Help me find this mystery beautiful bar of soap!

ReallyShouldBeDoingSomethingElse · 11/06/2024 11:05

I've Googled and failed to find it. There are plenty in similar packaging but then the bars inside are a different shape...

I was given a beautiful bar of soap as a gift. It smelled divine, was great for my skin and it lasted ages. I want to buy another bar but can't find it. Does anyone know of a soap brand that fits this description?:

Big rectangular bar (bigger than a standard soap bar)

White/pale cream in colour

Wrapped in thick good quality paper with a lovely colourful pattern/image on it. Vague recollection of orange/red colours

Black ribbon around it

I'm convinced the fragrance was pomegranate but could have been passionfruit

A brand I'd never heard of (think probably Italian/Spanish)

Some nesti Dante soaps come with coloured ribbons I’ve had them before , like these.

I now need to know what soap it is 😂

Myusernamemustbeatleastthreecharacters · 11/06/2024 22:56

I need to sleep. I don't use soap.
Why am I so invested in this thread 😅

Saski24 · 11/06/2024 23:00

Has it got a little black and gold label actually on the bar of soap so that when it’s nearly finished you’re left with a tiny ‘nubbin’ of soap with label attached? In which case it’s ‘Imperial Leather’ the absolute Queen/King of all soaps. Hope this helps.

I'm checking in on this thread for the elusive soap update. I'm also heading to Tkmaxx tomorrow 😂

Tbry24 · 11/06/2024 23:09

Has anyone suggested alchimia they come with fancy ribbons. I’m trying to remember all the ones I’ve bought over the years p.

Apolloneuro · 11/06/2024 23:19

Well it would be extremely rude of me to ignore your helpful advice, so I’ve ordered both 🥰

Cruelty free as well. I only buy from cruelty free brands.

ETA I’ve added Rose and Peony as well.

Problem I have with soap is that they last too long and I get bored.

nickyschof · 11/06/2024 23:21

Do any of these fancy soaps leave a perfume on the skin after? I once bought one of the soaps from Tkmaxx, smelt beautiful, but once in the shower, just left a soapy smell. I was so disappointed.

Amybelle88 · 11/06/2024 23:30

I don't even use bars of soap and I'm so invested in this thread 😂

OhcantthInkofaname · 12/06/2024 00:08

I would ask! I'd take it as a compliment.

I've used a Nesti Dante soap that left a perfume on my skin.

Looks like the TKMaxx soap section is going to be busy tomorrow with people from this thread! How will we all recognise each other! 😁

WorriedGCSEMum · 12/06/2024 00:58

With all the TK Max talk reminded me that at Christmas I bought a beautiful almond smelling soap ther came in a round box beautiful paper and had a hint of glitter + a rectangular box one that was a mini musical box containing a soap - I was in soap heaven - both are things of beauty

Chewinggumwall · 12/06/2024 03:03

Please ask the gift giver! I am dying to know. I don't understand why you didn't keep the packaging if you liked the soap so much?

Geppili · 12/06/2024 03:34

I am so invested in this soap bar now! Please ask! 😂

Inthetropics · 12/06/2024 03:39

Maybe this?

Squirrelsnut · 12/06/2024 05:34

Edited

The rose and peony one is lovely, I've just finished using that one. Nesti Dante do sets which have smaller bars that don't last as long as the house brick sized ones!

I didn't realise how much i liked it until I'd been using it a while.

If I ask the gift giver now, I might be outing myself. This thread has had more attention than anticipated!

The paper on this one is definitely different but I might try one of these at some point.

Looking at these, I think it could be this brand but looking online I can't find a pomegranate one.
