L'OCCITANE Shea Butter Extra-Gentle Hand & Body Soap Bar, Cleanses & Softens Skin, Moisturizing, Soothing Scents, Non-Drying, Vegan

This is a premium product at a premium price. The quality of the lather and the feel of the soap is very refined and the scent is balanced and smoother / more subtle than similar soaps. There are other options which have similar quality at about 1/3 lower cost (e.g., La Chatelaine Luxury Bar Soap and Pre de Provence Artisanal Soap Bar). Overall this is recommended as the top choice if cost is not a concern.

The media could not be loaded. Yes, the price, at the time of this writing, is now $14 a bar. That feels stupid high (but in reality isn't, as I'll explain below). However, after years of using this particular soap, I wouldn't change, and every time we stay somewhere else and have to use a different soap I wish I had this.The scent and lather are nice, and it rinses well without drying, so you don't have that greasy feel after using a body wash, for example. However, the two things that make this a good value relative to the obviously high price, in my opinion, are:1. The bar is oversized. It is nearly twice the weight of other bars. There is just a lot more soap here.2. It has the same characteristics all the way to the end. By that I mean, I've tried other bars, and it often seems like what is useful leaches out, and toward the end you have something that doesn't lather or clean well. These soaps, for me, work right until the end.Net, this will last a lot longer than other, cheaper bars.Overall, a good value and a great experience despite the up-front price, but the price is getting close to the inflection point, even for a loyal user like me...

gentle on my sensitive skin

I have been buying for 20 plus years. Need I say more

I love this soap. I first used it during an overnight stay with my hubby in a well known hotel in Boston. It has been years.The unfortunate part was that it arrived partially crumbled. This was disappointing. It's a pricy item. Because the scent is very nostalgic for me, I was willing to pay it. When the time comes, I probably won't buy it again due to this.

This soap smells amazing and you can tell it really gets you clean because you have to clean your shower every 3 days (the dirt tells). It makes you feel super luxurious and makes the shower not just a task but an enjoyable experience. I love this soap wholeheartedly!
