I've seen this soap sold online from Europe and was delighted to find it offered at Amazon. I took the advice of one reviewer and ordered the largest size and sliced it into small bars for ease of handling. It was very easy to cut into it.

I used the soap in the shower for the first time today and already know that I'll purchase it again. It's a gentle soap with a very soft feel to it. It lathered fine in our hard water. My skin hasn't felt itchy at all today.

I wondered if because it's so soft that it would be used up too quickly. But I can already see that it'll be long lasting. I give it an A+.

I found this soap in a honey shop in Paris in winter 2006 and after the first use I told my friends about it and afterwards they bought the same soap and continue to buy it today. It smells like olive oil, but it doesn't smell strongly. I recommend people using this soap lather and rinse twice in a row for best results, it will make your skin soft and smooth and the natural ingredients make the results long lasting, I use it once every three or four days but it's gentle enough to use every day. I wish I had bought more while in Paris because it is impossible to find in California!

Ever since I discovered these beautiful blocks of olive oil soaps from this company "French Soaps" my skin is not dry and chapped. I don't have to use body lotion or hand cream. In the shower it has a creamy feel unlike regular soap, leaving skin soft and clean. Savon de Marseille olive oil soaps are unfragranced, but they have a clean, olive oil scent that I love.

By the way, there are other companies that sell "Savon de Marseille" but if you pay close attention you'll see that they don't have the rustic, irregular look of the ones from French Soaps. I learned that French Soaps is the only ones still making Savon de Marseille by hand (as it has been for centuries). They are poured and cut (resulting in a softer soap -- and softer skin). The others you see are actually machine-made replicas of the real deal and I'm told that in France these replicas are strictly for export -- they know the hand-crafted ones are the true originals and the best.

I LOVE these soaps.

I always buy this soap when I travel in France. When I found it on Amazon, I was elated! It is so moisturizing that I never need to use any body creams or lotions. With its simple and pure properties of Olive Oil, Vegetable Oil and Mediterranean Sea Salted water; "Savon de Marseille" is the ultimate soap to use for dry skin. The large 1000gm. blocks are a great value, and they can be cut easily into four individual 250gm. bars. Great for ones' own personal use. For gift giving the 300gm. bars are perfect! If you want to walk out of the shower and not immediately feel compelled to put on hand cream or body cream, use this Masterpiece Soap!

I have been searching for a product to clean my oily, yet often dehydrated face, and have finally found a good one in this olive oil based soap. It is gentle, yet removes every trace of makeup and excess oil. I bought the larger bar and cut off a more managable piece. It is easy to slice through with a sharp knife yet seems to be very long-lasting.

This soap is unbelievable! It leaves skin soft and smooth and had no added chemicals.

This soap works well for sensitive skin. Smells like Olive Oil but hey that's why they named it olive oil soap.

I am very please with this soap. It is a wonderfully mild soap that is non-itchy! Vendor shipping and service is excellent. Very quick shipping. Will purchase from again. Thank you!

I love this soap. It is perfect for travel since it has so many uses. It is gentle enough to use on the face. It leaves the body soft and clean. You can even hand wash your clothes with it. You can slice it to the perfect size you desire using a hot knife. Everything about this soap is so pleasing, natural, and crudely elegant. It is perfect and simple. I highly recommend.

This company continues to win me over. I love this cube soap. I bought the smaller cube and it fits perfectly in my soap dish in the shower. It leaves my skin moisturized but not greasy. The scent is really nice. I will buy bigger next time. If you have sensitive skin or just love organics you have to try this soap. Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!!!!!
