Delicious! Luxury soap with a warm and lush scent.December 29, 2008 This lovely, high quality Sandalwood soap by Caswell-Massey is made of natural, vegetable based products. The soap is triple-milled which means that the soap is very hard and will last a long time. The lather is mild and creamy, leaving the skin lightly scented with this special sandalwood blend.
On this page is offered their hand soap. It is light tan and comes in the 3.25 oz (92 g) size. You get three in the box. There is a larger size which is referred to as the bath soap. It is darker and has a wood grain appearance. The bath bars are larger and weigh 5.8 oz. However, I have used the hand soap as bath soap and cannot tell the difference--the scent and soap quality is the same.
Caswell-Massey's line of sandalwood products have been a favorite of mine for many years. The scent is so wonderful I use bars of this soap in my clothing drawers to infuse my clothing. While this blend may use other ingredients to create the blend the primary scent is the characteristic sweet woodsy fragrance of sandalwood.
Sandalwood is the name for a variety of trees (19) in the genus Santalum. True Sandalwood comes from Hawaii, Australia and India. The essential oil is very expensive and the quality varies according to the age of the tree and the species. It is naturally antibacterial which can assist in keeping skin clear of blemishes. The sweet woodsy aroma is calming and is used in ayurvedic medicine to treat anxiety.
Caswell-Massey is America's oldest apothecary established in 1752. They are well known for providing luxury personal care products. George Washington and John Adams figured among their early clientele.
This soap lasts a long time...October 21, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
and that's the problem. If you love the scent of sandalwood, I wouldn't recommend this soap. The soap is laced with other fragrances that ruined it for me, and is so overpowering, that in spite of the price of the soap, I, who am pretty frugal, ended up putting what was left in the box in the Goodwill bag. No doubt many people will like this overbearing fragrance, but I, who love the fragrance of sandalwood, did not. Otherwise, as a soap, it functioned satisfactorily. P.s., I'm female, which may account for my review vs. that of the previous reviewer.
Finally some quality soap!January 5, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This soap is made with quality in mind! It gives a rich lather and nice feel on the skin. The shipment was fast and the packaging is beautiful. The soap bar lasts for a long time and never loses it's aroma. One of the best soaps I have ever used.
