Soap………

Scottish Fine Soaps have some soapy smelling soaps. The fine naturals is particularly soapy imo. Prefer the, now discontinued, citrus verbena though.

This one is lovely and the only soap I buy now.

Knights Castille...smells very clean and soapy. I buy mine in pound shops or Savers

More pricey but bloody lovely is Nesti Dante esp Villages and Monasteries smell

White imperial leather?

Dettol soap which you can buy from Boots, home bargains & Tesco etc. I also bought about 20 bars of this amazing sandlewood soap from Turkey. I am on my last bar so need to return to buy some more, it smells absolutely lush.

If you want liquid soap try TKMaxx for Savon de Marseille. Check the ingredients that it is soap not SLS.

Your mum sounds fabulous!

Imperial Leather (because I love the smell of patchouli) or Maja (a Spanish soap which can be found on the 'net or Amazon).

Imperial leather do a whiter version that is really lovely. Don't see it very often. And we've got about a million bars of the normal stuff because it was on offer at costco on one of those ridiculously cheap offers.

I've just bought Shield a bulk order from Amazon for DH. He's happy with it.

My mum loves Fenjal and so do I, I use the soap on myself and toddler DD and it doesn’t dry our skin. Such a lovely classic scent.

Another one for Bronnley soap

I’m in Australia, but we use good old fashioned laundry soap in the shower - Sunlight or Velvet.

I like Johnson’s baby soap. Doesn’t dry skin out and is cheap.

The honey one is lovely

Another vote for the Waitrose own brand camomile - really god value as well. A mild soapy smell. It also cleans really well and doesn’t dry out your skin.

And for a more old-fashioned “soap” scent, I look for ones called Milk soaps. They really smell like “soap” to me and I love that smell. Sting in the Tale brand make a nice one.

Also thank you for this thread . I’m bookmarking it for everyone’s ideas as I love soapy-smelling soap!

I love the smell of soap. I especially like Pears, The Dartmoor Soap Company, Kew Gardens soaps from the English Soap company and Coal Tar soap weird medicated sort of smell that reminds me of my childhood.

It's not what it used to be. Same with Pears.

Ooh I’m going to ask my DHs auntie. She’s 90 and very lovely and dresses up to visit which means she is in soft lavender cardigan and smells of soap. It’s such a good clean, safe, smell.

Because of itchy skin I started using goats milk soap lavender scent. It's creamy and works with my pesky skin.

The smell of soap was my pregnancy craving (just the smell, I didn't eat it). The lovely soapy scent.
I was getting so fed up with our soap bars going all mushy, regardless of which soap dish we used, that I bought those soap holders that stick to the tiles/wall above the sink and have a metal disc that you press into the soap and it's held on the holder with a magnet. They are brilliant!

Goats milk soap is available at my local £1 shop. 80p a bar. @justasking111

Thanx everyone!
anyone know what the soap was (80s/90s) that was in a iridescent wrapper and looked like mother of pearl? Used to love that one as a very young child.

Lux?
