Help me find this mystery beautiful bar of soap!

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)

Sorry - I've let the thread down with lack of update!

The Nesti Dante arrived and is definitely not the right one. It produces more gloop and the scent is more powerfully perfumy than the mystery soap. It's also slightly more drying.

I have an appointment in a couple of weeks in a town that has a TKMaxx so I will pop in then and buy a couple of soaps even if the elusive pomegranate one isn't there.

Just ask her if she can remember where it was from?! That gives her that chance to say no if it was the pound shop!!

I really don’t get why the need for mystery here

Message from my credit card to everyone here:-

Please stop posting details of all these lovely soaps.

That is all.

Do you think you will give in eventually & just ask? 😁

Eventually maybe. For now I think it's more fun this way.

Has anyone suggested Castelba?

alwaysfretting · 27/06/2024 15:51

Castelbel sorry, from Portugal

for the love of soap just message the person and ask, i can't bare this. i never needed a mystery soap so much, i usually just use pears

YourZanyBee · 28/06/2024 01:19

Could it be Escensias du Portugal Flower Fields from TK Max

Just ask and put us out of our misery!

DH recently bought Shields soap and I absolutely love the smell of it. Will now look into TK Maxx soaps thanks to others for the recommendation. I am always looking out for other soaps to try.

DonDawna · 28/06/2024 08:44

Try Honesense/ TX max they sell soap like that

Chewinggumwall · 27/07/2024 20:50

Any luck??

Chewinggumwall · 13/09/2024 15:03

@ReallyShouldBeDoingSomethingElse did you find out in the end?

PerkySnail · 13/09/2024 18:21

TheBunyip · 13/09/2024 20:26

How funny. I was in to max last weekend and thought about this thread 🧼

PerkySnail · 13/09/2024 22:46

And I now go into TK Maxx just to look at the soaps and have a good sniff! I've bought a couple and wonder if this is the'one' 😅
