Orange scented soap

I really fancy some zingy, orange scented soap. Does anyone have a recommendation?
L’Occitane used to do an orange shower gel that I’m hoping to find something similar too. Needs to be bar soap though, as I’m cutting down on plastic.
Thanks! Smile

Body shop did a gorgeous clementine soap but not sure if it was a limited edition.

T K Maxx often have nice Florentine and French soaps - not sure about orange scent as I always go for the lemon ones of which there are usually loads.

I have some lovely orangey soap, but I bought it in a French supermarket, so no help to you. TK Maxx had loads of lemon ones, and maybe some orangey ones when I was in the other day.

I was looking in there for a cheaper version of L'Occitane's Verbena bar soap, but had no luck. So if anyone knows where to get something like that, I'd appreciate it as DH almost passed out when I told him the only bar soap he has really liked was £9 a bar.

Scottish Fine Soaps do a lovely orange soap, in a tin. I normally buy them in TKMaxx.

TK Maxx for soap, definitely. I’ve got some lemon verbena soap from there at the moment & I’m sure I’ve seen the occasional bar of orange scented as well. I’ve got DD into proper soap too, she likes choosing a couple of bars when we go.

I was going to say Faith in Nature as well. I know they do an orange one. I use the lavender one and it has quite a smell. Not very overpowering but I can still smell it on me hours later. No complaints here !

Or if you don't mind paying a bit - Lush - their karma is spicy orange.

With Bois d'Orange perfumed soap, rediscover the magic of a scented journey to the heart of an Andalucian garden in the shade of the orange trees. Allow yourself to be carried away by the vibrant, sunny freshness of the leaf & fruit, the smoothness of the flower and the soft, woody perfume of the wood of the orange tree.

M&S do pack of 3 for £15

TK Maxx for sure. I got a beautiful spiced orange Florentine triple milled huge bar in there the other day for £3.99. It smells so good I think I'm just going to put it in my knicker drawer.

Are the TKMax soaps good? Don’t want something drying...

Yes the TK Maxx French soaps are good and last for ages.

Thanks!

@ladypeterwimsey did you get anywhere with a L'Occitane alternative?

Not really, I'm afraid. I found some French verbena soap on eBay, but I haven't been anywhere near TKMaxx recently to see if they have had any in.

Body Shop satsuma one is lovely.

Soap purchasing has been my obsession since winter!
I've tried them all - Nesti Dante (couldn't smell it), Waitrose Clementine (nice smell), Faith in Nature (nope!) and Scottish Soap/Little Soap Company (still nope!)
The one that smells most orangey to me is Body Shop Satsuma.
I think my sense of smell is on the blink these days, so it needs to be a powerful bam of orange!Grin

There’s a new soap company called Please & Thank You. Their ‘Fire in the Orangery’ soap is gorgeous.

Also they donate a soap to a person in need for each one that you buy.

Definitely no (so far!) Double jabbed and LFT's twice a week for work! Although maybe that's mashed the sinuses....Grin
Either way, I love a good tango slap of citrus scent, meGrin

Le chateau du Savon import soap from Marseille. They do some orange scents. The eight mixed bars are good value- we love all the scents and all the packaging is plastic free.

Nesti dante soaps are the best, they do every scent going so I'm certain theres anorange one. I've had a citrus one before and it was beautiful. They last ages and keep their scent.
