Luxurious, with Heavenly Scent!
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.

Huge Block of Soap, Crumbled :-(
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...
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.

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.

I bought the lavender Savon de Marseille soap for my daughter as a gift. She LOVES it and says she is never going to use anything but this soap for the rest of her life....suffice it to say, my gift was a huge hit.

This isn't just a soap. It's a pure formation of flowers and fragrance that you never want to be without. The block shape reminds one of its pedigree: the famous, centuries-old "Savon de Marseille" French soaps. But then this company (called "French Soaps" simply enough) started adding crushed lavender flowers from the countryside of southern France along with pure lavender fragrance. The result is the most beautiful, rustic, heavenly soap on the planet. As the flowers lightly exfoliate, the olive and palm oils moisturize and nourish. I buy 10 at a time and share them with my closest friends. By the way the verbena and rose petal varieties are just as wonderful. I haven't yet tried the orange flower (might just order them today!).

Absolutely the best soaps I've ever used. Unbelievable pure lavender / verbena fragrance, soft creamy lather and gently-exfoliating flower petals from the South of France! I love French Soaps' Savon de Marseille with Crushed Flowers.

I keep a big bowl of all different colors of Doux soap in my guest bathroom. When I have a house guest they get to take one home. The only bad thing about Doux soap is that a bar lasts so long. I'm always anxious to try the next color yet even when there is only a sliver left, I can't toss it because it still smells so good. I am spoiled but can't use anything else. I used to send flowers for anniversaries, funerals, birthdays. Now I send a big glass bowl of Doux soap. It's the gift that keeps on giving and doesn't wilt. Try it, your friends will love you for it and THEY will be addicted too!
