Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm 75ml

Home-town brand at source pricing: with the GST refund it beats the US, crushes Indian grey-import prices, and the Melbourne flagship stores are a design pilgrimage in themselves.

Price: 53 AUD (Aesop Australia official price, 75ml tube)

Where to buy: Aesop signature stores (Melbourne has the flagships — the brand was founded there in 1987), Mecca, airport laneway stores

• Aesop is Melbourne-born; Australian stores carry the full range including local-only sizes and gift kits.
• Raw price is near-parity with the US, but stack the 10% TRS refund (A$300 spend is easy at Aesop) and Australia wins — and vs India it's roughly half price.
• Under-100ml tubes can go in hand luggage for easy TRS sighting at the airport.
