap and wash emporiums have emerged; Sabon is one of the best.
Based in Israel, Sabon’s beauty products travel a long way to get to the rim of your Montreal tub and, subsequently, into your pores and across your epidermis (I didn’t mean that to sound so dirty; sorry). Begun in 1997 (note the year), Sabon now has two Canadian locations (the other one is in Toronto) and a very successful online trade.
High-quality products run the wash gamut, from scrubs and oils to gels and soaps. With a huge variety to choose from, you should easily find a scent and hygienic medium for you. A men’s line ups the inclusiveness factor and aides in the placation of shopping companions.
Sabon’s handmade soaps and other products are crafted with an environmentally conscious, anti-animal-testing ethos that employs a traditional Australian method and allows cleanliness to extend to your conscience.
