Marius Fabre Cube of Pure Marseille Soap Lot of 2

Yes it has the distinctive smell, but I've got used to it fairly quickly. Gentle for body, gentle for face, gentle for my child's skin too. We feel very clean after use. We started using this instead for shampoo and the effect is outstanding. My child has very fine and long long hair and they get tangled very very badly all the time. This soap significantly reduced the tangles, and her hair is becoming supple and does not feel dry at all. My hair has been dry for a good couple of years and couldn't brush it through to the tip without tugging and pulling. Now there is no problem brushing, plus the embarrassing smell of scalp (and body) is completely gone after less than a week of use this. I am very happy and I definitely keep buying this soap from now on. Update: I stopped to use this as shampoo everyday but 1-2 times a week since I start feeling the hair is getting bit heavier than I like. Still working like magic.

I have been using Savon de Marseille soap for a few years for health reasons to cut down on toxins I use in my home and on my body, and also not to pollute the environment. It is a French soap with just a few natural ingredients, mainly olive oil, so there are no parabens, sulphates, sls, perfume etc. The natural scent of this soap can be quite strong, I don't mind it, and the smell does diminish with use. They call it a wonder soap as it is pure and gentle, soothing for sensitive skin. I find it very moisturising on my skin. It looks great on display in my bathroom, and it lasts for a very long time. I've bought Marseille soaps on other online soap stores but it was expensive so I thought I'd try these. There was no fuss packaging although one was a little dented in transit but I'm happy with the price and my purchase.

This is wonderful, natural soap made with olive oil and a total of just seven natural ingredients - no perfume, no animal fat.

This is very nice soap apart from the smell which is not entirely unpleasant but slightly unusual. I am used to using French soap which is much better quality than UK soap but generally I buy perfumed soap direct from the factory. However having said that I would not hesitate to recommend this soap as it is lovely on the skin and lathers very well.

I was really excited to try this soap due to the outstanding reviews, no only on Amazon but across the internet. First off, let me say that the shipping was fast and I felt, for the size of the soap, the price was fair. The soap lathers well and rinses beautifully clean without leaving that "stretched skin" feeling of dryness. A definite plus! I use this for my face as well as my body and, for someone who has the most sensitive of skin and has suffered from acne and allergic reactions my entire adult life, it is rare that I am able to find a product that is this multipurpose. Now for why I only gave this soap 3 stars. Unfortunately, I can't get past the smell. Perhaps the bar I received was wrong or had gone off somehow because I don't see others mentioning this smell that often but I just can't deal with it. My husband grew up on a farm and was quick to agree with my observation that this soap smells like a barnyard. Not like animal excrement but the earthy, pungent, aroma of dirt, wet straw, animals. It is not a smell that bothers me when I am on the farm but it is NOT something I want to smell in my shower and certainly not something I want to smell like AFTER I've cleaned myself! As I said, perhaps the soap I got was from a bad batch, but, if this is what the soap usually smells like I will not be ordering it again. A shame seeing as otherwise, this is a lovely soap.

I’ve used this product previously purchased whilst visiting France and it was great as a daily face wash. However, purchasing this from Amazon, whilst it smells the same, the packaging is very different and it has made my skin which was once naturally oily, to flakey, dry, tight and itchy. I had to stop using it and within 11 days my skin stopped flaking and was somewhat back to my ‘normal’.

Absolutely love this authentic French soap with it's unique scent. Feel free to send me some for a more detailed review.

Although this is not the nicest smelling soap, it leaves my skin feeling very soft. I use it on my face and there is non of that 'tightness'. I've given it 4 stars rather than 5 because of it's scent, but perhaps that isn't fair as I knew it was olive soap when I purchased it. I would buy it again. It also seems very long lasting.

Perfect delivery of a very good product

Der Geruch verfliegt relativ schnell. Ich nutze die Seife zum Hände waschen, zum Abwaschen, zum Duschen und um in der Küche hartnäckige Fettfilme zu entfernen ( Abzugshaube). Dafür funktioniert sie wirklich sehr gut. Eine Papierverpackung wäre noch ein Verbesserungsvorschlag.

Hace mucha espuma y lava muy bien, lo que no me gusta es el olor, yo pensé que tendría ese perfume como los jabones de la abuela y resulta que huele a keroseno. Por lo demás muy bien deja las manos suaves y la ropa también, pero el olor no me gustaría.

Excellent product, I've used it before so there were no surprises. The scent of the soap might seem strong, I personally like it, but the smell disappears / lessens quickly, and after washing, the skin doesn't have the same scent.

Excellent,parfait,même pour les cheveux,je l’utilise depuis 80 ans.
