Mirai Clinical Persimmon Soap Bar for Body (100g) - Nonenal Odor Control with Japanese Persimmon and Green Tea Extract - Deodorant Soap Bar for Men & Women

This stuff is amazing. I am in my 40’s now and heard of a thing called nonenal. I didn’t know this existed and it freaked me out. If you don’t know what nonenal is, it’s basically just “old person” smell. We all know that smell. Just think of your grandparents house when you first walk in after not being there in a while. Apparently, nonenal is oils that oxidize and can’t be removed by normal soap. At least that’s my understanding and since it doesn’t get broken down it transfers to clothing, furniture, etc. Anything our bodies come into contact with. Now, we all know that we are the last ones able to smell our own funk but everyone around us can smell it just fine. And what I read it says that nonenal starts in your 40’s. See why I was freaked out now? But I am also going through perimenopause and am paranoid that I smell different because of the hormonal shift. This soap is supposed to be able to break down the greases that cause “old person” smell and also help deodorize hormonal smell too. So I thought I would give it a try. They show you the areas of your body where the smells come from. One of which is behind the ears and back of the neck. I would have never guessed that those areas caused the smell. But I think it’s fair to say that we all know how behind the ears can get real funky if they aren’t washed regularly. Now get ready because I am going to get slightly gross for a minute. I rubbed my finger behind both my ears and smelled and yeah, it wasn’t great, even though I just washed that morning. So I gave the soap a shot and in particular focused on behind the ears. The result were pretty remarkable. I washed behind my ears on day one and then didn’t do it again for 3 days. Constantly smelling that area each day. The smell stayed gone for 2 days and by about the 3rd day it was starting to become slightly noticeable. That made me a believer. So I started using it in all the places the nonenal is at. I start by washing my entire body with regular soap and then at the end of my shower I use this soap in all the places they teach you that nonenal shows up. I have to say that I feel much more confident about how I smell after using it. No one wants to go through hormonal changes but we all have to. At least now we can be more comfortable in our skin while we go through it. I know it’s very expensive for a soap. But it is worth it. And if you only use it on the parts of the body that the nonenal smell comes from you won’t have to buy it again for a couple of months. Lastly, you need to be aware of the many knock offs that are out there. Be careful not to buy a soap that claims to do the same thing for a cheaper price. As far as I know, this is the only brand sold in the U.S. that actually has the ingredients in it that helps with the smell. So only buy this brand and even then be careful that you aren’t being sold a bootleg. It needs to come from Mirai. Even here on Amazon, you need to make sure you buy it from the Mirai store. It would really suck to pay this much for a soap that never worked. All that being said, I know I am not going to be without it, but that’s just me. Hope this long winded review helps.

I was amazed at how well this deodorized my body! I'm 67 and while I am not sure if I was excessively "old age" smelling I exercise on most days and get sweaty so wanted to try this soap. I have never smelled so odor free in my life. Even my deodorant stops smelling so strong after I apply it, it just takes odor away.It is a bit drying-I have psoriasis so I have to watch that- but used every couple of days it works out fine for me. As we age our skin gets thinner so the need for less soap is not a surprise anyway.The bar of soap fits nicely in my hand and makes it easy to use.

I am 67 and kept noticing a faint old person smell. I stopped using products containing aluminum and thought that was the problem. I tried a half dozen deodorants but the smell got gradually worse. It got to the point where a fresh shower made no difference even when I used a 4% solution of Hibiclens. I bought this product and didn’t shower for two days just to up the challenge. I noticed a considerable difference but I could still smell a very faint odor. I was going to look for something else but realized as the day progressed the odor did not. The next day I took another shower and the odor was gone and stayed gone until the next day. This is the best solution I’ve found for old person smell. It’s pricey so I took away one star, but until something better comes along, this is my go to.

This product is a life saver! It Completely eliminated my husband’s “old people smell”, which was driving me crazy. I am so happy to have FINALLY found a solution to this smelly issue…

So far, so good. Cleans well, neutralizes old-lady-smell, has not caused any bad reaction on my skin. I will reorder when this bar is done.

It is way too expensive for size. It doesn’t smell bad when you use it. I didn’t seem to have any dryness. I would not buy it again. I don’t think because of the price. She needs to get the price down is extremely high and will not last very long. Update. I have used it for a few days and it extremely drys out my skin. It maybe stop smell , can’t review on that as I don’t have smell but I think there are better or at least cheaper ones.

My order came fast, well packaged. The persimmon soap is round, brownish and quite big. It doesn't have any scent, yet leaves a feeling to be very clean after the shower.

Great product, and the best thing I've found so far for nonenal smell. But it goes fast!
