ChandrikaBath and Body Ayurvedic Oval Bar Soap (Pack of 10) (75gm / 2.64 oz)

Great and outstanding product.

Really lovely scent and cleans really well

Excellent savon authentique indienne

Diese Seife riecht einmalig und ist sehr pflegend. Der Duft liegt noch lange nach dem Gebrauch in der Luft. Ich habe schon das zweite mal einen 10er Pack gekauft.

I have been using this soap for years and although it has an updated look and feel to the packaging it is indeed the same soap I remember using for about 20 years now. To describe the scent, since so many are opinionated about it, is to say it is definitely not a "western scent". You are not getting "Irish Spring" or "Lifebouy" here. This is an eastern scent which makes it all the more akin to what we may describe as incense. It reminds me of a woody, lime-y, incense that has a lasting smell. Now, if you are not a lover or oriental or woody, even earthy or smokey smells this soap would not be for you based on the smell alone. However, I do believe in it's powers to heal and to cleanse. Remember the ayurvedic system of herbalism is 4000-6000 years old and these amazing plants in India have a remarkable power to balance and heal. This is not something they invented last year, so I trust the passing of time and the millions, perhaps even a billion of people who have used this soap with success. I find that while it may be drying to some, it is useful for oily skin and it makes me feel especially clean and refreshed. The makers it seems, being Indian, have respect for those who are vegetarian and so there seems to be no animal products in the soap (remember the sacred cows of India.) This is nice to know even though I am not usually into that sort of thing. I certainly feel cleaner knowing its based on plant oils than animal oils. Just imagine bathing in animal oils and by products. Just doesn't seem as clean to me.
