I also got this soap at Vitacost where it was a mere 67 cents! I'm on the fence on the scent. I find it a overpowering, but it thankfully doesn't last. It reminds me of a hippie or smoke shop...

I just received this soap from Vitacost.com (where it is, I believe, under $1 for the original rectangular export) and so far I like it. I have used it on my hands and face. It's a bit drying...

Well for starters this soap is dirt cheap. It cost around a dollar. The scent is extremely strong, not a bad smell but very strong patchouli, musk type fragrance. My husband used it at night and he...

I read the reviews on this soap and was intrigued. I found it in Whole Foods and decided to give it a try since it was pretty cheap ($1.19). I just got out of the shower and I've never seen a soap...

I have finally figured out that I just do not like patchouli, at all! This soap has a very strong fragrance of patchouli. Also, the soap dried my skin out and gave me a bit of a rash. It is all...

A very nice natural soap that has a really fresh scent. Cleans well without leaving behind a residue. I'm squeaky clean and refreshed when I use this soap. My daughter gets a red/ezcema rash...

This is my everyday bar soap. I use on my face and body. Great lather/scent. Cheap as can be for a good product. Will continue to repurchase.

Guess I'm the minority here! Got this on eBay @ a steal for USD$3 shipped. This soap has a very strong scent. The scent lingers long after I've taken my shower and on my skin. I don't despise...

LOVE the scent. It doesn't really moisturize, but that's okay. I think come summer this is going to double as my perfume, because it smells divine.
