Customer Reviews

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+.

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!

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.
