Positives :) :

It is a beautiful pinkish-reddish soap with a very good calming and at the same time, an invigorating soap.

It reminds me of puja rooms , and smells to me, more like an agarbaththis. So, If you like the agarbaththi aroma, then probably you would end up liking this soap.

For those who don’t know or don’t remember how agarbaththi smells like, I would relate the smell to a hint of lemon, orange and a lot more of patchouli essence.

It lathers well, and the scent lasts for around an hour or two after bathing.

It does remove dirt and grime to an extent , does not remove the hardcore grease stains.


Negatives :( :

It melts really fast, but not as fast as porridge soap. You would know what I mean if you have used the porridge soap.

I make it a point to cut up lush soaps into little squares and use them. The rest of the soap is safely stashed away in a dry cardboard box.

But still, I find Rs 485 for just two months is a lot!

It makes my skin a little tight and dry, nothing that the moisturizer can not fix, though.

The only thing I actually like about this one is the perfume and that it lasts for quite a while.

This one does not moisturize, does not scrub, in short this one is a normal soap with good aroma.

 
Will I buy this again?? 

Nopes.

Rating:

3.5 out of 5.0 (Given the rating for the perfume, this soap can be skipped if you are not much into perfumed soaps.)
