DH and I disagree about Soap 😳

DH has put a fresh bar of soap out today, his trusty Imperial Leather. He thinks it’s a classy soap based on his childhood perspective in the late 1970s. I think it’s one step up from carbolic. I want Jo Malone soap 😢

AIBU - imperial leather is pure luxury
AINBU - what next, waxy toilet paper?

Imagine being given that for Christmas!

No it is real ! And the advert said "odour control" , there was mention of "older people "
I am "older people " Grin

Only give to someone who you want to kill with frustration unwrapping the bloody soap .

It's so you work up a sweat and then have to use the soap...

I bought my Persimmon Old Person Odour Control Soap.

Three bars were wrapped in tough clear plastic.
Open this , to three boxes (nice, I thought , protects it)
The soap is in a little mesh bag -handy to hang in the shower caddy .
Then you open the bag, the soap itself is in another layer of plastic.
Probably to stop you smelling the damn stuff , after all the effort , I have to use it Hmm
It doesn't smell 'nice' but it works .
Just not environmentally friendly wrapping

How do you know it really works? Genuine question. I'm wondering if it really works better than a decently fragranced soap. Do you have someone who gives you a good sniff and then gives you their honest feedback? 😁

I love imperial leather soap, it reminds me of my dad. But I prefer pears, both the original one and the green one.

It's not "scenty" , but I reckon I smell ok at the end of the day .
'll use it for work days ( when I don;t care if I smell pretty , just clean ) and something more perfumed on my days off .

I haven;t asked anyone to smell me (yet) Grin
