Recommend a good-quality lovely smelling soap bar?

[biggirlknickers]

I want some lovely luxury soap bars - not the supermarket types. I can remember a few people recommended a brand on here: something maybe beginning with O? But maybe not.

Anyway - looking for recommendations please!

I’m not sure if I’ve broken mumsnet rules by putting links in? Sorry if I have

I really love a bar of Pears soap. Addicted to that smell 😂

Dove is the best. I have tried them all.

@ZsaZsaMc Lush have reopened their online shops!

Pears do a blue mint soap now. I bought it last week, I havn't tried it yet though, sorry!

Friendly Soaps are great, they smell fantastic and leave your skin feeling lovely.

I have just treated myself to the L'Occitane cherry blossom, shower gel and body lotion and their milk shea butter soap. I couldnt wait to get into the shower yesterday.

The soap lathers up so creamily.

Another one-woman soap maker here (I'm not her, but these soaps are amazing)

Op, you are thinking of Nesti Dante. I've been recommending them on here for 5+ years.

But for everyday/budget use the Dove bar with shea butter is absolutely gorgeous!

If you can get hold of them Fragonard the French perfume company do beautiful soaps as do Roger and Gallet too

I have a pink pineapple soap from Kew Gardens which is gorgeous. My mum got it for me from a 'little shop' at some local tourist attraction but maybe online too? Range of smells obviously all plant based. Expensive but huge bars and the scent remains on the skin for ages

Another vote for Nesti Dante. I don't like Dove - it doesn't feel like proper soap, though the smell is quite nice.

There are lots of beautiful handmade soaps, but they are no good if you live in a soft water area like me - they dissolve into slimy goo very quickly.

The English soap company do some really lovely soaps. Would highly recommend them!

Hi
I have a question for all you soap lovers..,
What dish do you put them in? I tend to find they go all manky after a time and I’d like suggestions on a good receptacle for a nice soap !

I’m using a massive bar of L’occitaine lavender and it’s gorgeous. The French ones you can get everywhere in France are good. Our green supermarket has a good range, not much help now though. I miss soap sniffing.

This thread has made me so happy. I love a good soap and I’ve just ordered a mystery box from Chateau du Savon. £16 for 8 soaps. Bargain.

We don’t have a soap dish but have a magnetic soap holder-they are fab!

Body shop soaps are good. Had their mango one although have to say they lose their scent after a while. Do any soaps keep their scent throughout?
Have a l'occitane one still in the wrapper from a present so I might get that out as it's been recommended on here.

Holland & Barrett do some really nice ethical soap bars.

Just in case anyone is interested, Nesti Dante use palm oil.... from a "sustainable source" apparently but lots of people (including me) think that's an oxymoron and prefer to just avoid!

I like more herbal ones, with a top runner being the bay one from soapnuts uk - lovely!

While living in U.K., became addicted to Norfolk Soap Company.
Lovely natural bar soaps with natural fragrance as I’m allergic to perfume.

I just came on to say Nesti Dante and lots of others have too. They're gorgeous. Wrapped in cute paper too. TK Maxx, Amazon, perfume shop type websites all stock. I like the rose one best.

@Appuskidu oooh a soap holder?
