First off, let me just say – the scent of this soap is DIVINE. The gardenia fragrance is strong but not overpowering, filling my bathroom with a fresh, floral aroma every time I use it.
I love that it's a loaf you can cut yourself. I got about 12 decent-sized slices from my 5-pound block. Pro tip: use a sharp knife and cut when the soap is at room temperature for clean slices.
The lather is rich and creamy, leaving my skin feeling moisturized thanks to the vegetable glycerin base. No tight, dry feeling after washing – just soft, smooth skin.
My only minor complaint? The cellophane wrapping isn't super sturdy. Once opened, I had to transfer my unused portion to an airtight container to preserve the scent.
After two months of daily use (one slice lasts about 2 weeks), I'm completely hooked. It's become my go-to gift for housewarming presents too! Just be warned – your friends will ask where that amazing gardenia smell is coming from.
