E BK Reviews 

Got baited by Instagram ad, as I'm sure many have, and bought Mandarin Crush hand soap (Aesop Resurrection dupe) and Desert Bloom body soap (Aesop Geranium Leaf dupe).

They are passable soaps but far from the respective original in terms of scent, texture/feel and persistence - they smell different (and not in a good way), are far more watery and the scent lingers for significantly less than the original Aesop products.

Yes, they are much cheaper than Aesop but I don't think they are worth what they cost - you can definitely get better smelling/feeling soaps for less (e.g. Sukin).

I would rate them 3 stars on their own merit based on price but am deducting a star because their whole selling point / marketing is as dupe to expensive brands and, in that regard, they are not even close, based on the two samples I purchased. Will not be buying again.

Was very keen on trying the candle refills and the hand wash. The handwash product is not bad though doesn’t really smell as advertised (le labo), so not a huge problem there. My problem lies with the candle refills as the one I got at least (baies) really missed the mark.
The packaging and idea behind this company is great, however on this occasion, products didn’t match the hype.

Refills are really watery and smell way off the original they’re trying to dupe. They must have fake reviews or these people have very poor olfactory senses. Disappointed

If someone is saying this is the same as the genuine they must be paid for the review or just simply didn't ever have the genuine product. It is fine but sorry it is not even close to the original and also leaves this weird artificial smell on hands. Not recommend. If you can't afford a genuine one just do not overpay for this cause it is still super expensive comparing to nice soap from your local organic shop

Don’t trust the hype- the soap is fine/nice. But it doesn’t come close to the brands it’s trying to copy… I’ve actually been pretty disappointed as at its price point I’d expect better. It’s fine, it’s hand soap, it’s not bad but it is no where close to Aesop. If you like lush brands, I’d just fork out the money as otherwise you’ll likely be like me wondering why you bought this and how you got influenced.

The fragrances of the candles are so close to the originals. However the fragrance is too weak. Add way more fragrance and I would happily pay more.

I refill my countertop cream bottles in my guest bathrooms and feel like I've found a life hack.

Doesn't smell like aesop, which is what they sell it as. Just smells of mandarin. Could be a v cheap supermarket shop bought product

Used the hand wash, found it very sticky and difficult to wash off, it was also very foamy and not easy to rinse down the sink and will leave a stain if left there.

Smell wasn’t bad but not worth the price.

Big fan of the recyclable element, and love the reduced price point. However the pumice stone hand wash does not pack a punch compared to Aesop, it is similar but it’s a lot less strong and doesn’t linger on you like Aesop does.

I love the soap and body wash and have re-ordered them probably about 10 times now. Have only had an issue once (burst container) and Element sent me a replacement. Wonderful scents and texture, great price—I'll continue to be a repeat customer.

They made good soaps and products. Their prices are solid for the product they sell. Everyone that uses the soap in my house loves it. Would recommend!

Always satisfied with the product itself and the shipping! Smells exactly like the Aesop hand wash and I love the sustainability it offers to just refill the bottles.

Smells great and is much cheaper than aesop

been using Element for years and love them!

I absolutely love element Brooklyn! I have told so many friends about your company. I am a hand soap snob and will buy nice hand soap but after a while it adds up! Thank you for the brilliant idea of affordable refills and beautiful and high end smelling fragrances.

I always love Element's products and eco-friendly packaging. They make a fantastic product at a great price, and have great customer service, too.

Great products, use them to refill Aesop hand soap and creams at my Airbnb properties and guests love it.

Definitely not dupes and won’t re-buy. I bought a candle and hand soap - the candle smells alright (though nothing alike) and the hand soap just smells like dove liquid.
