5.0 out of 5 stars Luxurious, with Heavenly Scent!, April 6, 2007

Pearl Drift "Ana" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) with Pure Crushed Local Flowers from France (Misc.)

This fragrant line of "Savon de Marseille" is sheer bliss! I bought the Lavendar and the Rose. Each has a wonderful fragrance that permeates the senses, and provides for a very satisfying and luxurious bath and shower experience. The moisturizing qualities of these pure "Vegetable Oil" base soaps are combined with heavenly fragrance. Not the cheap smell of ordinary lavendar and rose scents often found in bath products; but rather, the intoxicating aroma of "Lavendar Flowers" growing in a field, or the unmistakable delicate yet rich perfume of "Rosa Damascena", the Old Damask Rose. Service provided by French Soaps (the vendor) is also excellent! Products arrive fresh, well packaged, and with lightning speed.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Block Last 3 Months or More -Mild Fragrance-Verbena, December 20, 2007

This review is from: Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) with Pure Crushed Local Flowers from France (Misc.)

One block will last 3 mths or longer. This soap was not real fragrant, DOUX soaps are better for fabulous scent that last a long time. Savon De Marseille soaps are made according to strict ancient methods. A blend of olive oil, vegetable oil, alkaline ash, sea plants, fragrance and sea water. Once the blocks are cut they are left to dry outside in the sun.

This soap arrived wrapped in just some loose paper. It is not sealed. Doux French soaps are infused with fragrance and not exposed to air drying to dissipate the scent. They are then shrinked wrapped to preserve the fragrance which is powerful. I gave this Marseille Verbena a 4 star for this reason...lack of potent fragrance.

However everything else about this soap is really good.
How many bars of soap last for months? Because of the olive oil it does not dry out your skin. Its purity makes it great for sensitive skin.
