The soap is great. The picture is slightly deceptive. The dish that comes with it is a flower pot tray, the cheap ones made from terracotta. And the "ribbon" around it is a very cheap ribbon, that advertises this company that is selling them.If you repackage the soap or just use the soap yourself it's great. Others may not be as picky as I am, but what I got wasn't as nice as described.

I thought I'd try something different and get this 600g bar of soap.This is major piece of soap and will most likely last me a year or more.It really lathers up nicely and looks good in the candle holder tray I needed to get to hold it (it's much bigger than a normal soapdish size). I like the smell and feels good as a face soap.Hope after the year is takes me to use it, my skin benefits from the daily olive oil treatment.

de-luxe SaVON Bar Soap 2 ea Review

de-luxe SaVON Bar Soap 2 ea
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This grayish blue soap lathers very well and doesn't seem as drying as most other soaps.Although newly purchased at the store, it smells vaguely of lavender.(Who knows how long it sat around in the store though.)According to the package, this is an exfoliating soap, and there are a few brown specks in there of je ne sais quoi (I don't know what), but no, the soap doesn't really exfoliate.This particular SaVon soap is 100% vegan with no animal ingredients nor testing.

Minus a star for environmentally wasteful packaging.The two bars come in an unnecessary plastic sleeve that will take up space in a landfill.I hope the company will consider redesigning their packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.Besides, this French-milled* soap with the French sounding name didn't have to travel across the Atlantic, it's made in the USA.

*I think it's no accident that they left out the hyphen in "French milled" and gave their product a French-sounding name.They want you to think it was made in France and presumedly a better soap with greater mysterious beautifying properties than those made in the USA.

Mistral Shea Butter Soap, 7-Ounce Bar Review

Mistral Shea Butter Soap, 7-Ounce Bar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love Mistral soaps, but I typically use them as sachets, not soap. I've had a bar of Tuberose soap in with our sheets for two years (one bar for that entire time), and every time I pull out a clean set of sheets they are wonderfully scented with rose. The orange/green fig soap is in with our towels and I love that as well. Gardenia is one of my favorite scents, but I like that one most as a personal soap or in their shea butter hand cream. So many soaps and creams have a weird chemical smell or are sickeningly sweet; these Mistral scents smell like real flowers and fruits.

Average Reviews:

Ok, so it's an odd shape if you're used to a bar, but the "chiseled" border edges actually make it easier to hold than a bar of soap and (over time) it will wear down to more of a bar soap. There's no regular soap out there that will moisturize your dry skin better than this soap. It feels great & you'll enjoy using it every day.

L'Amande All Natural Unscented Marseille Soap - Sapone Marsiglia - 6.6oz Review

L'Amande All Natural Unscented Marseille Soap - Sapone Marsiglia - 6.6oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've tried many different soaps... Not because I have problem skin, but because regular "soaps" (sodium tallowate-based soaps) leave my skin dry and itchy -- especially in the winter. While I alternate among various bars, L'Amande has quickly earned a permanent spot on the "rotation" list. The bar works well and produces a medium lather; after using this soap, I require no additional moisturizing.

Be forewarned... one bar used regularly by one person will only last a few weeks. Regardless, I do plan on purchasing more. (I do wish the price were less, but a 6.6 oz. bar is rather formidable).

Product Description:
Our Geranium soap with French rose clay, cleans and balances the complexion by removing excess oils without drying your skin. French rose clay is good for those with either oily skin or dry congested skin.. The natural fragrance comes from the essential oil of Egyptian rose geranium, sweet, heavy aroma, sophisticated, fresh floral somewhat like rose with a minty overtone. Pelargonium graveolens, the rose-scented geranium, belongs to the same plant genus as the popular red-flowered window box geranium. Geraniums are native to arid areas of South Africa's Cape Province. The plant is highly drought resistant, thanks to its semi-succulent, water-conserving stems and leaves. Popular during the Victorian era, rose geranium was often kept potted in parlors were a fresh sprig was always available to revive the senses. The fresh leaves were also offered in finger bowls at formal dining tables. Today, geranium is an indispensable aromatherapy oil. It's one of the best skincare oils, offering relief from congested, oily and dry skin. On an emotional level, geranium promotes stability and balance. Our products never contain synthetic fragrance oils. Created with French rose clay to absorb dirt oil and toxins from the skin while it cleanses and tones for soft and radiant skin. Unlike other clays, French rose clay is mild enough to be use every day without drying out your skin . With a olive , palm, and coconut oil base and cocoa butter added for richness, it makes this soap a wonderful soap with amazing lather and scent. Finally we fold in crushed flowers to make the soap a real mild natural exfoliant.

Pre de Provence Lavender Soap, 250g wrapped bar. Imported from France. With shea butter and natural herbs and scents.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
... this being a huge bar of soap lavished with a great amount of lavender oil for fragrance.

... this being a bar of soap that is throughly embedded with real lavender buds that yield even more fresh scent and create a mild exfoliating effect.

... this being a bar of soap made only with natural ingredients such as olive oil and shea butter and herbal oils.

The result is a soap that is far more soothing to the skin and the nose and the soul than any bottle of gel goo you'll get off your grocery store shelf. This product will cause you to look forward to every shower.

This company and others like it vend at least a dozen scents, but as far as I can tell, it is Provence lavender that is overwhelmingly preferred in French soaps.

Many soaps in this genre claim to be a product of France, tripled-milled according to the ancient tradition of "Savon de Marseille" (soap of Marseilles.) I did a little research and Googling and here are some facts I found interesting:

* According to the Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur Tourist Board website "Today, only a half-dozen soap factories remain in Marseilles and Salon de Provence."

* According to French law, only 45% of a product's added value must be sourced in France for it to be labeled "Product of France."

* I was unable to locate a website for the Pre de Provence company or anumber of other popular French soap brands listed at french soaps .

* The trademark for Pre de Provence is held by a small distributing company in Washington state.

* The tourist board website also says that the traditional Savon de Marseille process yields only soaps that are light green or wheat in color.

* That website and others show that a traditional Savon de Marseille is typically cubic in shape and has a distinctive and odd debossing.

* a somewhat similar product to this one sells in my local supermarket and it (unlike this product) does come labeled with a list of ingredients: "100% vegetable oils (palm, coconut a/or oil), shea butter, mineral, pigment and clay, natural fragrance, and or essential oils." I watched a TV show about soap making in Marseilles and, as far as I can tell, this list mimics well the ingredients in classic Savon de Marseille. Next time you are in the grocery store, take a moment to read what's in mass-marketed soap. Makes you wonder why you haven't wondered before.

Even with those facts giving me a bit to wonder as to exactly how or where Pre de Provence is produced, the product is nonetheless fantastic. I've tried several products of this genre and, so far, this seems the very best. And it's a bargain compared to many other products in the genre.

Sure, it's more expensive than supermarket soap. And because of the volume of buds, it goes quicker. But on a per day basis, this does not cost that much more. Like I said, if you are willing to fork out what amounts to about $2,000 per pound for coffee at S***bucks, or $5 for a bottle of mass market body scrub gel, then you can certainly afford to treat yourself to a few bars of this stuff.

Then, if you like it, The Frenchy Bee will sell it in bulk, bringing down the cost even more.

Besides, you get to tell everyone at work that you were late again because you were rinsing all the lavender buds out of your tub.

Give it a go.

UPDATE (12/2009): This now comes in a lavender bar WITHOUT the lavender buds. Oui!
