This is I think I my favourite soap from lush. I got it a sample and even my boyfriend loved the scent. I love jasmine scents so it is gorgeous but so expensive that I can't really justify it :(

I love the scent -- fresh, punchy and unique. But $9 for a small bar of soap is ridiculous, especially since it has cheap synthetic detergents in it. I am a soap snob and the small batch exotic oil soaps I buy from artisans don't cost that much.

This Soap smell's so good i am a fan of Lush Karma scent it is a patchouli, lemon grass, Pine, Orange scented product it is so unique i just can't describe the scent. i bought this soap just for the scent. If they came out with a shower gel i would probably have purchased that instead just because i prefer shower gel. This work's just like a normal soap, it cleans well, but i really love this for that karma scent! it is lovely reminds me of being outdoors and it has a wonderfull earthy scent!

Got this in a "Karma set", I was going to buy only Karma Kream, but there's this promotion for the set that comes with a Karma soap, a Karma Kream, and a Karma solid perfume. I have always liked the scent of Karma (my sister hates it, so obviously it's not for everyone), so I thought why not, I will buy the set and give it a try.
The soap has a more intense and orange-y smell than the body lotion, it's a bit drying on the skin (I am used to Dove Beauty Bar, which is not drying at all, so perhaps the comparison isn't exactly fair). I use a Muji net to help it foam up, so it lathers really well in my experience. I think it works better on my hair than my body, and the smell lingers longer on the hair as well.
I think I might buy it again for my hair and the scent. Soaps are a lot more travel-friendly.

It's a hg soap for me. I try other Lush soaps and eventually come back for this. The scent is very strong and not for everyone though. Also melts a little bit quicker than other lush soaps. Overall I recomend this soap and would repurchase.

I love this soap. It's my favorite fragrance of all time next to MAC's Turquatic perfume. It does melt more quickly than regular soap, so I don't use it everyday. I'm trying to save it so I can use it as long as possible! This was my first purchase at Lush 2 years ago, and it's one I DO NOT regret!

The only downside is that it doesn't foam very well, and it's pretty drying. You'll need to use a good moisturizer after this.

This soap is great. I've had it for nearly 6 months, and it hasn't turned crusty or lost its scent. It's a very strong scent, so I don't use this all the time (especially if I plan on wearing perfume). It's a strong, juicy scent of citrus and patchouli, I think it's really refreshing and uplifting. My mum says it reminds her of old rockers, so it's definitely not a scent for everyone. It lasts for ages too, so make sure you like the scent quite a bit before you use it! As for its soapy properties, it lathers well but like most soaps it's a bit drying (another reason I don't use it every day). I still give it 4 though, because I use it mainly for the fragrance and to be honest, I've never found a soap that doesn't dry my skin a little-that's just the nature of soap.

I really don't know why but its smell reminds me a glass of coke with a lemon slice. I bought a 100gr bar, paid 15 TL (about 7.50 $) thinking will last quite a lot but I was so wrong. It lasted about 10 showers! The smell lingers for an hour or two. I also used its body lotion but it smells a little bit different than the soap, more like a cookie not like a Coca Cola with lemon:)
Anyway, I may rebuy this soap once or twice a year but I don't think I will buy it regularly, because it is overly priced and beside its smell, does not have any pros.

This soap smells amazing. Like fruity orange and grapefruit with complex spicy notes. I read a review that said this smelled very strongly of patchouli 'knocked over the head' were her words I believe. I didn't smell patchouli at all in this, whatever patchouli was in it only contributed to the whole experience, not overwhelmed it. My mother bought a huge chunk of this soap (I took her into lush and she spent more than I did! :) and cut off about a 50g slice to use in the bath along with her karma bubble bar. This small slice lasted a bath, and three or four showers with the whole family using it (even my dad lol). All in all, this was an awesome soap, the scent lasts for ages on your skin. I can't attribute to the moisturing qualities as I don't have dry skin, however my mother did remark to me that it certainly leaves you feeling 'squeaky clean'. No doubt will repurchase.

My fiance and I absolutely LOVE this scent. Its probably our favorite all time scent for soap. Its very theraputic. I do agree it can be overpowering for people who arent into it. I had a friend come over and tell me my soap smelled like Hippie Soap and she hated it! lol. So really its one of those scents you either love or hate. My hands smell so good after I just cant stop smelling it! I just wish this soap lasted longer, as with other Lush soaps however considering they dont put all these chemicals into them, I do understand why they dont last as long.

I love karma soap!! It's a glycerin soap that is very silky, has a strong, lasting scent that is amazing!! My only complaint is that they custom cut the soap for you creating hard edges. I wish you could get this smooth and round like a bar of Dove!

This soap smells like magic. After a long day, I sometimes find myself standing in the shower and just slowly inhaling the scent. It oddly relaxes me and strangely takes me back to fond memories that I have. I cannot get enough of it! I normally enjoy light, girly scents, but there is something about Karma that I absolutely love. It is definitely NOT for everyone though and I do recommend getting a sample of this try first before purchasing it.

Yes, yes, yes Karma soap is my all time favorite, its my first introduction to lush and also Karma soap gives me all the calm and comfort that I need after a hard day of work. i will buy it again and again...... I stock very well of Karma during the boxing day I can't live without my karma soap. The smell is strong but if you are like me who likes strong and unique scents karma is the key.

UGH! I got this in the Good Karma package. I like patchouli but I got knocked over the head by this, and it just smells like a Dead concert. I won't even use it because it's just too strong. If you enjoy those heady kind of scents, I suppose this works for you.

have to be in the mood to use this, but when i am this really hits the spot. the smell is really nice if you like orange and patchouli. it does smell a bit more manly than other LUSH "unisex" fragrances, at least to my nose, but it hasn't put me off using it. while its not a scent i seek out regularly, i do like to use it on occasion. as another reviewer has mentioned, it does leave the skin feeling tight after use, but that will be all that toning citrus.

The scent of this soap is far too overpowering and heavy for me. I like the orangy aspects but that doesn't take away the fact that it still smells too much like patchouli, at least to my taste. Since I'm not exactly a pachouli fan I will not buy it again and try another Lush soap instead.

I LOVE THIS SCENT. Complex & unisex... when u shower with it, u can immediately smell the hippie/patchouli scent, then some orange notes, a hint of pine... mmm.


What I CANT STAND, however, is the squeaky feeling it leaves on your skin. (Like all LUSH soaps, I guess.) An annoying, glycerin soap squeaky feel. It fades, though and leaves your skin feeling soft. A++

This soap smelled way better in the shop :(
When I brought it home it smelt so manly to me that I just gave it all to my boyfriend who loves it.

I have used this a couple of times and I found that gel-like soaps, like Karma, aren't very moisturizing. The scent does linger for a long time though :)

I love this scent on my boyfriend xD

I've bought this one so many times. I don't think I'll stop either. I LOVE the smell of karma, although admittedly, at first whiff I didn't care for it. It kind of grew on me with each trip to the lush store. :) I have never considered myself a fan of patchouli, but boy, when they mix it with the orange oil, it smells shockingly good. I am thinking about slicing a sliver to keep in my car as an air freshener. I will note that this soap will drip its orange-y cast all down your shower if you're not careful where you put it. But so, so worth it. Love!!!
