Nice soap for dry skin
I’ve seen this soap sold online from Europe and was delighted to find it offered at Amazon. I took the advice of one reviewer and ordered the largest size and sliced it into small bars for ease of handling. It was very easy to cut into it.

I used the soap in the shower for the first time today and already know that I’ll purchase it again. It’s a gentle soap with a very soft feel to it. It lathered fine in our hard water. My skin hasn’t felt itchy at all today.

I wondered if because it’s so soft that it would be used up too quickly. But I can already see that it’ll be long lasting. I give it an A+.

Quite honestly the BEST soap in the world.
Ever since I discovered these beautiful blocks of olive oil soaps from this company “French Soaps” my skin is not dry and chapped. I don’t have to use body lotion or hand cream. In the shower it has a creamy feel unlike regular soap, leaving skin soft and clean. Savon de Marseille olive oil soaps are unfragranced, but they have a clean, olive oil scent that I love.

By the way, there are other companies that sell “Savon de Marseille” but if you pay close attention you’ll see that they don’t have the rustic, irregular look of the ones from French Soaps. I learned that French Soaps is the only ones still making Savon de Marseille by hand (as it has been for centuries). They are poured and cut (resulting in a softer soap — and softer skin). The others you see are actually machine-made replicas of the real deal and I’m told that in France these replicas are strictly for export — they know the hand-crafted ones are the true originals and the best.

I LOVE these soaps.

I am so glad to find this soap online!
I found this soap in a honey shop in Paris in winter 2006 and after the first use I told my friends about it and afterwards they bought the same soap and continue to buy it today. It smells like olive oil, but it doesn’t smell strongly. I recommend people using this soap lather and rinse twice in a row for best results, it will make your skin soft and smooth and the natural ingredients make the results long lasting, I use it once every three or four days but it’s gentle enough to use every day. I wish I had bought more while in Paris because it is impossible to find in California!

Luxurious, with Heavenly Scent!
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.

One Block Last 3 Months or More -Mild Fragrance-Verbena
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.

Each beautiful block is a Masterpiece.
This isn’t just a soap. It’s a pure formation of flowers and fragrance that you never want to be without. The block shape reminds one of its pedigree: the famous, centuries-old “Savon de Marseille” French soaps. But then this company (called “French Soaps” simply enough) started adding crushed lavender flowers from the countryside of southern France along with pure lavender fragrance. The result is the most beautiful, rustic, heavenly soap on the planet. As the flowers lightly exfoliate, the olive and palm oils moisturize and nourish. I buy 10 at a time and share them with my closest friends. By the way the verbena and rose petal varieties are just as wonderful. I haven’t yet tried the orange flower (might just order them today!).
