Product reviews of Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) with Pure Crushed Local Flowers from France
Review: Huge Block of Soap, Crumbled :-(
Beauty product: 2 Stars
I bought two of these soaps, the verbena (which smells lovely) & the orange one (nothin special...). I had resigned myself to using one as a mantel splash of color but tonight I read the reviews and one said they are easy to cut. So here I am with a huge knife in the kitchen and left with one misshapen hunk o f crumbly soap. It is horrible soap. Although I recommend the chunk of verbena in a car if one lives in a desert community, the heat makes the car smell great!! Don't buy these expecting to use them in the tub. Review: Luxurious, with Heavenly Scent!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
This fragrant line of "Savon de Marseille" is sheer bliss! I bought the Lavendar and the Rose. Each has a wonderful fragrance that permeates the senses, and provides for a very satisfying and luxurious bath and shower experience. The moisturizing qualities of these pure "Vegetable Oil" base soaps are combined with heavenly fragrance. Not the cheap smell of ordinary lavendar and rose scents often found in bath products; but rather, the intoxicating aroma of "Lavendar Flowers" growing in a field, or the unmistakable delicate yet rich perfume of "Rosa Damascena", the Old Damask Rose. Service provided by French Soaps (the vendor) is also excellent! Products arrive fresh, well packaged, and with lightning speed. Review: Marseille Soap is Outstanding

I bought the lavender Savon de Marseille soap for my daughter as a gift. She LOVES it and says she is never going to use anything but this soap for the rest of her life....suffice it to say, my gift was a huge hit. Review: One Block Last 3 Months or More -Mild Fragrance-Verbena
Beauty product: 4 Stars
One block will last 3 mths or longer. This soap was not real fragrant, DOUX soaps are better for fabulous scent that last a long time. Savon De Marseille soaps are made according to strict ancient methods. A blend of olive oil, vegetable oil, alkaline ash, sea plants, fragrance and sea water. Once the blocks are cut they are left to dry outside in the sun.
This soap arrived wrapped in just some loose paper. It is not sealed. Doux French soaps are infused with fragrance and not exposed to air drying to dissipate the scent. They are then shrinked wrapped to preserve the fragrance which is powerful. I gave this Marseille Verbena a 4 star for this reason...lack of potent fragrance.
However everything else about this soap is really good.
How many bars of soap last for months? Because of the olive oil it does not dry out your skin. Its purity makes it great for sensitive skin.
Review: The perfect soap.

You don't need body wash or anything anymore, just get a block of this (one of these will last you months) and all the exfoliating and cleaning you need done is a piece of cake. It has crushed pieces of the flower in the soap, which has a "scrubbing" effect, and which does a good job at exfoliating the skin. It also lathers very quickly and easily. I got Lavender, and it's lovely, and I got a Verbena for my mother, and she also fell in love with it.
I wish they'd make it in a better size though as it's quite big, and having a more typical soapbar shape might be more convenient for some. The big size works fine for me in the end though.
