Provence Sante Luxury French Soap Bar - Moisturizing Shea Butter - Triple-milled Linden Fragrance, 12 oz

Smells great, lasts a long time. I use it with a long-handled soft brush in the shower, and it lathers up nicely. Hope this is always available. If you have small hands, use it with a brush or puff, and it'll be easier to make use of, rather than trying to grasp it in wet hands and apply it directly to your body.

Absolutely LOVE the Provence Sante products! Linden is a favorite.

I love Provence Sante soaps, but usually I buy the Bergamot scent, which is in fact wonderful. But somewhere I saw that this was their most popular scent so I decided to try it. When I opened the plastic wrap I sniffed it and it really didn't have much of a scent at all. I like their soaps because they produce a really nice satisfying lather and leave you feeling squeaky clean, but not dried out, with a light scent residue that doesn't interfere with perfumes--so I love Provence Sante soaps. I wasn't going to reject the Linden because it didn't seem to smell of much of anything--that's OK too. But here is the deceptive part. I put the soap in the shower stall all untouched and ready for the morning. The next morning my bathroom had been perfumed with a clean, slightly sweet, not girl-y at all scent, and not an overpowering scent. It just smells fresh and clean--despite the chaos and mess in my bathroom. After a week at least it's still smells wonderful in the bathroom. Now I get why Linden is their most popular scent because it is so aromatic that scents the air wonderfully, without being overpowering in any way on the skin. I recommend it without reservation.

Love the scent.

While this rose soap smells heavenly and makes impressive lather, the shape leaves something to be desired (which is why I took off one star). This bar of soap is HUGE, and for someone with smaller hands, you will have to use this soap in the shower for at least a week with both hands, because it is so big that it’s impossible to hold with one hand. Right there, that’s a big pain in the neck. The only way around this that I can see is to cut the soap into two pieces with a knife as soon as you unwrap it so that it’s easier to hold. Also, because it is so big, it doesn’t fit very well into the soap dish in the shower. It is always on the hairy edge of falling out until weeks later, when it has shrunk enough so that it fits. And because of the shape, where it is slightly skinnier in the middle because it’s curved…well, you know where this thing is going to break into two parts when it finally gets small enough. Yep, it broke right down the middle eventually, and then I had to smash the two pieces together to make it into one piece again. All in all, the shape and size left a lot to be desired. If I were going to give this as a gift, I’d definitely give the smaller, 3.5-oz. disc-shaped soaps of this same scent because giving this huge bar as a gift would probably similarly annoy the recipient. It’s a nice, generous hunk of soap, but it’s just too massive to be practical. Something in size that’s midway between this and the small discs would be ideal, as the 3.5-oz soaps dissolve quickly because they are small, but this ¾ of a pound bar is just too massive and unwieldy the way it’s currently presented.

Subtle but nice scent, unbelievable feel and frothing. So good in the bath, it can also be used for shaving! Mitchell's wool fat is a close competitor, although PS has the better scent and may froth a little easier. Both are well worth the money, although MWF is somewhat cheaper per bar.

Quick shipping, will reorder this product! I have used it exclusively for almost 30 years! I have finally found the best, and buy nothing else. It is big, and lasts forever. It has a wonderful lemon smell that is so invigorating, and it does not ever dry your skin out like American soap. Once You try it, you’ll be hooked for life! It seems expensive until you get it and see how huge it is and how long it lasts. Probably about four months. I want to try a few of the other flavors, but I can never tear myself away from this scent!

Scent is nearly non-existant. The bar is pretty but *enormous* and is quite high in price. Therefore the only thing in its favor would have been the SCENT...if there was any...there really isn't. It has a very slight soapy scent but nothing at all like Vetiver...Which was the reason I bought the soap... Feeling a bit cheated. Won't be back.
