Nesti Dante soaps - what's your favourite?

[ViveLEntenteCordiale]

I've seen these recommended on soap threads and want to try them - have now found out where to buy online to get free delivery to France, whoop whoop! (Ok, I am overexcited about soap...)

What are your favourites? Am tempted by lavender and verbena - I like them separately but don't know if they go together? And fig and almond - more almondy or figgy? What else is good? I like citrus and fruity scents, open to others but not so keen on in-your-face florals (apart from lavender). I need one for hand washing and one for the shower... and probably some spares! I wish I could smell them all! Thank you soap connaisseurs!

I like the gold one best.

Get the smaller bars, is my best tip. The big ones are massive and last forever and I get really bored waiting for a new smell!

PS Tomato is nice, but it’s the scent of the fruit and not the leaves, which is a shame.

I think they’re a bit overrated. But look nice in my bathroom.

I'm glad it's not just me that thinks this!

Definitely get a set of the 6 smaller bars.

Noooo!
Get the big bars!
The wait and then unwrapping one of those huge, perfect bars is the best bit.

Could you please say where you can get them online?
I agree with the smaller bar option

I love the fig and almond - it's rather more figgy than almondy.

I didn't know they did small bars, I'll have a look for them. I've been cutting a big one into 3 bits and then alternating scents.

@RickOShay amazon sell them.

I love them too, lavender and verbena is my favourite too.

I usually buy mine from escentual, when they have an offer on.

I think look fantastic might sell them too.

@WingBingo
Thank you. There are several sets of smaller bars, so difficult decision time

I like the monastery one, it smells like church incense.

Thanks so much for all the replies - looks like a yes for both lavender and fig!

@RickOShay they are online at lookfantastic.com, you get free delivery if you spend a smallish amount, not sure what it is for the UK. They are probably available in lots of other places too, but I need European delivery.

I looked at the sets but they didn't give a lot of clues about the scents!

Tomato sounds interesting - shame it's not very leafy. Tomato leaves smell amazing!

I do like a big bar  have been using the 250g ones from L'Occitane, which are lovely but I feel like a change.

My favourites are villages and monasteries, coconut and frangipane and fig and almond, all three are quite different but really lovely fragrances.

I like the citrusy ones, and don't like the floral ones. Each to there own. Get the big bars and cut them in half, that's a perfect size imho.

We have been using the large cypress bars, cut in half, for years now. I must consider buying some of the others too, just for a change. We were much less keen on the floral scents, so maybe the lavender and monasteries.

I'm using the " Thermal waters" at the moment

The six pack of smaller single scented ones, which includes cypress, lavender and my favourite, poppy, I think is a good starter pack. They make nice little gifts if you find you don't like a particular scent.

The Fig and Almond one is divine!

I have the coconut one now for a change, but it’s not a patch on the Fig and I’m desperate for it to get used up!

I love the thermal waters hand soap

I purchased 3 of these from Amazon after reading about them on here. Currently using the fig and almond milk which smells amazing, also have the Capri (orange, mandarin and basil) and the frangipane and coconut.

Ended up buying new soap dishes as they are massive so might try and cut them in half when I open a new one.

Can anyone recommend a soap dish that fits the big ones in?!

I got some silicone rubber soap draining mats from Amazon, not the most stylish of things for your bathroom but they do fit the soap on and so far the toddler hasn't destroyed them.
