Huge Block of Soap, Crumbled :-(February 19, 2008 1 out of 10 found this review helpful
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.
Nice QualityJanuary 14, 2008 This soap leaves my skin feeling very clean, but not tight and dry. The scent, orange flower, smelled more orange and herbal than floral, so I believe men would find the scent appealing. Note that the bar is actually dark orange in color, rather than purple, as pictured. I am anxious to try the company's other soap scents!
One Block Last 3 Months or More -Mild Fragrance-VerbenaDecember 20, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
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.
Luxurious, with Heavenly Scent!April 6, 2007 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
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.
Great soap for sensitive skinApril 5, 2007 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
This soap smells like verbena - can be a bit over powering but the soap is great for sensitive skin. Makes my bathroom smell great.
