Inspired by the various threads on here I switched from shower gel to bar soap a few years ago and have never looked back. It is much better value and I certainly smell fresher.
One thing that eludes me is a bar soap with a scent that lasts. I have bought many from TK Maxx that smell gorgeous when fresh out of the box but the scent fades after a couple of weeks so it is no longer a lovely fragrant lily of the valley or orange blossom, just a faint vaguely soapy sweetness. Even worse, one pack of all natural soaps I bought from Amazon smell lovely in the box but as soon as they get wet the fragrance vanishes.
The only product I’ve found so far where the fragrance lasts to the end of the bar is the Sanctuary salt scrub bar from Boots but it’s quite a clinical, medicinal sort of smell. Lovely for days when I need an early morning energy boost but not so good for a leisurely night time shower.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
