My husband is a soap snob. We got a few unique soaps a while ago and this is in his top two. This brands' soaps have just the right amount of scent, very well balanced. These soaps don't last forever, :), but...they last every bit as long as a 'store bought' normal soap of the same size lasts. I find that I do not feel the need to go over my body a couple times, I feel well clean after one go.
