“The lavender is the real thing rather than a fragrance — you can smell the difference straight away. Three weeks in and the bar has barely shrunk.”

“Bought as a gift, kept it, bought another as the gift. The lather is noticeably richer than the other bars and the rose is soft rather than perfumey.”

“Bought this for my wife and ended up buying three more for myself. The orange is sharp and real, not the sickly stuff you get in supermarket soap.”

“Properly cold on the skin and it shifts everything after the gym. Worth keeping it on a dish though, the charcoal will mark a white shelf.”
