French soap bought during Covid

During Covid there was a thread on here about bar soap, It was possibly when liquid soap was scarce. Anyhow, I ordered a box of citrus smelling soaps and they were lovely, there was a mixture of normal size bars and smaller ones. Does anyone know which company it might have been? Thanks.

Go to TK Maxx. They have lovely soaps in there at all prices.

TK Maxx do have nice soaps. This stuff looks good took if you like buying in bulk. (Buy 10 pay for 8 offer at the moment). I think the prices look similar to TK Maxx too.

Fanny is a fairly common girls name in France, or was anyway. There is a well-known actress called Fanny Ardent.

I love French soaps and that looks a great website. I might have to make a purchase!

I actually bought the fanny soap for a bit of light relief during covid. The smell was lovely and the bar lasted ages. This has reminded me to get some more

Chateau du savon do a lovely soap on a rope as well

Savon de Marseille. I have ordered some on Ebay, it's about £3 a bar and it's amazing.

After being gifted some I started buying it on Amazon. The lavender. Love the creaminess.

Are any of these soaps moisturising? I love the fragrances of French soaps but I find that they are so drying and I end up with really awful dry hands!

@PersephoneParlormaid the fanny soap name always makes me chuckle.... I have the lavender one it smells lush

Where it says edited. Click on that an it shows what it was before. People don't realise it usually end up making a fool of themselves haha.

Is this on the app as it doesn't work on the website?

You clean everything with a bar of Marseille soap? Do you grate it?

Thank God it has a nice smell. I was beginning to wonder : )

That's interesting. My granny had a long bar of green soup that had many uses I seem to recall

AuxArmesCitoyens · 08/09/2025 16:00

There are only 3 places that make proper savon de Marseille, Marius Fabre, La Compagnie du savon de Marseille, and Le Sérail. Anything else is a knock-off.

Hummingbirdtree · 08/09/2025 22:36

I can feel more soap buying coming on…

PersephoneParlormaid · 09/09/2025 07:11

My soap is on its way, I just had to have the fanny soap!
