Fir – Hand & Body Soap

Tangent GC – Swedish care from Stockholm, pared back to the essentials: simple design, a number instead of a name, a single natural scent.

Fir is woody, resinous and green. The Siberian fir, native to the taiga east of the Volga, smells compelling where it stands: pressed between your fingertips, its needles release a balsamic wood aroma – topped by a crisp, fleeting note of pinene. The soap contains real Siberian fir oil and is made with pure vegetable oils.

Best in autumn and winter – unisex, for hands and body, and around Christmas almost a must by the basin. Organic, vegan and cruelty-free.

Why we love Fir: it brings the forest into the bathroom. A few seconds' walk among snowy conifers, every single day – exactly the kind of small luxury we love.
