Savon de Marseille with Crushed Local Flowers 300g-Orange Flower
I bought two of these soaps, the verbena (which smells lovely) & the orange one (nothin special…). I had resigned myself to using one as a mantel splash of color but tonight I read the reviews and one said they are easy to cut. So here I am with a huge knife in the kitchen and left with one misshapen hunk o f crumbly soap. It is horrible soap. Although I recommend the chunk of verbena in a car if one lives in a desert community, the heat makes the car smell great!! Don’t buy these expecting to use them in the tub.

I love this soap, I have it in all scents, Grape, Orange, Verbena, Lavendar and Rose. The Lavender and Grape are the best smelling. Although the Lavender, Grape and Verbena are the strongest scent. This soap lathers, moisturizes, and rinses well. I have noticed that you can tell how fresh (the latest date it has been created) it is by how dry it is once unwrapped from the stamped paper. I have noticed that the soap that cumbles some will have a lighter scent. If you have a small bathroom and normally keep the door closed, assuming you receive a fresh soap cube, this makes a fine natural deodorizer. I am a french soap product junkie and tried all on the market and think this is the best of all “bar” soft and hard milled soaps.

This soap is very gentle on the soap; the skin feels moistureized and soft after using it. Its smells great too!

I have decided that this is my new ‘must have’ soap. I purchased the Savon De Marseille in Rose and the scent is heavenly (not at all like the ‘rose scented’ bath products you might find in cheap holiday gift baskets).
Bathing with a big block of soap is a little awkward and clumsy but I found that if I swipe it a few times on my shower pouf, it creates a nice thick lather with very little product (bye bye shower gels). Skin feels clean, not dry, tight or itchy. In my opinion, the only con was that this soap had such a ’strong’ scent out of the box (I think it could be ‘headache inducing’ for certain individuals). I was happy to find that the fragrance was toned down significantly after using it in the shower.
P.S. There is a fifth scent not listed on Amazon called ‘Grape Vine’, but you can find it by going directly to the Frenchsoaps website. I wish I had gone to their site prior to making my purchase because I would have taken advantage of their special pricing to purchase all 5 varieties (then I’d know which ones are my favorite, though I am very happy with the Rose). Also, don’t throw out your ‘Order Receipt’ without checking the bottom right hand corner of the printout. Mine came with a promotion code for Free Shipping with my next order over $45.

The soap smells heavenly! The cube shape of the soap is not something that we see often in the USA. It looks like the soap would be difficult to hold onto when bathing because it is quite chunky. For the aroma alone, I would purchase the product to place in my lingerie drawer. However, I purchased the soaps with a view to giving them out as stocking stuffers. The company (not Amazon) sent out the products promptly and they arrived in excellent condition despite the fact that they were packed higgledy piggledy in the carton. The only disappointment was that the soap arrived crudely wrapped in rough, brown paper that did not do the soap any justice but did not affect the quality of the soap itself. I would do business with this company again especially when they offer free shipping.
